Trump rages over 'fake news media' reports that Iranian nuclear sites weren't destroyed by Midnight Hammer op: 'Sleazeba [View all]

Source: Independent

President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at press reports indicating that the audacious bombing and missile strikes he ordered against three Iranian nuclear sites hadn’t been as effective as he and his top defense officials have claimed.

In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed the target nuclear sites hit by the U.S. over the weekend “were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it” while accusing “the fake news” of trying to “demean” his administration by saying otherwise.

He singled out CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, senior ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl, and Brian Roberts, the owner of NBC News parent company Comcast, as “working especially hard” on the alleged “falsehood,” though he purposefully misstated the name of Cooper in a homophobic taunt, calling him “Allison” instead.

“It never ends with the sleazebags in the Media, and that’s why their Ratings are at an ALL TIME LOW — ZERO CREDIBILITY!” he added.
