President Trump criticized the media on Monday for being mean to his staff.

"It is amazing how rude much of the media is to my very hard working representatives. Be nice, you will do much better!" Trump tweeted.

Trump didn't say what he was responding to, but over the weekend, his press secretary was ambushed in an Apple store by a woman who accused Trump repeatedly of supporting "facism."

His counselor, Kellyanne Conway, had just spoken on several morning news shows and was forced to answer for some of Trump's controversial statements, such as his claims that President Obama tapped the phones at Trump Tower during the campaign.

The interviews were contentious at times, but some — such as Conway's appearance on Fox and Friends — were more collegial. A host on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" said Conway doesn't believe what she says about Trump, and that show has refused to book her.

Trump's aides have often been faced with a critical media eye during interviews during his administration.
