President Donald Trump blasted what he characterized as the “fake and fraudulent news media” Saturday, asserting that his use of social media is not presidential, but “modern day presidential.”
The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media – but remember, I won….

Trump also doubled down on his attack on CNN, saying that he may start referring to them as fraud news instead of fake news.
