(Hey kids! Save that headline and you’ll be able to use it again and again and again…)
Once again, President Donald Trump retweeted a silly meme and liberal Twitter freaked out:

That’s Trump hitting a golf ball cut with one of Hillary Clinton’s many, many campaign trail stumbles, with CGI in the later of that ball hitting her, causing the stumble.
It’s obviously silly, obviously unreal, and elicits a chuckle. It also reminds his followers that the MSM repeatedly covered up this and other Hillary stumbles until leaked footage of her 9/11 collapse made them cover the issue.
Yet liberal Twitter reacted as if President Trump were advocating assaulting random old women in the street:
Trump thinks hitting a woman with a golf ball and knocking her down is funny. Myself, I think it indicates a severely fucked-up mind.

NEVER ACCEPT NORMALIZATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, no matter how much our sick misogynist in chief revels in it. https://t.co/VlRxaIb2SH

Do they actually think Trump is promoting violence? Will hundreds of MAGA-cap wearing Trump supporters descend on Hillary’s book tour with 9-irons and attempt to hook and slice her to death?
It’s like people accusing Mel Brooks of wanting to murder black law enforcement officers based on the sheriff-welcoming scene in Blazing Saddles.
The mockery of same was equally as swift:
Has CNN threatened to dox the person who made this gif yet? 😂😂 #TrumpGolf pic.twitter.com/6Jz1HjtEbb

Trump Golf Meme…
The liberal snowflakes melted down! One lib even said he should be jailed for it–yes, jailed for retweeting a video.

The fake outrage over a video of Hillary getting hit by a golf ball is laughable.
Severed head photo was fine?
Trump murder play was fine?— Bob Koch (@TheBobKoch) September 17, 2017
And this is such a big story that the New York Times, the Washington Post and The Guardian all have stories on it.
The weird thing is, the media ought to know by now that such unbalanced pearl-clutching overreactions hurt them far worse that Trump. They also show Trump’s still using the media’s obsession with him to dominate the news cycle.
