“But as I look out in the audience today, I see many young, bright faces,” Trump said. “To them, and to many other young Americans watching at home, of which there are many — you see, there’s the fake news back there,” he said, pointing to news cameras.
“Look, everybody. (Laughter.) Fake news. No, actually, some of them are fine people. (Laughter.) About — let’s see, who’s back there? Yeah, about 30 percent. (Laughter.)”
Even before he won the presidency, Trump had begun dubbing an ever-growing list of establishment media outlets “fake news,” accusing them of printing patently false and inaccurate stories about him.
