US President Donald Trump called journalists “the most dishonest human beings on earth” and blamed them for trying to pit him against the CIA.

Speaking at the CIA headquarters, he said he has been “running a war” with the media and warned them of consequences for false reporting .

We had a massive field of people. You saw them. Packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks, and they show an empty field. I think they’re going to pay a big price.
Donald Trump

Trump said his first stop was the CIA as he wanted to dispel media lies about him having differences with the top spy agency.

“They sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community. And I just want to let you know, the reason you’re the number-one stop is exactly the opposite. They understand that, too.”
