President Donald Trump on Thursday took another swing at "fake news," flouting his ability to be adaptable depending on the speech he's giving and the audience he's addressing.

Trump received widespread praise for his prime-time address Monday night to outline his vision and strategy for military efforts in Afghanistan.

But then he was widely panned for his off-script speech Tuesday night at his rally in Phoenix for attacking the media, Arizona's two Republican senators, and re-legislating his remarks about Charlottesville, to name a few.

The speech prompted former director of national intelligence James Clapper to say "it's pretty damn scary" that Trump has the nuclear codes.
