Donald Trump can't stop getting dunked on by news organizations.

On Saturday, Donald Trump took to Twitter for one of his favorite activities: attacking CNN (now in 280 characters!).

In the tweet, the president once again decries CNN as fake news, this time arguing that CNN International "represents our Nation to the world very poorly."

CNN Communications, though, was like "you tryna read, sis?!" and clapped all the way back, pointing out that *cough cough* it's Donald Trump's job to represent the U.S. to the world, not theirs.

CNN Communications closed their response tweet with an apple emoji, a reference to CNN's latest ad campaign about fake news and facts.

If Donald Trump thought CNN's burn would pass by quietly, we have some sad news from him: the internet definitely took note.

CNN's clapback comes just one day after Trump claimed that he turned down Time Magazine's Person of the Year honor on Friday.

The internet collectively called BS, sharing out a wave of tweets parodying Trump's. Time ultimately denied the allegations.

So much for a quiet Thanksgiving weekend.
