“The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong!” Trump tweeted just before 8 a.m.

“People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!”

The message came amid an early morning torrent of tweets from the president touching on topics ranging from oil production, immigration, North Korea, cable news and the Academy Awards.

“Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore — except your President (just kidding, of course)!” the president tweeted.

Oscars viewership fell to 26.5 million people, a nearly 20 percent drop from the 2017 show. Many of the actors and directors, as well as host Jimmy Kimmel, spoke out against Trump, something his supporters credit for the lower ratings.

Trump was responding to media that have painted a picture of an enraged president who is sowing chaos among his staff and upending the policy process at the White House.

That atmosphere helped lead to his announcement last week of steep tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which sent shockwaves throughout Washington and Wall Street.

The president ignored the advice of many of his own aides in making the decision and did not have any paperwork to sign because the tariffs had not yet been properly vetted.

NBC News, citing an unnamed source, said Trump had become “unglued” by the time he made the announcement.

Speculation has grown that National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, a vocal opponent of the tariffs, could leave the White House if Trump follows through on his decision.

Several events had reportedly set off the president, including the departure of White House communications director Hope Hicks Hope Charlotte HicksSenate intel leaders said Trump associates may have presented misleading testimony during Russia probe: report Cuomo turned down Trump invitation to participate in April press briefing: report Trump shakes up White House communications team MORE and a deluge of negative stories about his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner Jared Corey KushnerAbraham Accords: New hope for peace in Middle East Tenants in Kushner building file lawsuit alleging dangerous living conditions Trump hosts Israel, UAE, Bahrain for historic signing MORE.

Kushner had his security clearance downgraded, limiting his access to the nation’s most closely held secrets, as he faced renewed scrutiny over whether he used his position to help secure loans for his family business. Kushner’s attorneys have denied he acted inappropriately.

The president is also reportedly angry over developments in the Russia investigation, which were highlighted Monday by a series of bizarre television interviews by former campaign aide Sam Nunberg.

Nunberg caused a headache for Trump and sent tremors across D.C. by claiming the president knew about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between a Russian lawyer and Donald Trump Jr. Don John Trump'Tiger King' star Joe Exotic requests pardon from Trump: 'Be my hero please' Zaid Jilani discusses Trump's move to cancel racial sensitivity training at federal agencies Trump International Hotel in Vancouver closes permanently MORE and publicly threatening to tear up a subpoena request from special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE, which he later recanted.

Trump joked about the constant turnover at the White House on Saturday during the Gridiron Dinner, saying, “I like turnover, I like chaos, it really is good.”

“Now the question everyone keeps asking is, ‘Who’s going to be the next to leave? Steve Miller or Melania,'” the president joked, referring to his senior policy adviser and the first lady, respectively.

“That is terrible honey, but you love me, right?” Trump told his wife. “I wont tell you what she said. ... She said, ‘Behave.’ ... Is that terrible?”
