El Presidente Trumpo slammed the New York Times for a FAKE SOURCE that MADE UP a quote to damage him because they do that all the time!!!
The Failing @nytimes quotes “a senior White House official,” who doesn’t exist, as saying “even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on June 12 would be impossible, given the lack of time and the amount of planning needed.” WRONG AGAIN! Use real people, not phony sources.

BOOM!!!
Except there’s a problem. There exists audio of that source that Trump says doesn’t exist, and he’s saying the quote that Trump says is completely made up.

Can’t get much more conclusive than that, can you? Oh well who cares. #MAGA!!!!
Update: Of course, you can count on Nick Kristof to exaggerate as much possible:
So President Trump denied the existence of a senior White House official, Matt Pottinger, who gave a formal briefing to journalists about the Korea summit. That's the kind of thing one expects in North Korea, not in the US.
