President Donald Trump hilariously torched the legacy media "sleazebags" for their fake news downplaying the success of the Iran bombings, calling out members of the press with brutal nicknames.
In a post on Monday on his Truth Social, the president reacted to reports on CNN and other news organizations that appeared to downplay the success of the US strikes on several Iranian nuclear sites when they used language like "partially destroyed" to describe the operation.
It came after Trump's post announcing that the facilities had been obliterated.

"The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it," Trump's post read. "Only the Fake News would say anything different in order to try and demean, as much as possible — and even they say they were 'pretty well destroyed!'"
"Working especially hard on this falsehood is Allison [Anderson] Cooper of Fake News CNN, Dumb Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of 'Con'cast, Jonny [Jonathan] Karl of ABC Fake News, and always, the Losers of, again, Concast's [Comcast] NBC Fake News," the president added. "It never ends with the sleazebags in the Media, and that's why their Ratings are at an ALL TIME LOW — ZERO CREDIBILITY!"
Several people have since reacted on social media to Trump's post and his labeling of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Allison, and more.
"Trump goes off on the fake news for saying the nuclear facilities weren't completely destroyed, when they were," one person wrote, quoting what he wrote. "'It never ends with the sleaze bags in the media,' 'Allison Cooper,'" with a laughing crying emoji.

On Sunday night, President Trump made a social media post celebrating the success of the attack on Iran's nuclear ambitions and shared that the U.S. had taken out the Islamic State's key enrichment facilities.
It appeared to follow a New York Times report citing officials who believed the Fordow nuclear site, one of the targets in the American operation, was only "severely damaged, not destroyed," RedState reported.

"Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term!" the president declared.
Trump went on to note that damage levels aren't fully appreciated solely using satellite imagery.
"The white structure shown is deeply (embedded) into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame," he explained. "The biggest damage took place far below ground level."
"Bullseye!!!"
