President Donald Trump called for changes to libel laws after a Time magazine editor admitted to making up a quote and attributing it to the president.

“[Ian Bremmer] now admits that he MADE UP ‘a completely ludicrous quote,’ attributing it to me. This is what’s going on in the age of Fake News. People think they can say anything and get away with it,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Really, the libel laws should be changed to hold Fake News Media accountable!”
