'Crazy grandpa yelling at the TV': Internet mocks Trump after O'Reilly segment inspires 'carnage' tweet

When Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to warn that he “will send in the Feds” if Chicago “doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on,” the Huffington Post's Michael Calderone noted a parallel between the president’s tweet and a segment hosted by Trump booster Bill O’Reilly on Fox New’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Trump himself had provided insight into his choice of nightly news programming Tuesday evening, sending a congratulatory tweet to Fox News moments before threatening a U.S. city with martial law.

"Fox is now state TV," Sherman added.
