It seems Donald Trump is quite mad about the recent leaks that have plagued his administration so he took to twitter this morning to vent some frustration:
Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
FAKE NEWS media, which makes up stories and "sources," is far more effective than the discredited Democrats - but they are fading fast!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story - RUSSIA. Fake news!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017
It didn't take long for others on Twitter to respond, here is a selection of the best tweets:

@realDonaldTrump It's not fake news when three of your advisers are forced to resign because of exposed Russian ties.

If it's all "fake news" then @realdonaldtrump should have no problem supporting an independent commission to review Russia connections https://t.co/Do6oqpF8tn

Note to @realDonaldTrump: If leaks are protected by Whistleblower Protection Act, then leakers are patriots. That's how our democracy works. https://t.co/C311cySs8K

@realDonaldTrump Our own spy agencies don't trust that u won't tell US secrets to the Russians. It's not the mediahttps://t.co/Tk3sWARJ48

@realDonaldTrump And Russia was not INVENTED by the Dems, it's been confirmed by the FBI that your aides had contact w/ Russian intelligence

So @realDonaldTrump, are you going to address the Russian spyship just sitting off our coast listening, or just pretend it isn't there?
