Trump Rages at Random California Teen on Twitter for ‘Fake News’

The president was apparently in such a tizzy over border wall negotiations he mistook a teenage soccer player for Fox News’ Gillian Turner.

President Trump, in his latest rant about “fake news,” directed his ire at a random California teenager on Twitter late Sunday. “Never thought I’d say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @JillianTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC!” Trump wrote. The “Jillian Turner” he tagged was not Gillian Turner, Fox News’ Washington correspondent, however. She appears to be a California high school student featured for her soccer skills in numerous local media reports, and she almost certainly had nothing to do with media coverage of the president’s push for border wall funding. “SO THAT HAPPENED,” she tweeted shortly after the president’s clumsy Twitter shaming, which she linked to on her feed. Trump’s tweet has since been corrected.
