The president often tears into the media, referring to some networks or articles as "fake news."

Last weekend, he tore into the "FAKE" media's coverage of his first 100 days in office, accusing news organizations of ignoring the "great optimism" surrounding his administration.

"Mainstream (FAKE) media refuses to state our long list of achievements, including 28 legislative signings, strong borders & great optimism!" Trump tweeted last weekend.

During a rally last week, the president said members of the media deserve a "very, very big, fat failing grade" in their first 100 days covering his administration.

On Thursday, the president also offered praise for the show "Fox & Friends."

"Congratulations to @foxandfriends on its unbelievable ratings hike," Trump tweeted.
