The internet didn’t respond well to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday morning Twitter meltdown.
In the wake of the news that Trump might fire special counsel Robert Mueller, who is handling the Russian investigation, many believed Trump was attempting to deflect attention from himself.
“The Fake News Media has never been so wrong or so dirty,” Trump began. “Purposely incorrect stories and phony sources to meet their agenda of hate. Sad!”

He then pivoted to accuse former Attorney General Loretta Lynch giving improper favor to former Secretary Hillary Clinton for the FBI’s investigation.
“A.G. Lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes…gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection,” Trump tweeted. “Totally illegal!”

He then demanded an apology from everyone for being treated unfairly.
Fake News is at an all time high. Where is their apology to me for all of the incorrect stories???
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2017
Here’s the hilarious backlash he earned from the internet:
Where is your apology for trying to ban muslims, taking billions away from healthcare, destroying the environment, and betraying the USA?

So this tweet just is meant to lower the standard & say that AGs can give 'free passes and protection' that is 'totally illegal!' Got it!

And news that is true that you don't happen to like is not 'fake'. You really do express dictatorial tendencies, 45. We see through it.
