Trump Tweets, Then Removes Cartoon of Train Running Over CNN Figure
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Also on Tuesday, President Trump retweeted a cartoon showing a train
running over a human figure with CNN's logo over its face with the
caption, "Nothing can stop the #Trump Train!!" Trump deleted the tweet
several minutes after posting it. Trump's tweet drew immediate
comparisons to the killing of 32-year-old activist Heather Heyer, who
was struck by a car Saturday driven by neo-Nazi James Fields Jr.
Mourners are gathering in Charlottesville today for Heather Heyer's
funeral.
