Trump dismisses USS Lincoln food shortage reports as 'fake news'

There is a very big ship called the USS Abraham Lincoln that carries airplanes and many sailors.

Some news reporters said the people on the ship did not have enough food and that the ship was not in good shape.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said those reports were not true.

He called them 'fake news,' which means he thinks the stories are made up.

He said the ship is 'beautifully maintained,' which means it is kept very clean and in good condition.

The president said he heard this from a retired admiral, a very important Navy leader.

The ship has been in a place called the Strait of Hormuz for more than 250 days, which is a very long time.

The president also told a reporter from CNN to 'be quiet' when she asked about the reports.

Some people believe the reports are true, while the president says they are not.
