So this guy walks into a bar and sees Chris Cuomo. He walks over to him and calls him "Fredo" (the character in The Godfather). Get ready for the "punch" line.
Here's the punch line: Cuomo went ballistic, and it was all captured on YouTube. Naturally, a delighted President Trump has jumped right in.

Let me take Cuomo's side here (for a moment). Linking Italian-Americans to the Italian Mafia is insulting. Whether "Fredo" equates to the N-word is highly debatable, but calling an Italian-American "Fredo" especially someone you don't know, is out of line. Cuomo, on the other hand, should have realized that exploding like that would be captured on video and voila! He now has a new nickname.
Someone-I think it is Rush Limbaugh - has long been referring to Cuomo as "Fredo". Now, it is going to go viral. Everybody who doesn't like Cuomo is going to be calling him "Fredo".
I will try and resist the urge.
