Trump Lashes Out At “Fake News” CNN Reporter For Question About Trade War Tensions With Allies [VIDEO]

Even on the world stage, he just cannot resist:

President Trump slammed CNN as “fake news” after a reporter with the news organization asked him a question during a press briefing at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit. After the reporter asked Trump a question about tensions between him and other leaders at the G-7 summit, the president asked what network he was from.

“Who are you with out of curiosity?” Trump asked the reporter, who replied that he was from CNN. “I figured,” Trump said. “Fake News CNN. The worst.”

Trump then began to say that he “could tell by the question,” before clarifying that he did not previously know the reporter’s affiliation. “I have no idea you’re with CNN,” he said. “After the question I was just curious as to who you’re with, you’re with CNN.”
