President Trump opened up Saturday morning with a flurry of tweets condemning multiple top-rated news outlets, including CNN.
“I am extremely pleased to see that @CNN has finally been exposed as #fakenews and garbage journalism. It’s about time!” Trump tweeted.

CNN deleted and retracted a story last week involving a Trump transition team member and their alleged ties to the Russian election meddling. The bungled report led to the resignation of three CNN reporters.
The outlet has also been a target of constant criticism from the president since he began his presidential campaign in 2015.
