Trump Dismisses USS Lincoln Criticism and Snaps at CNN Reporter The President's reaction to criticism over the USS Abraham Lincoln's conditions has raised concerns about his administration's commitment to veracity.
Donald Trump dismissed reports of deteriorating living conditions on the aircraft carrier, citing third hand accounts from an anonymous admiral and unnamed "other people" that contradict extensive media coverage and first hand accounts from sailors.
This is part of a broader pattern in which the President attacks critics rather than addressing issues at hand.
