President Trump has reignited feuds with the mayor of London, the media, Democrats and his own Justice Department with a new series of tweets on Monday that begins a critical week for his administration.
Days before testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee by former FBI Director James Comey, the president for the second day in a row lashed out at London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying he had to think fast to excuse comments that people in his city need not be alarmed after Saturdays terror attack.
It was one in a series of tweets from the president, who also targeted the media for trying to give cover to Khan, saying they were working hard to sell his argument.
Even more unusually, Trump said his own Justice Department should have stuck to an original White House executive action that blocks people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States.
