President Trump attacked the news media Friday night on Twitter over perceived negative coverage of the House GOP's passage of legislation aimed at repealing and replacing ObamaCare.

"Wow,the Fake News media did everything in its power to make the Republican Healthcare victory look as bad as possible," Trump tweeted. He also predicted the Republican plan would be "far better" than the Affordable Care Act.

In a second tweet, Trump questioned why the news media "rarely reports" that ObamaCare "is on its last legs and that insurance companies are fleeing for their lives?"

"It's dead!" Trump declared, reiterating a longstanding position.
