In August 2018, the mainstream media reacted to a tweet President Trump made on a campaign meeting made by his son with a Russian as some sort of groundbreaking revelation that hurt the president, even though he did not reveal anything new, surprising, or contradictory about the meeting.<ref>Klein, Aaron (August 5, 2018).

In June 2019, while attending the G-20 summit in OSAKA, Japan, President Trump and [[Vladimir Putin]] briefly discussed Fake News. President Trump offered disdain for the assembled media, during a meeting between the two nation leaders. This occurred shortly after Putin had celebrated the rise of the populist right in Europe and the United States and that, in his opinion, traditional "Western-style" liberalism had "become obsolete.” Trump stated, “Fake news is a great term, isn’t it? You don’t have this problem in Russia, but we do.” However Putin insisted in English, "We also have, It’s the same." When Mr. Trump was then asked by a news ''reporter'' if he would tell Russia not to meddle in American elections, Trump responded, “Yes, of course I will.” Mr. Trump then turned to Mr. Putin and said, "Don’t meddle in the election, President." Mr. Trump then pointed at another Russian official and repeated, “Don’t meddle in the election.” <ref>Peter Baker and Michael Crowley | ''New York Times'', Trump and Putin Share Joke About Election Meddling, Sparking New Furor, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/28/us/politics/trump-putin-election.html, June 28, 2019</ref> The follow up media coverage of the light-hearted warning Mr. Trump made to Mr. Putin resulted in claiming Trump is a national security risk and that he had "triggered a fresh furor over his accommodating approach to Russia."
