“President Donald Trump lashed out at ‘scum’ who revealed his much-championed strikes against Iran were likely far less effective than he claims,” the Daily Beast reports.
Said Trump: “CNN is scum, MSDNC is scum, the New York Times is scum. They’re bad people, they’re sick.”
He added: “What they’ve done is they’ve tried to make this unbelievable victory into something less. The generals and all of the people who did a good job, they get demeaned by these idiots at CNN, who can’t get ratings. The place is dying, nobody even wants to waste their time going on any of their shows, so they form what The New York Times, which is dying also. Without Trump, you wouldn’t have a New York Times.”
