CNN mocks Trump for tweeting about CNN interview: Sounds like Melania had the remote

CNN on Saturday mocked President Trump for tweeting about an interview on the network despite his repeated attacks on it for being “fake news.”

In a late-night tweet Friday, Trump targeted NBA star LeBron James and called CNN host Don Lemon “the dumbest man on television” after James told Lemon in an interview that Trump is using sports to “divide” Americans.

The network’s communications team responded to Trump’s tweet, suggesting that if Trump was watching CNN, it must have been because first lady Melania Trump was choosing the channel.

The interview was first aired last Monday, but was shown on the network again Friday, shortly before Trump’s tweet. The president is known to have particular ire for CNN and repeatedly attacks the network and its reporters as “Fake News.”
