Trump is so mad people in the UK can watch CNN he's calling for a boycott of AT&T
He doesn't like that CNN is the primary source of American news in the UK.

President Donald Trump kicked off his visit to the United Kingdom Monday with several angry and bitter tweets. After smearing London Mayor Sadiq Khan as a “stone cold loser” before his plane even landed, Trump then complained that CNN is the primary source of American news in the UK and suggested people boycott parent company AT&T because he doesn’t like the network’s coverage.
“I believe that if people stoped [sic] using or subscribing to @ATT,” he wrote, “they would be forced to make big changes at @CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway. It is so unfair with such bad, Fake News!”
Whatever Trump may believe about CNN’s rankings, the network itself doesn’t seem concerned. In a press release last week, CNN boasted that it had higher viewership in May than MSNBC and consistently high viewership compared to past years.
Trump had also vowed during his campaign to block a merger between AT&T and Time Warner Media. The Justice Department twice objected to the acquisition, but a federal judge ruled in AT&T’s favor. House Democrats are currently investigating whether Trump abused his power by objecting to the merger for political purposes. As in the other House investigations, the White House is refusing to turn over related documents.

Fox News, which has more American viewers than CNN, is not available in the UK. Fox aired there for 15 years, but in 2017, Rupert Murdoch’s Sky media company took it off the air reportedly because so few people were watching it that it wasn’t making money.
Because the Brits and everyone else over there know that FOX NEWS is fake....................
