Trump Tweets on Brian Ross Returning to ABC News: ‘Should Have Been Fired’

In addition to defending his mental fitness this morning, President Trump also sounded off on Brian Ross ahead of his return to ABC News.

Ross, you’ll recall, was suspended by ABC News over a serious error in a report he filed regarding Michael Flynn weeks ago. He’s returning to the network, but in a different capacity.

The President tweeted his response this morning:

Brian Ross, the reporter who made a fraudulent live newscast about me that drove the Stock Market down 350 points (billions of dollars), was suspended for a month but is now back at ABC NEWS in a lower capacity. He is no longer allowed to report on Trump. Should have been fired!

After Ross came under fire initially, Trump tweeted this:

Congratulations to @ABC News for suspending Brian Ross for his horrendously inaccurate and dishonest report on the Russia, Russia, Russia Witch Hunt. More Networks and “papers” should do the same with their Fake News!

People who lost money when the Stock Market went down 350 points based on the False and Dishonest reporting of Brian Ross of @ABC News (he has been suspended), should consider hiring a lawyer and suing ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused – many millions of dollars!
