Sometimes, Trump would fire back at publications during media appearances on other networks. In one instance, he stated, “It amazes me when I read The Wall Street Journal, which is always so negative,” adding, “It amazes me when I read The New York Times, it’s not even — I barely read it, you know, we don’t even distribute it in the White House anymore, the same thing with The Washington Post.”
Most of the time, however, the twice-impeached president spoke out against mainstream news networks online. He went as far as posting a photoshopped video of himself tackling the CNN logo, making his opinion about “The Most Trusted Name in News” clear (via NBC News).

He then set his sights on Karl Rove, a former Republican White House official who has a show on the network. “RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and on all the time — Has a big record of losing!” Trump wrote. “Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the ‘pervert’ purchased ads.”
The last part of Trump’s post references The Lincoln Project ads that the network runs. He appears to be taking aim at allegations against some of the founders of The Lincoln Project, a political action committee founded by Republicans in an attempt to prevent Trump from winning re-election in the 2020 race.
