Trump says he’s “ordering” CNN to retract their reporting and “authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed.” Dude thinks he’s a dictator.

1. He still thinks we believe he is king. Time to lock him up in the Padded Room Inn.

3. Treat him just like they treated his dad on his way out.

Put Trump in a room where he can't hurt anyone. Give him a stack of papers, a toy phone, and a juice box, and let him pretend he's presidentin'...

They could even make AI videos of people cheering and edit them to look like Fox "News" broadcasts showing how much America loves him.

Just make sure he doesn't leave the room for any reason. Make sure it has an adjoining bathroom so he can poop and then get back to being King.

4. Can we make the room a Faraday cage, in case someone smuggles him a phone?

2. The fact TSF owns several fake news sites in Nigeria should not be ignored.

5. He's pissed off that 'prince' never paid him

6. CNN Defends Authenticity Of Iranian "Victory" Statement After Donald Trump Posts Irate Claim It Was A "Fraud"

A White House account posted a screenshot of the story in question, with the headline, “Iran claims victory, says it forced US to accept 10-point plan.” In the story, CNN reported that the Iranian Security Council statement read, “The enemy, in its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation, has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat.” CNN published a report on the statement as part of an ongoing series of updates on the war.

Trump posted a different statement, from Iran’s minister of foreign affairs, that was more measured in tone. “If attacks against Iran are halted, our Powerful Armed Forces will cease their defensive operations,” it read. CNN is defending its reporting on the statement. A spokesperson said, “The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us.”

On CNN, senior international correspondent Matthew Chance addressed Trump’s claim that the statement was fake. Chance told Anderson Cooper that the statement had appeared on Iranian state news agencies, and was different, lengthier and “more aggressive” than the one from the minister of foreign affairs.

Chance said, “When President Trump posted on Truth Social that he objected to that report, to that document, he said it was fake. I followed up with the Iranian foreign ministry and said, ‘Look, do you have this document that you can send to me?’ And they sent me the document themselves, which is exactly the same as the document we originally had. And so I think we’re pretty confident, very confident that this document is authentic.” Chance also ran through some of Iran’s 10-point demands in the statement, including the lifting of all sanctions. Other outlets, including The New York Times and PBS, reported on a statement similar to the one that CNN did.
