Pres. Donald Trump gave Atlanta-based CNN a lovely early Christmas present today: a retweet of a meme of Trump with a squashed bug on the sole of his shoe with the CNN logo on it.

The image originated on a Twitter account called "oregon4TRUMP."

Trump was complaining that the media wasn't giving him enough credit for the positive accomplishments this year.

“Thank you President TRUMP!!" oregon4TRUMP replied and he added the image, which include text superimposed on it: "WINNING."

CNN host Jake Tapper frequently responds to Trump's anti-CNN Tweets. Here was his latest:
