Following Trump's inaugural speech, social media users have noticed that one part of the US President's inauguration speech sounded quite familiar.

"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you – the people." Bane

The feud between CNN and U.S. president Donald Trump continues. Right from accusing CNN of using his worst picture as a book cover to calling CNN 'fake news', Trump is far from burying the hatchet. During his first press conference, Trump got into a back-and-forth with the CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta. While the correspondent tried to ask some questions to the newly elected President, Trump responded saying, "Your organization is terrible. You are fake news!"
