IN 2010, CUOMO REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS FREDO

Trump heaps MORE scorn on 'out-of-control animal' Chris Cuomo following CNN host's F-bombing threats to beat up a heckler who called him 'Fredo' - and says 'I would not have wanted to see a weapon in his hand!'

Donald Trump piled on Chris Cuomo on Tuesday after the CNN anchor uncorked a series of F-bombs at a man who called him 'Fredo' in public - and threatened to beat him up.

The unidentified man claimed he genuinely thought Cuomo's first name was Fredo; it's the nickname conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh uses for the CNN host.

Fredo Corleone was the dimwitted and disloyal older brother of Michael Corleone, the central character in 'The Godfather.'

As CNN reeled from the public relations damage caused by one of its stars boasting to a viewer that he would 'fucking throw you down these stairs like a fucking punk,' the president weighed in. 'I thought Chris was Fredo also,' Trump tweeted. 'The truth hurts. Totally lost it! Low ratings @CNN.'

In a chat in January 2010, Cuomo joked that he was Fredo in response to his family being called 'la Cuomo Nostra'.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Fredo sounds more like a Mafia made man than a CNN talking head.
