Trump falls for another fake news story, and tweets about it.

Turns out the footage of the missile test was 7 months old: http://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/us-officials-say-irans-latest-missile-launch-was-fake/news-story/b462e11ab0dbcd8b109be50d0286491b

This is not about the political nature of this particular story. But rather about why this guy who has the CIA (and other intelligence agencies) at his fingertips, who can validate the authenticity of any story for him, doesn't use the resources he has available, and keeps falling for these fake news stories? "3 million people voted illegaly for Hillary", etc.
Most people learn from their past mistakes. Especially if they have so many eyes on them. It's pretty bizzare honestly.

Tweet went out September 23. Link dated September 26.

Also, I don't see a mention of any footage in Trump's tweet.

I'd be surprised if the link was dated any earlier than 26th. The article is reporting that Trump was duped by 7 month old video footage of a launch shown on state TV on the 22nd, after it was revealed on the 25th that no such launch occurred on that date.
