President Donald Trump allegedly spent most of the late week begging his staff to agree with his Twitter attack on MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. Saturday afternoon, before leaving New Jersey for a Washington, D.C. event, Trump tweeted out an attack on the media for criticizing his tweets.

“My use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!” he said.

He went on to tweet attacks at CNN and the “fake news.” CNN’s holiday weekend host announced that the network reached out to Trump and asked if the president wanted to come on to talk about these issues but they have not heard back.

However, it isn’t the media that is criticizing his tweets, it’s coming from his own party.

“It is damaging his presidency,” said Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) said in a CNN interview.

“Please just stop. This isn’t normal and it’s beneath the dignity of your office,” tweeted Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) after the Brzezinski attacks.

“Stop it! The Presidential platform should be used for more than bringing people down,” tweeted Sen. Lisa Murowski (R-AK).

But those online had mixed reactions. Many wanted Trump to stop the “insanity.” Others, however, want to see Trump continue to implode.
