President Donald Trump is again taking aim at “fake news.” This time, he is upset with the coverage of Russia.
Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!

In an unusual move, a duplicate of the tweet was also published from the @POTUS account. Most of the tweets published on that account are straightforward statements. His personal commentary tends to remain at the @realDonaldTrump account.

This tweet comes after a couple of tweets this morning on the newly-elected Democratic National Committee chair and, of course, the “failing” New York Times.
The race for DNC Chairman was, of course, totally "rigged." Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!

For first time the failing @nytimes will take an ad (a bad one) to help save its failing reputation. Try reporting accurately & fairly!

We will see if the president decides to return to Twitter during the remainder of the day.
