Trump has referred to CNN and other media outlets as 'the enemy of the people' when claiming that reports that paint his administration in an unfavorable light are 'fake news.'
President Donald Trump told one reporter Tuesday that he believed Iran took his threats to heart, and that she does too.
Toward the end of the event in the Oval Office, CNN reporter Abby D. Phillip asked Trump if he thought Iran took his threats seriously. The president replied,"I think everybody does. I think you do, too." As recently as Wednesday, Trump went on Fox News to tell host Sean Hannity that his decision to keep on tweeting was partially rooted in an effort to counteract"when someone says an outright lie on MSNBC or CNN, both of whom are really suffering in the ratings which is very interesting—it's incredible, because they have lost credibility."
