At CPAC, Trump blasts purveyors of 'fake news'
Oh the irony.
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - President Donald Trump heaped criticism on what he called purveyors of "fake news" on Friday at a gathering of conservative activists that took him back to his roots as an anti-establishment candidate.
Speaking to a large group of conservatives who packed into a hotel ballroom outside Washington, Trump sought to clarify a recent tweet in which he said some in the U.S. news media should be considered an "enemy of the people."
"I'm against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. Let their name be out there," Trump said. "Let there be no more sources."
Trump has repeatedly chosen to make criticism of the news media a central focus of his public remarks since taking office on Jan. 20 even as the courts blocked his order temporarily barring entry for people from seven Muslim-majority countries and refugees, he fired his national security adviser and he faces questions about Russian interference in the Nov. 8 U.S. election.
