Trump Calls Don Lemon of CNN Dumbest Man on Television
Trump is largely disturbed by the accurate media reports which inform about Trump-Russia ties that allegedly helped him win the presidential race last year.

President Donald Trump – who is perhaps the most notorious liar on earth – continues his tirade against the truthful media reports.
His latest target is once again the highly respected newspaper The New York Times (NYT), which has been repeatedly exposing Trump’s lies with its professional reporting. And Trump also attacked CNN anchor Don Lemon calling him the “dumbest man on television!”
Trump was particularly complaining about the NYT report that said Trump watches TV 4-8 hours everyday, indicating that Trump is almost idle and does not know how to spend his time.
Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting.

Trump responded with his oft-repeated phrase “ Fake News Media” for NYT, CNN, and MSNBC. “…a stain on America!” he said.
Very little discussion of all the purposely false and defamatory stories put out this week by the Fake News Media. They are out of control – correct reporting means nothing to them. Major lies written, then forced to be withdrawn after they are exposed…a stain on America!

After repeatedly accusing the media organization with the allegation of delivering “Fake News,” recently Trump had threatened to completely gag the press, beginning with TV networks. He said that with all of the fake news coming out TV channels, he is considering to revoke their licenses.

Although Trump often says media is dishonest, he has some very good media friends – such as Sean Hannity and fired anchor Bill O’Reilly of Fox News – who support Trump by asking him questions that he wants to answer.
Acting as Trump’s personal spokespersons, they also openly attack all Trump opponents to influence the voters dishonestly. But Trump never called them dishonest. In fact, instead of working as an objective media outfit, Fox TV works as Trump’s own video production house.
