the tweets are important because they're a window into his mind and on his mind is wanting to punch cnn. >> right. what the president says matters. it becomes a leveling of of i e importance, whether it's good or bad. some in the president's corner say, wait a minute. we're taking this way too seriously. ben ferguson on your show earlier says, you know, there's comedy in this. >> right. right. "the daily beast" quoting a couple trump aides saying, this is a joke. you all aren't getting a joke. this is not a big deal. don't overreact. that's on one side. the other side, journalism advocacy groups coming to cnn's defense saying he is suggesting violence, promoting violence through this video pap viewer's opinion may lay somewhere in the middle and i wonder why the president is spending his time posting things like this or caring that much about media coverage in the first place. to me it's a sign of weakness,
