Trump snaps at 'sick degenerates' in the media for reporting on Putin negotiations delay

A day after Donald Trump used a speech at Department of Justice to call his opponents "scum" and then accuse CNN and MSNBC of "illegal" behavior," he jumped on his Truth Social platform to attack the press some more.

Reacting to reports that his envoy was kept waiting by President Vladimir Putin, the U.S. president stood up for the Russian strongman whom he has allied himself with and, once again, lashed out at a Trump staple: the "fake news."

"The Fake News, as usual, is at it again! Why can’t they be honest, just for once? Last night I read that President Vladimir Putin of Russia kept my Highly Respected Ambassador and Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, waiting for over nine hours when, in fact, there was no wait whatsoever. Other meetings with other Representatives of Russia did take place and, obviously, they took some time, but they were very productive," he wrote.

He then insisted, "From there, things went quickly and efficiently, and all signs seem to be, hopefully, very good! In conclusion, there was no nine hour wait, or any wait at all! The only reason they made up that story is to try and DEMEAN, because they are sick degenerates, that have to start reporting the News correctly. This is why they have lost their ratings, their audience, and respect. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

For good measure he signed his posting, "DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
