Trump also referred to Wilson as "wacky" in a tweet on Saturday. He said he hopes the "Fake News Media" keeps talking abut Wilson, whom he claimed is "killing the Democratic Party."

Trump's comments come after Wilson last week described a phone call between Trump and the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in Niger.

Wilson said she was in the car with the fallen soldier's family when Trump called. She said Trump told the soldier's widow that he "knew what he signed up for...but when it happens it hurts anyway."

UPDATE

Trump: Fake news claims 'finally sinking in'

BY BRANDON CARTER - 10/22/17 08:32 AM EDT

President Trump early Sunday said media organizations have “lost cred,” pointing to a recent poll that found almost half of voters think the media make up stories about him.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll released last week found that 46 percent of voters think the media fabricate reports about Trump and his administration.

Just 37 percent of voters disagree and another 17 percent are undecided.

Seventy-six percent of Republicans think the media fabricate stories about Trump, while just 20 percent of Democrats agree and 65 percent of Democrats disagree.

1. Did his Chief of Staff tell him to say that too?

2. It's the mirror universe all over again

Typical republican projection. What he says is exactly what he's doing. He's further killing the republican party, he's wacky, and he's an utter disaster.

3. His saying that is proof that she has really gotten under his skin, and he is afraid of what

she is saying.

I think I'm catching on to the psychology here. Which is terrifying.

4. Because the content of the title is exactly in reverse to reality

I had to keep reading it until I could understand what was being said. Trump is the real gift from the GOP to the Dems!

5. Ummmmmm, that's way t-rump approval ratings is going down?

These two things do not add up. Disapproval going up but his claim about "fake news" going up? Nope. He needs at least 80% or so from repigs . . .

6. Feefling the heat fatass ?

What will we find out soon.

7. Trump, the grift that keeps on grifting. (EOM)
