Trump Wants CNN Reporter He Spent Days Watching Fired 'Like a Dog'

Donald Trump has unleashed a nasty attack on a CNN journalist who broke news of an intelligence leak about the Iran strikes, demanding that she be “thrown out like a dog”.

In his latest tirade since the leak made headlines, the president also revealed he has been watching the reporter, Natasha Bertrand, on CNN for days-even as he traversed the globe for the NATO summit in the Netherlands.

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out “like a dog,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

The meltdown was the latest salvo Trump has launched towards the media, ever since it began questioning whether US strikes on Iran’s three major nuclear enrichment facilities had been “obliterated,” as he has repeatedly claimed.

In another post, Trump wrote: “She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN. It’s people like her who destroyed the reputation of a once great Network. Her slant was so obviously negative, besides, she doesn’t have what it takes to be an on camera correspondent, not even close. FIRE NATASHA!”

I can think of someone else who is more deserving to be "thrown out like a dog" -- whatever that means...

He's never had a pet. If he had had a dog, he would understand unconditional love.

Perhaps that partly explains his inhumanity.

Regardless, Trump is a malicious idiot. He's quite pathetic.

That ONCE great Network used to actually do legitimate journalism and was called the Liberal media. Back when Uncle Ted owned it for sure. Is Trump saying we need to go back to those days? For once I agree with him.

Just for reporting on a story that her bosses probably told her to cover.

His tantrums are so tiresome.

It tends to use belittling insults for men, but I noticed that he always dehumanizes women. Fucker.
