(CNN) President Donald Trump took a post-rally victory lap Sunday morning on his favorite social media platform, Twitter, but not without also taking a dig at a favorite target, the media, and its annual dinner celebration in Washington.

"Great evening last night in Washington, Michigan," Trump tweeted. "The enthusiasm, knowledge and love in that room was unreal. To the many thousands of people who couldn't get in, I cherish you....and will be back!"

"While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D.C., just didn't work," wrote Trump, who continued his break with tradition in not attending the media confab. "Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust...the so-called comedian really "bombed."

Trump's continued counterprogramming move comes just hours after he touched down in Washington, DC, following a campaign rally in Washington Township, Michigan, Saturday night, where he gave a characteristically freewheeling speech that harped on familiar themes, such as the need to fund his proposed border wall and defense spending, and slammed familiar targets , including Democrats such as Sens. Jon Tester of Montana and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, who are running for re-election this year.

Trump went after Tester for raising concerns about the President's former nominee for secretary of veterans affairs, White House physician Ronny Jackson, who withdrew his nomination last week after a series of allegations surfaced, including that he loosely handled prescription drugs and was periodically intoxicated. Jackson has denied the allegations.
