President Donald Trump, currently on a 17-day vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, spent his Monday morning posting a tirade against his usual target, the 24/7 fake news, criticizing the failing New York Times.

Trump also claimed his low approval ratings were fabricated, pointing to crowd sizes at his recent rallies.

But following the tirade, he made sure to note that he was working hard from New Jersey.

On Saturday, he similarly insisted that this is not a vacation meetings and calls!

On Sunday night, Trump did call the president of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, regarding North Koreas latest missile tests.

The presidents Monday morning tweet tirade further suggested speculation that his new chief of staff,John Kelly, would helprein in Trumpandhis tweeting habitswas simply wishful thinking.

Over the weekend, Bloomberg reported that Kelly has been advising Trump on tweets that might cause an international uproar or lead to unwelcome distractions, concluding that Trumps tweets have been more buttoned down in recent days.

But it also noted that it may prove difficult for Kelly to prevail on Trump to bottle up his tweets at those who defy or criticize him or to refrain from expressing his outrage at the expanding investigations into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, a subject thats given rise to some of his most explosive statements.

Trumps latest ire toward the Times followed a story published Monday detailing Trumps pervasive pattern of lying and his sheer magnitude of falsehoods and exaggerations.

Over the weekend, the paper also reported that Vice President Mike Pence is among several Republicans weighing a shadow campaign in 2020, in case Trump does not seek re-election.

Pence on Sunday responded in an unusually defensive statement pushing back on the story, calling it fake news and affirming that he was honored to be working side-by-side with a president who is making America great again.
