Donald Trump called reports of growing tension within his administration “fake news” on Twitter Tuesday morning, and the Internet exploded.
Don’t let the FAKE NEWS tell you that there is big infighting in the Trump Admin. We are getting along great, and getting major things done!

Trump’s claim was met with a barrage of criticism, some subtle…
@realDonaldTrump yeah, I’m sure it’s all pillowfights and s’mores behind the scenes, with Bannon braiding Kellyanne’s hair

Did all of your morning meetings get cancelled? You seem to have a lot of time to tweet this morning.
— Roland Scahill (@rolandscahill) March 7, 2017
@realDonaldTrump I’m convinced.

@realDonaldTrump You don’t seem insecure about these reports at all. You strike me as a man at the peak of his powers.

@realDonaldTrump I heard that last night you hit Steve Bannon over the back of the head with a chair and then Pence tagged himself in.

… and some not so subtle.
@realDonaldTrump This is your most unconvincing Tweet to date. Oh, and we’re back on the FAKE NEWS trail to deflect. So predictable. So SAD!

.@realDonaldTrump Of course you do! That’s why there’s no leaks coming out of your White House staff about your temper tantrums.

@realDonaldTrump every time you tweet something isn’t happening, I assume it is. Because you’re a liar and a fraud.
