Washington, DC [US]: US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) criticised CNN and MSNBC over their coverage of Chinese President Xi Jinping's White House visit, alleging that the networks had lost credibility and accusing them of refusing to cover Xi's arrival to avoid giving him credit.
He alleged that the two networks did not cover the arrival of Xi Jinping and his wife, Madam Peng, at the White House, despite calling it a major event.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "CNN and MSDNC's Ratings have dropped considerably. The primary reason is NO CREDIBILITY! They only write badly about a man who won the Election IN A GIANT LANDSLIDE, winning all 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, and 86% of the Counties, etc., and whose Popularity has grown because of the unprecedented SUCCESS our Country is having on both the World Stage, and at home."
