BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 11/15/17 09:05 AM EST
CNN White House reporter hit back at President Trump on Wednesday after Trump ripped the cable network in an early morning tweet, saying he was forced to watch the "loser" network during his stay in the Philippines.

The president's last stop was in the Philippines, where he repeatedly praised President Rodrigo Duterte, who is the subject of criticism from human rights groups for his controversial war on drugs, which has left thousands of Filipinos dead.
Weve had a great relationship, Trump said of Duterte during a meeting in the country's capital of Manila.

he would have tweeted correctly about the California shooting. t-rump wants to be a dictator like his friends.

He can't even remember what happened today. He is a news junky and watches fox continuously. There is no way he didn't know it was california - if he were coherant.
Face it. Trump isn't losing it, it's already lost. He is no longer in control of his faculties. He is incapable of executing the duties of his office.
