PAIt isn’t news when Trump hits out at CNN – jeez – the Donald does it like clockwork, yet this time, the international news outlet hit back with the truth, literally.
However, before we get into that, let us remind ourselves of the sort of erratic state Donald Trump was in when he made a certain tweet…
The day prior to this, he called out Time Magazine in one of the most egotistical fudge fests I’ve ever had the misery of laying my eyes upon.
Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

In the tweet, he wrote:

Yep, that’s right. Trump literally claimed he’d been called up for Person Of The Year and refused, but then, out of nowhere Time Magazine tweeted saying it wasn’t true:
The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.

Quite quickly everyone was trolling Trump. Limmy, Andy Murray, and literally hundreds of thousands of randomers from across the globe.
So picture the atmosphere in Trump’s skull right there. He’s dealing with a fair bit, North Korea, the Middle East, a massively divided home nation, and he’s the laughing stock of the Internet.
So what does he do? Lay low and wait for it all to blow over. Absolutely not. He calls out CNN:
.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

Now, if you can cast your mind back to July when Trump retweeted a video of himself literally pummelling CNN into the ground, this is pretty light in comparison.
However, what makes it so beautiful is CNN actually responded, just a mere 33 minutes later with this bombshell:
It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world. That's yours. Our job is to report the news. #FactsFirst ?
— CNN Communications (@CNNPR) November 25, 2017
Which was followed by this:
At @CNN, we start with the #FactsFirst. pic.twitter.com/x46bUorQOr

And then this:
If President Trump knew the facts, he would never have sent that tweet. Here is my (late) camerawoman Margaret Moth, who took a bullet in the face covering the facts and truth in Bosnia. #FactsFirst ? pic.twitter.com/H4KXpM6iUB

Perhaps it’s time for Trump to spend all of his time as President solely working on presidential matters?
Considering the world is totally, totally f*cked, I’d imagine this would take up a lot of his time?
Maybe focus on your job role instead of slamming everybody who disagrees with you?
