Trump Sends Disgusting Tweet Slamming CNN The Very Morning They Receive Another Explosive Device

Donald Trump slammed CNN Friday morning, and argued that the press is having it both ways by criticizing him whenever it wants, and then blasting him as un-presidential whenever he fires back.

“Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, ‘it’s just not Presidential!’” Trump tweeted early Friday morning.

Nine prominent Democrats were targeted by “potentially explosives devices” delivered to homes and offices this week.

NBC’s Pete Williams reports that a package addressed to Senator Cory Booker was flagged at a mail processing center in Florida. Like several of the suspicious packages from the last few days, it bore a false return address for Debbie Wasserman Schultz‘s office in Sunrise, FL.

Also on Friday morning, multiple reports indicate that this package was addressed to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The package was meant to be sent to CNN, which draws parallels to the incident caused by the package that was meant for former CIA chief John Brennan.

Twitter was disgusted with Trump:
