President Donald Trump is challenging skeptical media coverage of his historic summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. He says “Fake News” is the nation’s “biggest enemy.”
Trump wrote on Twitter on Wednesday morning (June 13) that “the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN” are “fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea.”
Trump says that “500 days ago they would have ‘begged’ for this deal — looked like war would break out.”
The president says the country’s “biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!”
Trump has been tweeting about his talks with Kim since Air Force One returned to the United States early Wednesday morning, arguing that the talks with North Korea have made the U.S. safer. Trump’s claim is dubious considering Pyongyang’s significant weapons arsenal.
So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have “begged” for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!

In previous tweets Trump encouraged Americans to “sleep well tonight!” thanks to his talks with North Korea.
Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer – sleep well tonight!

Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!
