lol you say "fake news" the day after Trump's press secretary comes out and hilariously lies to the American people on his first day on the job. Which is the fake news

"Fake News" was a term meant for news that was literally fake. For example I recently heard from a co-worker that Trump will begin drug testing for any government services.
The term has been co-opted by Trump to dismiss criticism.
