Well, CNN stepped in it again. Editor Chris Cillizza tweeted and then deleted a photo of Trump in a sniper’s crosshair. It’s certainly something that would catch the attention of the Secret Service. It’s certainly not appropriate for a member of the news media to do it. The photo was commenting on President Trump’s remarks commemorating fallen officers; it’s National Police Week this week. The picture featured the president under a green sniper’s scope with the caption, “Donald Trump, pointing to heavens to commemorate police officers killed in the line of duty.”

Cillizza’s tweet quickly caught the attention of social media and he promptly deleted it saying, “I’ve deleted a GIF about President Trump. We use @GifGrabber to make our GIFs and it defaults to the image below as a first frame. To clear up any unintended confusion, I’ve removed the tweet.”
