After firing off a series of tweets at his favorite targets, bashing CNN, NBC and MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Donald Trump resumed his Twitter tirade Saturday, insisting his “use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL.”

And lo and behold… Twitter finally agreed. At least with the first part, they did.

“You started that tweet off with the most honest 8 words of your presidency,” wrote one user.  “Good work! Now repeat that over & over. YOU AREN’T PRESIDENTIAL”

“You have the worst account on @Twitter,” another user chimed in.

A third tweeted: “There is nothing ‘modern’ about cyberbullying.”

The president also took one more shot at his longtime imaginary nemesis, telling his 33 million followers he was “thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNews CNN.”

The president also wanted to remind everyone on this 4th of July weekend that he in fact won the 2016 presidential.

“The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media – but remember, I won….”

Also, the president took time to share his latest thoughts on changing CNN’s name from #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!”

The president seems to have had a busy Saturday morning, proving there is no bar too low.

For the third consecutive day, Trump attacked MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and “dumb as a rock” Mika Brzezinski for their “low rated show.”

Trump weighed in on MSNBC’s decision to cancel Greta Van Susteren’s show, saying the host was “let go by her out of control bosses at NBC and Comcast because she refused to go along w/ ‘Trump hate!’”

The president also leveled another attack on CNN, calling it “garbage journalism.”

Trump has been launching a broadside blast of the cable network after it retracted and apologized for a story that linked one of his aides to an executive of a Russian investment fund.

CNN fired three veteran journalists involved in the story, which the network said did not undergo standard vetting procedures.

He also reiterated his debunked voter fraud claims, writing, “Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL. What are they trying to hide?”

Trump’s comments came after 24 states refused to hand over voter data to a White House charged with investigating his false claims that millions of illegal votes cost him  popular vote in the presidential election.
