President Donald Trump is downplaying his daughter’s refusal to label the news media the “enemy of the people.”

Trump tweeted Thursday: “They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!”

Ivanka Trump, a senior White House adviser, was asked Thursday morning at an event hosted by Axios if the press was the “enemy of the people,” a characterization used by the president. She said she has experienced reporting she does not consider accurate but said she did not agree with the description.

At the White House press briefing later Thursday, spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to distance herself from the president’s labeling of the news media as an “enemy.”
