‘I Like to Watch the Enemy’: Trump Drops Wild Attack On CNN Reporter During Cabinet Meeting

President Donald Trump on Tuesday used his cabinet meeting to launch into another attack on CNN for its reporting on the strikes in Iran.

Following the U.S. military’s strikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities in June, CNN reported that early intelligence indicated that the damage was not total. Sources also told CNN that the strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by months. The goal of the mission was to wipe out the program entirely.

Since then, there have been conflicting reports on the severity of the attacks. The Trump administration has insisted that Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed, but after a briefing with top Trump cabinet officials, multiple members of Congress walked away with the belief that the damage was indeed minimal.

As all of this went on, Trump continued going after CNN — threatening to sue both CNN and the New York Times. He primarily took aim at Natasha Bertrand, one of the reporters behind the initial story.

After praising the military for its operation in Iran, Trump once again went off on Bertrand:

We had a lot of fake reporting — mostly from CNN, where the scammer writer, a writer for CNN who should be fired, by the way. She was involved with the 51 fake intelligence agents, if you remember that. She did that story, created a story out of it. She created a story out of the “laptop from hell,” saying it came from Russia but it actually came from Hunter Biden’s bedroom or worse.

Just a scammer and she’s still at CNN — which is pretty amazing — but we’ll ask you a question about her. But they came up with this concept that maybe the attack wasn’t that good. And I saw it happen right after the attack. I saw this person on CNN. I actually watch. I like to watch the enemy. You learn from the enemy. And I watch because you have to know where they’re coming from. And I watched her say, “Anderson, you know, I’m hearing stories that maybe they didn’t hit their target, maybe it wasn’t that good a hit.” And they were hearing stories.

The next day, it was a little more; and the next day, a little more. After three or four days, she was saying, “You know, I don’t know. I don’t think it was that.” Except, by that time, everybody knew it was hit perfectly.
