Trump Tweets: White House 'Is-a-Dump' Stories 'Fake News'

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he never made the comment that the White House "is a real dump," calling reports that quoted him earlier in the week "fake news."

Golf magazine posted a story online Tuesday saying that Trump made the comment to visitors at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The story said the president explained his frequent visits to his resorts since becoming president were because, "That White House is a real dump."

Sports Illustrated, which also reported the comment, said the White House has had a rat problem, but added that it was "still the White House."

Trump fired back in a Twitter post:

I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen. But Fake News said I called it a dump - TOTALLY UNTRUE

Keeping the White House up to par is a big job. According to Scholiastic.com, the White House has 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms on six levels and more than 6,000 visitors daily.

Some gave Trump a pass on the alleged comment, others still fumed on social media.

These dinosaurs in the media see their relevance slipping away. The more they lie, the quicker we can rid ourselves of them. #FakeNews #MAGA

Now Sports Illustrated is Fake News, too. Is no publication spared from the wrath of our leader? Next it will be Highlights magazine. pic.twitter.com/fFLKBca5uU
