While President Donald Trump railed against the “fake news” media during his Thursday rally in Montana, claiming they invent their anonymous sources and fabricate quotes, a reporter from his favorite network revealed the president himself was an unidentified source for years.

Fox Business’ Charles Gasparino called out Trump in a tweet that evening for his “complaining” over the issue, making clear that the president had been one of those mystery sources for a long time.

Gasparino followed up the candid tweet with another calling Trump’s anonymous source talk “complete BS.”

During his speech in Great Falls to support GOP Senate hopeful Matt Rosendale, Trump launched a verbal assault on media credibility, accusing reporters of making up their scoops.

“They quote sources. ‘A source within the Trump organization said.’ A source. They don’t have a source,” he said. “They never use names anymore. The old days, you have to use names. ‘Jim Smith said that Donald Trump is a bad guy.’ They don’t do that anymore. They say ‘a source within the administration.’ They make the sources up. They don’t exist in many cases. I saw one of them said 15 anonymous sources. I don’t have 15 people — forget it. 15 anonymous sources have said all source of stuff. These are really bad people.”

1. Just wait Fox News... He's going to turn on you also...

...someone on your "network" will say something that sets him off, and POOF! you'll be fake news too!

6. Wingnut heads will explode

They won't know whether to believe their propaganda channel or their Precious. Some ass had faux on while hear at the gym earlier. I couldn't hear it, and the closed captioning was so garbled I couldn't tell what drivel they were vomiting. Fine with me,

5. What a shame that you're OK with 45 Gasparino.

I hope whatever he fed you got tossed in the BS file.

7. "I don't have 15 people"

He has no idea who all those people are that he sees on those rare occasions he makes an appearance at the West Wing. It's just a bunch of randos in suits hanging out there he doesn't recognize. They're not Ivanka, Uday, and Qusay. His people.

8. "I'm ok w POTUS personally . . ."

Sure, he's slagging the Constitution, my profession, and me personally, it's "complete BS" and Trump knows it's complete BS, but Gasparino isn't going to go so far as to, you know, criticize Trump. A man's got to know his limitations.
