Phillip: “If [Trump] were to do a deal with Iran that gave them $30 billion to build a non military nuclear program, would you be ok with that?

”Trump minutes later: “Never heard of this ridiculous idea. It’s just another HOAX put out by the Fake News in order to demean. These people are SICK!!!”

“Sleaze bag” seems a little too nice of a description for these propagandists.

CNN is just making stuff up?

Color me shocked.

Making up stuff is what CNN excels at.

One poster notes that Trump’s follow-up post was directed at Abby Phillip by name.

It’s interesting to see how quickly misinformation spreads during these discussions. Transparency in media and politics is crucial for informed public discourse.

CNN tosses a fake pitch, and Trump smacks it out of the park.

He’s fact checking the fake news in real time. Tackled the judicial coup and now on to the journalism coup.

How much Trump gets done is impressive, to say the least.

Commenters express their frustration with Phillip.

Abby Phillip disappoints me every time she speaks. I know she know she peddles lies

Yep. She’s very smart and talented and yet she’s sold her soul. What a waste.

If she could just “give it a rest”, and take the cure for her TDS, she could have a successful show. The camera is kind to her and she’s an ok host. She just won’t tell the damned truth.

CNN pretends to be journalism, but they’re just drama-stirrers pushing fake narratives to divert attention.

This is correct. CNN is not in the journalism business and, for the most part, exists to push false narratives to aid the Democrat Party. Of course, that’s a lot harder to do with Trump calling them out in real-time.
