"The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!" he wrote.
That tweet followed up a previous tweet that he deleted, in which he made a nearly identical attack.
"The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @CNN, @NBCNews and many more) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American people," he wrote. "SICK!"
Trump posted his fix to the original tweet 16 minutes later, replacing "SICK!" with the names of two additional news outlets, ABC and CBS.
The president's attack on the media came one day after a wide-ranging press conference from the White House, during which he lambasted news outlets and attempted to discredit a wide range of negative reporting on his administration as "fake news" and "very fake news."
