United States President Donald Trump claimed credit for exposing "fake news" since he took over the post in November last year. In an interview with conservative activist and Turning Point USA head Charlie Kirk here on Thursday, President Trump attacked the press, and said that the media 'turned on him' after he declared his candidacy, The Hill reported. "All my life I got the greatest publicity until I ran for office. But there's a lot of fake news out there, and I'm proud that I exposed it. People really do get it. There is a lot of fake news out there. Nobody had any idea. I'm actually proud of the fact I exposed it to a large extent. It's an achievement,' he claimed.
