President Donald Trump on Monday morning continued his attempts to delegitimize the media by claiming that any “negative” poll must be “fake news.”

It’s unclear what poll set Trump off early Monday morning. He may have been reacting to a CNN/ORC poll released Friday. The poll found that 53 percent of Americans oppose Trump’s order suspending the refugee program and barring people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from coming to the U.S.

  1. Fake president.

  2. I am tired of all the negative vibes. Does our “so called” President have anything positive to tweet about America and Americans?

  3. It’s time for Sane America to sit Red America down and have The Talk. Time to gently, sympathetically tell them their President lives in a fantasy world and needs help, and being President isn’t making things any better.

  4. Whiny baby at the top complains 'cause the other kids don’t like him.

    I wish THIS was fake news, but unfortunately, it’s all too real.
