President Trump's oldest son, 39-year-old Donald Trump Jr., posted a doctored clip from the 1986 movie \"Top Gun\" to his social media accounts Saturday, in which his father is portrayed as a fighter pilot shooting down a jet emblazoned with the CNN logo. <\/p>\n
\"One of the best I've seen,\" the Trump son said, reposting the video to Twitter and Instagram from a user called @OldRowOfficial. <\/p>\n
In the fake video, Mr. Trump is seen positioning his aircraft to aim at a fighter jet labeled \"CNN.\" Mr. Trump pulls the trigger, and the target explodes mid-air. <\/p>\n
This latest post from the Trump son comes as his father continues waging a war against \"fake news,\" particularly CNN. Last week, the president shared an altered video of himself beating down a WWE wrestler with the \"CNN\" icon on his face. <\/p>\n

The eldest Trump son and his brother, Eric Trump, are running their father's vast business empire while Mr. Trump is in office. <\/p>\n
Concerns over the Trump family's involvement in his presidency continue to lurk. Initially, Ivanka Trump said she would keep a private role apart from the White House, but she has since taken an official -- albeit unpaid -- position on staff, and continues to have an active role in White House policy discussions, such as at the G-20 meeting Saturday. <\/p>\n
On Saturday, Mr. Trump said Ivanka's life would be easier if she wasn't his daughter. <\/p>\n
