Donald Trump calls CNN ‘dumb bast**ds’ in fiery attack

PRESIDENT Donald Trump called CNN "dumb bast**ds" during his campaign rally in Arizona on Monday.

Trump claimed the news network is only covering the coronavirus pandemic to try to prevent Americans from voting in the election.

"You turn on CNN that's all they cover," Trump said. "Covid, Covid pandemic, Covid."

"They're trying to talk everybody out of voting. They're not buying it, CNN, you dumb bast**rds."

As of Monday, more than 8.3million Covid cases and over 224,000 virus-related deaths have been reported in the US.

Those numbers far exceed other countries’ reported coronavirus numbers, with India coming in second with 7.5million reported cases and nearly 115,000 deaths.

Trump went on to say that "all" CNN host Chris Cuomo, who was diagnosed with coronavirus earlier this year, talks about is Covid.

"I'm not sure he had it," the president alleged. "Only time his ratings were up was when he had Covid."

Trump explained to the crowd of his supporters that he was also diagnosed with Covid – which some of his critics have also been doubtful about.

"Well I had it and they say, 'You're not gonna catch it again,' and that's OK with me."

The president claimed CNN employees "were happy when they heard" he had the deadly virus.

He said commentators said that Trump "looks better now than he did before" – adding to the crowd he wasn't sure if it was a compliment.
