President Trump’s feud with “Fake News” and the mainstream media has largely fired up supporters who’ve voiced their displeasure at what they believe is an apparent bias in the news. In response to the biased coverage, President Trump has used social media to hit back at pundits and detractors, and today he “broke the internet” by retweeting a meme that further develops his rivalry with CNN.
On twitter, President Trump tweeted a meme showing a video of Trump’s stint in the WWE, showing him clotheslining Vince McMahon, but Vince McMahon’s face has been altered to show the CNN news logo. In addition, he supplied a hashtag reading “Fraud News CNN”.#FraudNewsCNN #FNN pic.twitter.com/WYUnHjjUjg

The President also released a string of tweets criticizing CNN as “Fraud News” and admitting that his use of “social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL.”
My use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!

He also went on to criticize detractors who say that he shouldn’t use his twitter account, but supporters praise his use to bypass political limitations and reach the people directly to share his thoughts, political goals and other ideas.
The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media – but remember, I won….

Though his straightforward approach is controversial because Washington is not used to it, supporters are enjoying the “Smackdown” the President is dishing out to the media, Democrats and all those who don’t want to sit at the table to discuss how to Make America Great Again.
