US President Donald Trump has staked a claim on the word 'fake', suggesting that he's the first person to use the word.

Mr Trump said in an interview with US Christian channel Trinity Broadcasting: "I think one of the greatest of all terms I've come up with is 'fake'."

He admitted that other people might have used the word, but he'd never heard them.

"I guess other people have used it, perhaps, over the years, but I've never noticed it," he said.

During the interview, Mr Trump also spoke about the infamous 'towel-throwing incident', where he tossed towels at a crowd of people seeking aid in Puerto Rico.

The President said that people at the relief centre wanted "beautiful soft towels" and were "having fun", while he was throwing them out.
