It’s a great day for Donald Trump!
Forget the fact that his health care replacement is shaping up to be catastrophically worse than Obamacare, OR that the White House just claimed Syria is planning on launching another chemical attack.
POTUS is still eyeing a victory — because everyone’s favorite “fake news” outlet CNN was just forced to retract a story!
On Monday, three CNN journalists resigned after the outlet claimed Trump transition team member Anthony Scaramucci was being investigated for ties to a Russian investment fund, which turned out to be false.

Following the scandal, CNN retracted the story and issued an apology to Scaramucci — who accepted, tweeting “everyone makes mistakes.”
Of course, one individual was lapping this news up like a White Russian: President Twitter-fingers, who had a straight up FIELD DAY tweeting about the “failing!” outlet’s journalistic error.
He rejoiced:
Wow, CNN had to retract big story on “Russia,” with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!

Donny then took it a step further and retweeted a trollish meme before firing off more unsourced claims about “big management changes” looming over the network:

Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!

He also didn’t forget to group his other biggest news nemeses in with the scandal:
So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2017
Okay, relax now. You were almost chill about this for a second.
CNN responded to POTUS with its PR account to fact check Trump’s unsubstantiated claims, writing:
CNN just posted it’s most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.

Leave it to Trump’s ego to ruin his chances of finally being right about fake news.
