As he has in the past, Donald Trump kicked off his morning by firing off multiple tweets. In response, critics of the president made sure to respond as expected.
How could Jeff Flake, who is setting record low polling numbers in Arizona and was therefore humiliatingly forced out of his own Senate seat without even a fight (and who doesn’t have a clue), think about running for office, even a lower one, again? Let’s face it, he’s a Flake!

Trump on Twitter
It's no secret that Donald Trump has used social media to push his message and agenda for the better part of the last three years.
After engaging in a feud with the media during the early days of his presidential campaign, the former host of "The Apprentice" used Twitter as a way to bypass the press. Fast forward to present day and Trump is continuing that strategy. Some of the latest headlines involving the president include Republican Sen. Jeff Flake who is reportedly planning to rip into Trump on the Senate floor on Thursday as he sets to retire from Congress after the upcoming election. In addition, the Russian investigation has been moving forward, resulting in even more defiance from the commander in chief.
When and where will all of the many conflicts of interest be listed by the 13 Angry Democrats (plus) working on the Witch Hunt Hoax. There has never been a group of people on a case so biased or conflicted. It is all a Democrat Excuse for LOSING the Election. Where is the server?

In a pair of tweets sent out on June 7, Trump turned his attention to the Democrats and Jeff Flake.
"When and where will all of the many conflicts of interest be listed by the 13 Angry Democrats (plus) working on the Witch Hunt Hoax," Trump tweeted, before adding, "There has never been a group of people on a case so biased or conflicted." "It is all a Democrat Excuse for LOSING the Election," he wrote, before asking, "Where is the server?"
Following up with an additional tweet, Donald Trump then went after fellow Republican Jeff Flake.
"How could Jeff Flake, who is setting record low polling numbers in Arizona and was therefore humiliatingly forced out of his own Senate seat without even a fight (and who doesn’t have a clue), think about running for office, even a lower one, again?" Trump wrote. "Let’s face it, he’s a Flake!" he concluded.
Twitter reacts
Not long after Donald Trump sent out his tweets, those who oppose the president wasted no time hitting back.
"I don't see 13 angry Democrats. I see one angry, scared, panicky Republican president who can sense the walls closing in at this point," one tweet read.
Go to work you have the G7 and your meeting with a tyrant in less than a week. Don’t you have homework to do? Can you at least educate yourself so you don’t embarrass us!

"TRUMP IS so freaking DESPERATE and PATHETIC.......WHAT A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR," a Twitter user wrote. "Lots of sad men having a mid-life crisis thinking they’re somehow rebellious.
Dull," another tweet noted. "Go to work you have the G7 and your meeting with a tyrant in less than a week. Don’t you have homework to do? Can you at least educate yourself so you don’t embarrass us!" yet another tweet stated.

Just because you repeat the same narrative over and over again doesn’t make it so. You can’t gaslight America.

"Get it? I said he's a *flake*! 'Cause, like, that's his name!
Man, only a stable genius would've come up with that zinger!" a social media user wrote. "So what you are saying is you loved Melania's message about #BeBest, you've taken it to heart, and you are trying to better yourself as a human being and leader? Got it," a follow-up tweet read.
