CNN and Anderson Cooper's staff really does not like Trump. They are just making fun of him, and bullying him big time!!!
I guess they can do this until he takes office. However... Is it not disrespectful to speak against a president in public?
I fear...there will be many assassination attemps on Trumps life. I am not going to say how I feel, about how he will be as president. But I have never seen a president that has been elected, hated more, before he even gets started, the way Trump is...
He is still a human being, and holds the highest office this country has...and whether people like him or not, making fun of him, and bullying him is only going to make matters worse.

Yeah, everyone just welcomed Obama with wide open arms when he arrived in office, didn't they? There wasn't any of this negativity and protesting about his election in 2008. 
The First Amendment guarantees we can speak out against public officials (even the President) without fear of censorship. And honestly, a man as disrespectful as Trump has a hell of a long way to go before he earns the right to America's respect.

Everyone has their opinion. I see beyond what many may not see in Trump. He has a lot of good qualities too. No one, and I mean no one, is all bad, and no one, and I mean no one, is all good. We all have pluses and minuses. Regardless... I would have completely lost it, if Hillary had won the election. Her behavior during the Benghazi controversy, was appauling, and unforgiveable, as far as I am concern.

@teresatrotter What good qualities are there? 
To be perfectly honest, neither of the major parties' nominees should have been running for the office, period.

@yukimori - True... But it would have been a nightmare if Hillary had won.

Sadly, this is part of America today. There is no civility. But it isn't new: I remember bumper stickers that said, "My president is (then-NRA president) Charlton Heston" when Clinton was in office, and "Buck Fush" stickers when Bush Jr. was the president. If you go back and read about Kennedy's assassination in 1963 you'll see that there was some concern because Adlai Stevenson had been hit with a protest sign during a visit to Dallas a few weeks before JFK.
The problem I have -- because we as individuals have a Constitutionally-guaranteed right to free speech -- is the media, which is supposed to be "neutral," doing this. And they are answerable to nobody because of "freedom of the press."

@teresatrotter -- I agree, which is why he tweets.

You are right. Personally... Because the media is not neutral, it tends to sway the majority of the public to believe what they believe, even if it is biased. Regardless of whether someone likes Trump or not...he does not have much of a chance to persuade his critics, if the media keeps throwing him under the bus.

@Jessicalynnt - I am not so sure about that. According to the polls, more people voted in this election than in the last in some states.

Most people believe that it was because of Pence, is the reason why Trump got elected. Just saying...

Surely the fact that he still got elected shows that left wing news programmes, satire shows, etc, only have limited influence anyway.

He may not have any political background, but Hillary would have been far worse. Trump has some unconventional ideas, I will say that... But I will not be surprised if he pulls some things off. The guy is a go getter, and if anything...he will give it his best shot. He will have his defeats no doubt...but there has never been a president in office yet, that was able to fulfill all their promises...including Obama.
