Trump ramps up attacks on media: 'Crazed lunatics'

President Trump on Monday ramped up his attacks against the press, calling the media "crazed lunatics" that have "given up on the TRUTH."

Trump also said in a trio of tweets that the "Fake News" has "never been worse" and accused members of the press of intentionally making up stories to make him and his administration look bad.

"The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible. They use non-existent sources & write stories that are total fiction. Our Country is doing so well, yet this is a sad day in America!" Trump continued in a subsequent tweet.

"The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting!" he wrote.
