Trump just retweeted an image that shows a train hitting a CNN reporter.
The illustration, which said
“Fake news can’t stop the Trump train”
shows a train with Trump’s name on it heading toward a person with a CNN logo over the head.
Shortly after, Trump deleted the retweet.
On Monday, he went after the “fake news” regarding his comments on the violent clashes in Charlottesville, Va., Saturday. Trump tweeted,
“Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied…truly bad people!”
Following a White House statement on Monday, Trump called CNN “fake news” as he left the briefing room. CNN’s Jim Acosta shot back,
“Haven’t you spread a lot of fake news yourself, sir?”
Trump ignored the question.
This retweet today came after one person was killed and many more injured when a man ran over people protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

UPDATE: According to the Hollywood Reporter, Trump also mistakenly retweeted a message from one of his critics calling him a “fascist.”
He was intending to share a Fox News story about a possible presidential pardon for Joe Arpaio, a former Arizona sheriff who is facing six months in jail for ignoring a court order to stop traffic patrols targeting immigrants.
The user shared the story to his Twitter, but the president missed his comment.
“He’s a fascist, so not unusual”
user @MikeHolden42 wrote along with the article in reference to Trump.
After five minutes, Trump deleted it.
#PresidentSenile?
