White House X Account Attacks CNN Over Trump Health Reports

The White House’s official Rapid Response X account posted a series of messages targeting CNN anchors and reporters after the network aired reports on President Donald Trump’s health. The posts accused journalists such as Kate Bolduan, Kevin Liptak, Dana Bash and others of falling asleep on air, and labeled reporter Kevin Liptak an "idiot" while calling CNN "gutter trash".

The attacks followed medical commentary that highlighted Trump’s advanced age, daytime somnolence and chronic venous insufficiency, raising public questions about the president’s fitness for office. The White House defended the president’s work ethic and dismissed the health concerns as unfounded, using the social‑media barrage to counter the media coverage.
