President Trump unloaded on CNN hosts Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo and CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert in a Monday night interview with Time magazine.
Trump started his diatribe by noting that he no longer watches CNN or MSNBC, instead tuning into Fox News because it is the "most accurate."
"I do watch Fox in the morning, and their ratings have gone through the roof because everyone knows I'm watching Fox," Trump said. "But they're pleasant. And if I do something wrong they report on it. I don't mean they–if I do something wrong. But it's really, honestly it's the most accurate."
Trump called out two CNN anchors specifically. The first was "New Day" co-host Chris Cuomo.
"CNN in the morning, Chris Cuomo, he's sitting there like a chained lunatic. He's like a boiler ready to explode, the level of hatred," Trump said.
Trump then unleashed on CNN host Don Lemon.
"This Don Lemon who's perhaps the dumbest person in broadcasting, Don Lemon at night it's like–sometimes they'll have a guest who by mistake will say something good," Trump said. "And they'll start screaming, we're going to commercial. They cut him off."
Trump also commented on Trump supporter and CNN commentator Jeffery Lord, saying he gets constantly attacked on the network.
"And poor Jeffrey Lord. I love Jeffrey Lord. But sometimes he's sitting there with eight unknown killers that nobody ever heard of. And CNN actually is not doing nearly as well as others," Trump said.
Trump then brought up late-night host Stephen Colbert, who was recently criticized for a crude joke he made about the president. Trump referenced Colbert's joke and then continued to brag about the ratings he had when he appeared on Colbert's show.
"You see a no-talent guy like Colbert. There's nothing funny about what he says. And what he says is filthy. And you have kids watching. And it only builds up my base. It only helps me, people like him. The guy was dying. By the way they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better. But his show was dying. I've done his show. … But when I did his show, which by the way was very highly rated. It was high–highest rating. The highest rating he's ever had."
No lies.
Careful Mr. President, Don Lemmon can conjure up a black hole and make Air Force One disappear.
So refreshing !!
CNN - The Hate Shows
Donald, you magnificent bastard!
President Trump says what he tinks...No “politispeak” about him...
Refreshing as it can be....
Chris Matthews? Wolf Blitzer?
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, et al are all reinforcing why Trump won. They are all too dumb and disconnected to know that they are going to help Donald J. Trump win a second Presidential term. Unfortunately, they are so bad that they have sacrificed all journalistic integrity and have torpedoed their own credibility so nobody knows what to believe anymore from their talking heads.
tinks=thinks...as you probably surmised...:^)
Yeah...”perhaps” did leave room for others...Such as those you mentioned....
Wish he didn’t say “Fox”, that just feeds the dem trolls, and fox is just as krappy as all the other news channels, there is nothing remotely conservative about it
CNN would be better if they replaced Don Lemon with Don Cherry.
Trump should begin exposing the globalist corporate puppet masters behind the MSM talking heads they have unleashed against him......keep bringing up the globalist elitist banker’s agenda to subvert the United States.....
It probably varies from day to day which one has sunken lowest in the abyss of idiocy that is Big Media.
“This Don Lemon who’s perhaps the dumbest person in broadcasting”
He seems to be selling short: Lester Holt, Scott Pelley, Anderson Cooper, and several other Detestables.
DJT at his best. It’s time he loses the Manhattan clique and goes full American nationalist. This is going to be a war and we Deplorables are all in. Return to Red America Mr President; a few rallies a month is what we all need.
