David Cameron, the former British Conservative Prime Minister has accused Trump of undermining democracy with his attacks on the media.
In a speech, Cameron said:
"President Trump, ‘fake news’ is not broadcasters criticising you, it’s Russian bots and trolls targeting your*democracy pumping out untrue stories day after day, night after night.
“When you misappropriate the term ‘fake news’, you are deflecting attention from real abuses. Ignoring what’s happening on social media is facilitating a form of corruption that is undermining democracy.”

Well, we've reached the stage where former leaders of America's closest allies are openly criticising Trump, saying he's undermining democracy. Congrats.
