President Trump has called CNN "fake news," and last week he tweeted a GIF of himself slamming a symbol of the network. His fans vociferously hate the media and journalists are decrying the potential for violence. But CNN and the president weren't always at odds.

Go back even further and CNN president Jeff Zucker was head of NBC, which launched The Apprentice and made Trump the celebrity he is today.
