Answer: any story or report that is critical of Trump, or which Trump otherwise disapproves of in some way.
It has nothing to do with how factual & accurate it is.
Trump's campaign against the media could end up being one of the most negative, long-lasting aspects of his Presidency.

"advocacy journalism" is fake news. The NYTimes copped to it during the election against Trump

The most common form of fake news that I see is where truth and facts are are taken out of their full and correct context and assembled into media stories that promote certain political agenda. This type of fake news satisfies confirmation bias of the viewers and can pass certain fact checks, so it can be difficult for many to spot.

"What is "fake news"?"
Anything Moon posts. Best explanation there is.
Fraudulent trollshit.
" First they came for the journalists...

Perhaps this qualifies.
The term "fake news" is stupid. As noted above, we have more precise terms to describe it. Biased reporting covers most of it. Propaganda.
What about Trump's interview with The Sun, July 13?
Donald Trump told Theresa May how to do Brexit ‘but she wrecked it’ – and says the US trade deal is off

Next day he said that was "fake news"

Trump supporters seem to think that any news that is not favorably slanted toward Donald Trump...
...is somehow suspect.
Any news that contains a negative component toward their Dear Leader...
...is fake news.
The damage Donald Trump and his followers are doing to the independent press component of a democracy...is appalling.
