Trump posts, deletes, and re-posts tweet declaring the 'FAKE NEWS media' the 'enemy of the American people'

President Trump deemed the "failing" New York Times, CNN, NBC News, and "many more" the "enemy of the American people" in a tweet late Friday afternoon. "SICK!" Trump added at the end of his impromptu outburst about "the FAKE NEWS media."

Moments later, the tweet was deleted. But before the "FAKE NEWS media" could even figure out why, a revised version of the tweet appeared — with a few more "failing" outlets added. See both missives below. Becca Stanek
