   Trump is "the most genuine president and the most nonpolitician president we’ve seen in my lifetime," Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday. 
   
   Raddatz asked if the tweet is "the kind of communication you want ... That seems like a threat," she added. 
   
   “Certainly not, though I think that no one would perceive that as a threat. I hope they don’t. I do think that [Trump is] beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to,” Bossert replied. 
   
   The tweet included a GIF of a 2007 WWE incident where Trump body-slammed and repeatedly punched WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The GIF that Trump tweeted superimposed the CNN logo on McMahon’s head. 
   
   Bossert, who saw the tweet for the first time live on "This Week," told Raddatz, “There’s a lot of cable new shows that reach directly into hundreds of thousands of viewers and they’re really not all very fair to the president. So I’m pretty proud of the president for developing a Twitter and a social media platform where he can talk directly to the American people.” 
   
   The homeland security adviser's defense of the tweet later drew criticism from Ana Navarro, a CNN contributor, on "This Week's" roundtable. 
   
   “I am disappointed beyond belief by the answer that the homeland security adviser just gave," Navarro said. "What a wuss. What a wuss. You could see that he is ceding his principles. You are the homeland security adviser and you can’t stand here and say the difference between right and wrong." 
   
   Navarro said the president's tweet "is an incitement to violence. He is going to get somebody killed in the media. Maybe that will stop him.” ||||| President Donald Trump's incendiary tweets have repeatedly sparked controversy since he entered the White House, as they often did during the 2016 presidential campaign. | AP Photo Trump: My social media use is 'modern day presidential' 
   
   President Donald Trump asserted Saturday that his social media use is "modern day presidential," less than an hour after accusing the media of trying to convince lawmakers that he should stop using Twitter. 
   
   "My use of social media is not Presidential - it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again," he tweeted after multiple posts attacking the "fake and fraudulent news media."

   Earlier, Trump tweeted: "The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media - but remember, I won.... ....the 2016 election with interviews, speeches and social media. I had to beat #FakeNews, and did. We will continue to WIN." 
   
   Following tweets attacking "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, some Republicans expressed concerns with Trump's Twitter habit.

   Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said those tweets were "beneath the dignity" of the presidential office. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski tweeted: "do you want to be remembered for your tweets or your accomplishments?" 
   
   Trump's incendiary tweets have repeatedly sparked controversy since he entered the White House, as they often did during the 2016 presidential campaign. 
   
   While on the campaign trail, Trump said he didn't want to act presidential "quite yet," but promised that he would become "so presidential." 
   
   "At some point, I'm going to be so presidential that you people will be so bored, and I will come back as a presidential person," he told supporters at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in February 2016. ||||| Tweet with a location

target: – President Trump escalated his Twitter war with CNN on Sunday, and in the process sparked more concern that he is advocating the use of violence against members of the media, the Hill reports. The president tweeted a modified video of a 2007 WWE wrestling match he took part in, obscuring his opponent's head with the CNN logo, which he proceeds to beat with his fists. Trump tweeted the video with the hashtags "#FraudNewsCNN" and "#FNN." A CNN spokesman called it "a sad day when the president of the United States encourages violence against reporters." But on ABC News, Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert suggested CNN and other critics were overreacting. "No one would perceive that as a threat," he said, adding that Trump is "beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to." The new video comes just a few days after Trump posted two tweets in which he talked about MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski "bleeding badly from a face-lift." Those tweets sparked condemnation from all over the political spectrum, with even Trump's fellow Republicans calling them unpresidential. On Saturday, however, Trump took to Twitter once again to address the backlash, writing, "My use of social media is not Presidential – it's MODERN DAY presidential," Politico reports. At a press conference Thursday, Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump "no way, form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence," the Washington Post reports. "In fact quite the contrary."
