Someone has sent at least 10 explosive devices to prominent Americans (and CNN), and the only apparent thing they have in common is their criticism of President Trump, with Trump typically making the criticism mutual. Early Friday morning, Trump took to Twitter to wonder why news organizations and "others" with similar First Amendment rights can criticize the president "at will," then turn around and say "it's just not Presidential!" when he criticizes the "fake news" media, calling news organizations stuff like "enemies of the people."
So if a Democrat becomes the 46th president, expect Future Trump to be upset that President Warren is mildly upset at Fox News.
