Donald Trump shared a news story on Tuesday that cites anonymous sources and leaked intelligence less than 24 hours after criticizing the practice.
Trump, who is at the beginning of his 17-day vacation in New Jersey, criticized the New York Times for its “non-existent sources” and berated the “Fake News Media” on Monday night.
Then, early Tuesday morning, he shared three Fox and Friends news segments, including one about North Korea that cited “US officials with knowledge of the latest intelligence” but did not identify who the officials are, and quoted an “official who requested anonymity”.
The Fox News story asserted that US spy satellites had detected North Korea moving anti-ship cruise missiles to a patrol boat.
