Trump Melts Down Live at CNN for Revealing War Fiasco

President Donald Trump lashed out at his most hated news network on Sunday over its coverage of his peace deal with Iran.

Trump, 79, typed up a complaint about “Fake News CNN” on Truth Social Sunday night amid his administration’s ongoing negotiations with Iran to end the war he started over 13 weeks ago.

“Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon,” the near-octogenarian wrote. “It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about.

“CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster,” he added. “Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!!”

Hasn't changed their contempt. Or Trump's dementia has him in the late 1990s.

the 2015 agreement explicitly states that "under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons."

It’s how he’s operated his whole life.

When this is all said and done, it will 100% be the previous agreement with less teeth and more concessions to the Iranian gov/people.

whenever that fat orange sloppy pustule belches out "fake news, fake news" that a journalist would scream back at him, "you're a fake president you spoiled rotten brat!"

He has no idea what was in the Obama deal that he canceled. How much oversight there was. How much monitoring and handing over of material. How complicated it all was. How there were snap back provisions should Iran start playing games. How Iran had to give inspectors access to everything.

He thinks he's going to replace with a paragraph that just says, "Iran super duper promises to not enrich Uranium to weapons grade, scouts honor, for reals."

He'll never get a deal like Obama got for the world because it's hard to do and Iran can't trust him to follow through on his end anyways.

trust us again if some reality TV star could just come along and shred any treaty from a former president. It certainly isn't all Trump's fault as it took 77 million voters to put him in office. What does that tell the rest of the world about us?

They forgave us for Bush, probably figuring most countries make mistakes now and then, but Trump is a bridge too far. Why would they give us the benefit of the doubt in the future?

He has shown over and over that he is willing to break any deal. No matter what is agreed to on paper means nothing if Trump can ignore it anytime he wants.
