A viral video shows students at Contra Costa College in California hitting a piñata resembling President Donald Trump, with some cheering as it is decapitated. The incident appears to have occurred several months ago but recently surfaced online. The college issued a statement saying they do not condone violent political rhetoric and treated the matter as a personnel issue. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle condemned such actions while also suggesting those involved seek psychiatric help for what he called "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
