NBC News has again drawn the ire of President Donald Trump by alleging that, the President wanted a “tenfold” increase in US nuclear arsenal. The latest report is on the heel of a lingering feud between the news agency and President Trump over a report last week that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had referred to Trump as a “moron” and had threatened resign in July.
President Trump, however, equated NBC News to his longstanding media arch-enemy “CNN”, slamming the agency as being “Fake” and aiming at demeaning the presidency.

Frustrated with his continuous dealing with the media, the President lamented and wondered when the license of the news networks would be challenged.
He wrote in a tweet, “With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!”

He added, “Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a “tenfold” increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!”
