President Donald Trump brought up removing White House press credentials from “Fake News” media after a report showed evening news coverage of his presidency on network television has been overwhelmingly negative. All while his approval rating has been improving.

“The Fake News is working overtime,” Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday, May 9, morning. “Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?”
