An ultra-violent video screened last week at a conference for supporters of Donald Trump at his Miami hotel. It shows the president massacring with gun all the media representatives as well as some of his political opponents. The White House claims not to have seen the film.

From our correspondent in Washington , Anne Corpet

The clip is directly inspired by Kingsman , a comic black film of 2014. It shows the head of Donald Trump superimposed on the body of a man in black suit and bow tie, who fires in a church .

Targeted parishioners wear the logos of the vast majority of American media or the heads of their political opponents instead of the face. The scene is ultra-violent: Donald Trump throats with a knife, shoots in the head, throws Barack Obama against the wall, and strikes the late Senator John McCain in the back.

At the end of the video, he looks smirkily at the extent of the carnage. " This clip violates all the standards that our society expects from our leaders, " said Cindy McCain, the widow of the Republican senator. " Donald Trump has not seen the video, but from what he has heard, he strongly condemns it, " said the White House spokeswoman anxious to quell the nascent outcry. But this video illustrates the media hate maintained by President Donald Trump who keeps repeating that the media is the enemy of the people.
