Trump: DOJ response to document requests 'an embarrassment to our country!'

President Donald Trump derided the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday for "slow walking" requests for documents by congressional Republicans, calling it "an embarrassment to our country!"

Apparently, the president of the united states, calling our institutions "an embarrassment", isn't weakening America. How can they call themselves patriots?
