Trump Posts Violent Video of Him Beating Up CNN Logo

The video is from a 2007 fight between Trump and Vince McMahon with the CNN logo edited over McMahon's face.

Donald Trump is continuing his war on journalism and CNN in particular.

Brian Stelter, who is CNN's Senior Media Correspondent, also posted a statement from the news organization responding to the disturbing video. The statement read:
