President Donald Trump on Christmas Eve retweeted a doctored image with the CNN logo imposed on a bloodlike splatter under his shoe, prompting an outcry — with critics deeming the picture and its timing offensive. 

“So many things accomplished by the Trump Administration, perhaps more than any other President in first year,” President Trump had tweeted Dec 24. “Sadly, will never be reported correctly by the Fake News Media!” “Thank you President TRUMP!!" oregon4TRUMP replied, adding an apparently altered image of Trump in the back of a car with the crushed CNN logo on the sole of his left shoe. The image had additional text superimposed on it that read, "WINNING." On Dec 25, in between tweets promoting a conspiracy theory about FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and attacking "Fake News" and "Fake Polls,"  President Trump retweeted the image to his more than 45 million followers.
