The United States President, Donald Trump tagged a random user while attacking the media, and called the Facebook and The New York Times anti-Trump.
Trump tagged a user @WaPo, who has not tweeted since March 2008.
"Facebook was always anti-Trump.The Networks were always anti-Trump hence,Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?" Trump tweeted.
It seems that Trump may have wanted to tag the Washington Post's twitter handle- @washingtonpost- but ended up tagging a similar looking handle @WaPo while attacking the US media.
Trump accused Facebook and The New York Times for conspiring against him.
Terming the two anit-Trump, he said they have been doing fake news against his administration.
"..But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring" Trump said in a second tweet.
Earlier in August, Trump had branded the news media as 'fake', 'worst' and the 'most dishonest' one, ahead of his return to Washington after a 17-day working vacation.
