President Trump reportedly lashed out at aides after seeing first lady Melania Trump’s television broadcasting CNN on Air Force One, reports The Hill.
An internal email obtained by The New York Times said that the president caused “a bit of a stir” on the aircraft because the television was tuned into the network he continuously blasts as “fake news.”
Officials said in the email that they would turn the televisions to Fox News for future flights, according to the Times.
It is well-known that Trump’s network of choice is Fox News, and he has repeatedly praised their coverage while disparaging other networks, in particular CNN.
At a joint press conference earlier this month with UK Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump refused to take a question from CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, and moved on to Fox News’ John Roberts.
“CNN is fake news. I don’t take questions from CNN,” Trump said. “Let’s go to a real network.”
