Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to attack CNN following the network’s retraction of a story about one of the president’s former staffers, which led to the resignation of three of its reporters.
Trump has a history of attacking media outlets he deems “fake news,” with CNN being one of his most common targets. He has also used TV ratings as an attack topic against his opponents, as he did against Arnold Schwarzenegger during his run as host of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Tuesday morning was no different, as Trump criticized the network for its “phony Russian stories” and said that its ratings were down.
