We better careful now when we create funny photoshops or gifs. Trump might find it and tweet it.

This is the logical progression from that time we pissed off Sarah Palin.

Why would this matter? And in any case I highly doubt the President got it straight off reddit; I'm sure it came to him from somewhere else.

Look at what happened to Ken Bone. Dude made some pretty innocuous comments on Reddit and the media treated him like the reincarnation of Hitler. The media dragging a private citizen's name through the mud will mean they will almost certainly be fired and unhireable, could gently caress up the lives of their family/kids and make them an outcast in their community.

Welcome to the grim cyberpunk future.

Now you will comply and obey or we the media, the unelected fourth estate of the realm, will publicly crucify you and ruin your life

The only reason someone as unlikable as Trump is the President in the first place is because his enemies found a way to be even more unlikable.

In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

I would be willing to bet serious money that the vast majority of people could not give the tiniest gently caress. It's not like tweeting that gif is an endorsement of everything the guy who made it ever said.
