Is he referring to Fux Snews?

(25,247 posts)4. Trump Always Uses The Term Fake News To His Advantage....
He lies and creates fake news when he's backed himself into a corner.
And when the truth is told by the media about him - he calls it fake news.
This is one of those times.
It's being reported in the media that he is racist. That he is a white nationalist. That he incites the violence that manifests itself in these senseless killings. The truth is coming out and being told.
So what does Trump do. He turns it around and calls it fake news and blames the media.
The only common element of so-called 'fake news' is Trump himself.
He creates 'fake news' when he lies. When he's called out for his lies and his criminal activities - he calls it 'fake news'.

Text of the tweet -
You're the guy who golfed, promoted a fight and took selfies after two massacres. You invite violence at most of your rallies. Look in the mirror dude
I also included a picture comparing Trump and Charles Manson for inciting violence among their followers.
