President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump retreated from his criticism of British prime minister Theresa May while standing next to her during a joint news conference -- and Twitter users buried him in scorn.
The president wrecked May's fragile position in the unfolding Brexit debacle during a harshly critical video interview with the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper The Sun, but dismissed his own recorded remarks the following day as "fake news" when asked about them by a reporter.
Trump refused to take a question from a CNN reporter, accusing the network of broadcasting "fake news," and moved on to a Fox News reporter, and also reaffirmed his criticism of May after denying those remarks.
