Report: Trump 'Raged At His Staff' When He Noticed Air Force One TV Tuned To CNN
- 6 years ago
The New York Times reported that President trump was not pleased after noticing a television on Air Force One tuned to CNN.
Given his past remarks, President Trump is clearly not a fan of CNN and a New York Times report touches on that subject.
Based on an email it obtained, the Times noted Tuesday: "On the first couple's recent trip overseas, Melania Trump's television aboard Air Force One was tuned to CNN. President Trump was not pleased."
"He raged at his staff for violating a rule that the White House entourage should begin each trip tuned to Fox — his preferred network," the Times added.
CNN has been among Trump's favorite Twitter targets.
"So funny! I just checked out Fake News CNN, for the first time in a long time (they are dying in the ratings), to see if they covered my takedown yesterday of Jim Acosta (actually a nice guy). They didn't! But they did say I already lost in my meeting with Putin. Fake News," Trump tweeted on July 14.
In another tweet, Trump wrote: "Remember, it was Little Jeff Z and his people, who are told exactly what to say, who said I could not win the election in that 'there was no way to 270' (over & over again) in the Electoral College. I got 306! They were sooooo wrong in their election coverage. Still hurting!"
Back in November, Trump wrote that he was "forced to watch" CNN while in the Philippines and "again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!"
