>>>The problem here is that Trump uses "fake news" to question facts, not opinion.

OK. Which "fact" is Trump questioning there? The article seems to assert a "dubious Trump attack" because they can't find some low-viewpoint footage to exaggerate crowd size that Trump attributed to CNN.

The citation itself says "the CNN video shows the camera angle at street level, but also from above looking down at the crowd" followed by an image looking down at the small crowd (with a "dozens injured" chyron). I would prefer to see the "street level" footage for myself if I'm asked to believe Trump is lying about it. However, I can't find it - which, by the logic of this citation means that factcheck.org is mounting a "dubious attack".
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
