President Trump on Monday addressed an erroneous report with a Twitter attack on the “Failing” New York Times, as well as CNN host Don Lemon, who he proceeded to call the “dumbest man on television.”
“Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the ‘dumbest man on television!’ Bad Reporting,” Trump wrote in an early morning tweet.

Another claim alleged is that the president “sometimes ‘hate-watches’ CNN to get worked up, especially Don Lemon,” despite consistently labeling the network “fake news,” and at one time dubbing it “very fake news.”
In a tweet last year, President Trump praised former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino for going head-to-head with Lemon, whom he referred to as a “lightweight” and “dumb as a rock.”
