Butthurt Trump Uses Ted Turner's Death to Knife CNN

President Donald Trump used the death of a friend to mock his least favorite news network.

Trump, 79, sang praises for CNN founder Ted Turner after his death was announced on Wednesday—then proceeded to flame the network for becoming “woke” while claiming to have insider knowledge of how the media mogul felt about its new ownership.

Turner, a pioneering media mogul and influential philanthropist, died at age 87 on Wednesday. Turner Enterprises said in a statement that he “died peacefully” while “surrounded by his family.”

Trump hailed Turner as “one of the Greats of All Time” in a Truth Social post that quickly took a dark turn.

And film history. He is one of the largest landowners in America and worked on further preservation of the buffalo. Trump just cheapens his legacy.
