While Trump did not coin the term "Fake News," his frequent use on social media and public statements contributed to its mainstream usage and cultural significance. By labeling unfavorable news coverage as "Fake News," Trump sought to undermine the credibility of the media and deflect criticism, framing negative stories as partisan attacks or attempts to delegitimize his presidency.

It is now commonly used to describe a broader phenomenon of false or misleading information spread across various platforms and by various actors.
