Former President Donald Trump recently engaged in one of his favorite pastimes—ragging on the media. It didn't go particularly well for him, though, because CNN's Jake Tapper had a brutal response.

Trump sent out a statement delightedly attributing lower ratings for national news outlets to things being "boring" now he is no longer in office.


"CNN ratings are down 70%. MSDNC is also way down. Actually, they are ALL way down. They say the news is 'boring' since I left D.C."

Ratings really are down for most networks, according to Deadline, but Trump being out of office is likely not the only root cause.

CNN's Jake Tapper had some valuable advice for Trump.

"If I had incited and inspired a deadly insurrection and attempt to undo American democracy I might not be out there bragging about how many viewers it had. On any channel."
"But maybe that's just me, I'm a different breed of cat."

Other Twitter users reinterpreted Trump's comment as well.



Others assured Tapper their decreased news viewing was actually a good thing.





Just to get one last jab in, Tapper also pointed out his ratings hadn't suffered nearly as much as Trump insisted.

Since Trump is still banned from most social media platforms, it's unlikely we'll see a response to Tapper's tweet though.

Space Force Commander Fired Over Email Criticizing Vance's Greenland Comments

Vice President J.D. Vance and the wider Trump administration are facing criticism now that Colonel Susan Meyers was removed from her post as commander at Greenland's Pituffik Space Base after breaking with Vance in an email she wrote following his controversial visit to the island territory.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside the Faroe Islands, the only other autonomous territory within the Kingdom. Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged After Making Mind-Numbing Claim About Trump's Tariffs Reversal

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is getting called out after she attempted to justify President Donald Trump's sudden reversal on his proposed tariffs, telling reporters that his actions make sense because he has a master plan to make the world bend the knee.

Trump declared a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.
