There has been rumors of Trump starting the "Fake News" phrase. Is it true? According to Sean Illing, the Russians started to use the slogan in the 1900s or 2000s era. Trump was just "borrowing" the phrase to win the 2016 election. In Trump, they found a particularly useful tool, someone they could use to stoke America's internal divisions and subvert democracy (Illing). Basically, it was a win-win for both parties, Trump would become the POTUS and the Russians would gain more power in their country. It is kind of a twisted story, but a smart and well thought out plan.
