Starting off Monday morning with another Twitter rampage against the news media, President Donald Trump said journalists will be “forced” to cover positive White House accomplishments “at some point.”

This tweet follows several other posts last week criticizing the media, specifically CNN, and personally attacking the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Mika Brzezinski And Joe Scarborough, for criticizing Trump on their show.

The President’s relationship with the media has been negative since the start of his run for office and has only frayed further in recent months as news outlets continue to cover the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

  2. When the White House has accomplishments, I am sure the news media will cover them. But in the meantime, Trump’s unhinged Twitter rants are sucking all of the attention away from any accomplishments that might happen, however unlikely.

  3. And, of course, it asks the question:
