CNN and former President Donald Trump are once again at odds after his recent comments sparked intense debate across the political spectrum.
The clash began when Trump claimed that “the violence is mostly from the left” following the tragic death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. CNN anchors quickly pushed back, calling Trump’s remarks a “false narrative” not supported by available data. One anchor noted that while officials within the administration had tried to send a more unifying message, Trump chose rhetoric that fuels division instead of addressing political violence as a broader issue affecting both sides.
The segment went viral on social media, igniting reactions from both Trump’s critics and supporters. Many of his backers dismissed CNN’s reporting, with some arguing that the best way to fight misinformation is to stop engaging with what they described as “biased and corrupt media.” Others labeled CNN as “gossip disguised as news,” insisting Trump is right to call them out.
The tensions deepened during a CNN broadcast when a reporter pressed Trump on whether he might involve the U.S. in “another foreign war.” Trump fired back, calling it “fake news that nobody watches.” He went on to question whether CNN ever asks “positive questions,” while repeating his disputed claims about winning swing states and receiving “millions of extra votes” in past elections.
This is not the first time Trump has taken aim at CNN. He has repeatedly branded the network, along with MSNBC, as “fake news” and “scum,” while his supporters often echo the sentiment that mainstream outlets are unfair in their coverage of him.
The exchange highlights the ongoing battle between Trump and major news networks a dynamic that continues to shape public opinion and stir political controversy as the 2024 campaign season looms.
