US President Donald Trump is a man that "calls his own shots" and he has once again hit out at the validity of new media reports.
This time it was mainstream polls that showed his controversial executive order and travel ban on seven majority Muslim countries was unpopular.
"Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting," Trump tweeted.
"I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it. Some FAKE NEWS media, in order to marginalize, lies!"
A CNN/ORC poll released on Sunday found that 53 per cent of American respondents opposed Mr Trump's Muslim travel ban.
