A macabre video causes excitement in the US. It was aired at its Miami venue last week at a Donald Trump supporters' event, according to a New York Times report. This is a massacre to see - perpetrated by a man who was set up by image editing the head of the US President.
The clip is a modification of a scene from the movie "Kingsman: The Secret Service", a black comedy in which there is a massacre in a church. Also, the video now shown plays in a church, in front of it is a sign saying "Church of Fake News". This already indicated in which direction the rest of the video should go.
The video is a kind of billing, especially with the US media. The assembled Trump walks in a suit through the church. He is mobbed by other churchgoers. Several heads have been changed, too, and have been replaced primarily by logos from US media, but also by faces of political opponents Trump.

Finally Trump pulls a pistol and starts his killing spree. He shoots or stabs, among others, Vox, Bloomberg, "Politico", ABC, Vice News, the "Huffington Post", the "Washington Post", Buzzfeed, also the organization Black Lives Matter.
However, Trump also brutally attacks political rivals and critics in the video: he lights the head of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, and he defeats John McCain, Senator of Arizona. He throws Republican Sen. Mitt Romney to the ground. His predecessor Barack Obama throws Trump against a wall. The moderator Rosie O'Donnell he rammed a knife in the head.
Hillary and Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein are also among his victims. Just like Adam B. Schiff. The Democrat from California, as chairman of the intelligence committee, oversees investigations into impeachment Trump.
The president has been sharply critical of the US media since the beginning of his term. Since the beginning of the discussion about an impeachment procedure in the wake of the Ukraine affair, the attacks have increased again. Again and again Trump sees himself as the target of a media campaign. These report in his view regularly false news about him.

The organizer of the event, where the clip was shown, as well as prominent guests distanced themselves from the video. Presidential son Donald Trump Junior and former Trump spokeswoman Sarah Buckabee Sanders said they had not seen the video. Sanders told the New York Times that it condemns "any form of violence against anyone."
The organizer of the event, a supporter group of the president named American Priority, said there had been third-party content at the conference. It rejects "any political violence," said organizer Alex Philip of the "New York Times".
Even a spokesman for the president himself said he knew nothing about the video. It was not produced by Trump's campaign team - "and we do not tolerate violence," spokesman Tim Murtaugh told The New York Times.
At the end of his killing spree, Trump catches CNN, then he stands alone in the church and grins. This particular role of the US broadcaster is reminiscent of a video that Trump himself had posted on Twitter over two years ago. There was also a montage: a wrestling scene in which a fighter with a Trump head banged on someone with a CNN logo as his head.
