President Donald Trump said the new name for the “Fake News" is “Corrupt News” during a rally in Mendon, Illinois, on Saturday.
Trump was reflecting on how he re-named the January 6 Select Committee the “unselect committee” before introducing the new nickname for the media.
“Unselect Committee. Do you like that name?" Trump asked the crowd.
"The unselect. I came up with that one,” Trump said.
“Of course every time I say that they say, ‘no, actually 100 years ago, somebody else came up with that term,’" he said.

"I think I came up with it," Trump said.
Trump added the “Fake News” moniker is “not strong enough” to describe the media today.
“And Fake news is another one right? That was a good one,” Trump added.
“That’s not strong enough, though."

"It’s more than fake news. It’s corrupt news," Trump argued.
Trump then said the “corrupt establishment” is attacking him because he stands up for the American people:
"Never forget everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people," he said.
"If I renounced my beliefs, which I won’t do, if I agreed to stay silent, if I stayed home if I said that a corrupt election was wonderful," he added.
"The persecution would stop immediately.
"They say good luck. Let’s go on to the next victim."
“But I can’t do that because I love our country far, far too much.
"Remember, they’re coming after me because I’m standing up for you and they’re coming after you."
"Believe me. They’re coming up for you. They’re coming after you,” he added.
Trump’s remarks came at a rally to support Rep. Mary Miller’s (R-IL) reelection efforts.
