The president lashed out at CNN and two of its primetime hosts, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, on Twitter late Thursday.

Trump claimed a reported drop in the cable news network’s ratings was down to viewers “getting tired of so many Fake Stories and Anti-Trump lies.”

He said Cuomo’s “Cuomo Prime Time” show was “failing badly” and called “CNN Tonight” host Lemon “the dumbest man on television.”

Neither Cuomo nor Lemon has responded to Trump’s attack.

He has criticized the pair ― known to criticize the Trump administration on their shows ― on his favorite social media platform before, however.

Trump in 2018 used the same “dumbest man” insult to bash Lemon following his interview with NBA star Lebron James. It sparked a furious backlash.
