Trump Tweets Doctored GIF of His Golf Ball Hitting Hillary Clinton
The session comes at a time when the United States is on the cusp of crucial foreign policy decisions: North Korea continues to provoke by firing missiles over Japan,
and Mr. Trump plans to refine his overall strategy on Iran.
The tweet stoked outrage online, generating more than 11,000 replies, many of which condemned the president’s promotion
of violent imagery toward Mrs. Clinton, who, as a former first lady, has lifetime Secret Service protection.
The GIF, which was created by splicing two videos, shows Mr. Trump swinging a golf club
and the ball striking Mrs. Clinton in the back as she boards a plane, knocking her forward.
The post with the golfing GIF on Sunday was just one of several eclectic tweets
that Mr. Trump sent, hours before his trip to New York, where he will address global leaders.
In July, Mr. Trump posted a video of him body slamming a man with a CNN logo superimposed over his head.
