The phrase became closely associated with Donald Trump during his presidency, when he repeatedly used fake news to attack reporting he disputed at press conferences and on social media. Clips of those exchanges were shared widely as memes and reaction sounds, turning a political slogan into shorthand for disbelief online. The very fake news version stands out because it adds extra emphasis, making the dismissal feel even stronger. Years later, creators still reuse it whenever a claim looks unreliable, exaggerated or simply hard to believe.
