President Trump, back from Asia, knocks ‘loser’ CNN
President Donald Trump bashed CNN upon his return from a 12-day Asia trip, calling it "fake" in an early morning tweet on Nov 15. The president said he was forced to watch the "loser" network it during his stay in the Philippines. "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!" President Trump by contrast tweeted that "Fox and Friends" would be showing more footage of his "successful" trip overseas.
