So are Trump's supporters gonna claim he was joking?

So Trump posted a video on Twitter showing him attacking a guy with CNN on his head, and was accused by some journalists of inciting violence against them. Last week, there was a question on this website (it has been taken down now. I guess something on it must have violated the guidelines.) accusing liberals of trying to incite a civil war in the USA, and giving three tweets as evidence. The first was by comedian Sarah Silverman, and while I forget the names of the other two, they were also comedians and entertainers. I pointed out that the tweets were probably intended to be funny, but the Trump supporters all tried to claim they were genuine attempts to incite violence. So, are Donald's supporters going to tell us he was just trying to be funny?

    Most of the Republican Party remain silent on the matter, but the rest of his enablers are saying just that as we speak.

    Sara Silverman is NOT loyal.  She is a LEAKER.  She has blood coming out of all her holes and she should be banned from the country as a terrorist.

    Everyone knows that.  Trump said so.  She is NO Mavrik.    She is no Sara Palin.

    If you don't like that just wait for the next thing he does. Should be an emotional four years for you with all of your buttons pushed. This post was edited by O-uknow at July 4, 2017 7:10 PM MDT

    The next four years should be hell for America, with that idiot in charge. No matter how bad our own politicians are, a fool like Trump could never get elected here.

    It seems the original video was made by a Trump fan to support him. I have not found the video Trump posted, but I guess he edited it a bit more.

    No the original is an old WWE episode that Trump participated in 2007. Trump tackled Vince McMahon. They photoshopped CNN logo onto Vince's head.

    Yeah.  Of course you did. 

    Ha ha.  So hilarious.  Just like thinking of Trump running the country and ruining all that was sacred.  Very humorous.
