President Trump claimed Monday that his base is "getting stronger" despite what he calls "fake news" from major media outlets.

The comment was part of a stream of tweets from Mr. Trump during his vacation in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2017

He first tweeted about "the failing @nytimes," which he said "made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win." He claimed the Times "apologized," though there's no evidence that that happened.
