President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to slam CNN, the network he was “forced to watch” while overseas, and it apparently reminded him of why he considers the network to be “fake news.”
“While in the Philippines I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is,” Trump wrote. “Loser!”

The anti-Trump host of CNN’s morning show, “New Day,” Chris Cuomo used Trump’s tweet as an opportunity to finagle landing an interview with the president that will probably never occur. Cuomo regularly mocks Trump on social media and the newsman’s older brother Andrew, the Democratic governor of New York, is known to harbor presidential aspirations. The “New Day” host has also been hostile toward Kellyanne Conway, a key member of the administration who has nonetheless appeared on his show.
Hope you are watching @NewDay again this morning. As always, you are welcome to come on and discuss what matters to the American people. https://t.co/JMAEfqkHfr

Obama then spent his whole presidency attacking media critics — CNBC, Fox News and Drudge among them — yet somehow the major media didn’t mind,” Gainor told Fox News.
