	Description:		President Donald Trump was in Tampa, Florida, last night holding a campaign rally to stump for a number of Florida GOP members running for the Senate and Governorship. True to his past rhetoric, the President took time to call out the "fake news" media -- drawing boos, cursing, and choice hand gestures from the crowd. Shortly afterward, CNN's Jim Acosta posted a video recorded at the rally to Twitter, showing Trump supporters pointing at him, cursing at him, and shoving campaign signs at his camera. The frightening video comes on the heels of new reporting, this morning, that Facebook has shutdown dozens of accounts accused of running political influence campaigns, directed at over 290,000 followers. Join us, this morning, as we break down the volatile, anti-media rhetoric created by the Trump Administration, and how the mantra of "fake news" resonates so well with its most loyal supporters. Also making headlines: in a testimony yesterday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, officials from the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that the Trump Administration knew, well in advance, about the emotional and physical repercussions of separating migrant children from their rightful parents. As of today, over 700 children still remain separated from their families, according to the DHS. It's Wednesday, August 1, 2018. Welcome to Morning Joe.
