3. I saw that original video. Those 2 children are best friends.

They ran toward each other and hugged then started gleefully running down the sidewalk. It was not a racist budeo.

5. No it wasn't. If you watch it they show the original and that Trumps was a fake. I guess

it is an attack on cnn.

4. he's using this video was "proof" that the media cherry picks what it shows you

to make drumpf look bad.

The ultimate irony being that with about a million hours of news archive footage to choose from, they picked a clip that was never reported in any way in the fashion the video shows, and slapped a fake CNN banner on it....... then they decried "fake news"

6. And made light of an issue devastating the country.

15. It fits his current theme -

the media cut away when he ran the last 10 feet down the ramp.

Never mind that the media cuting away was a lie.
Never mind that it was 2 steps that you ran.

This was a clip that he could manipulate to show two opposite themes. (Except that no one, even if they had not seen the original video, would believe the initial cut was anything other than two toddlers having fun.)
