President Donald Trump took time from his busy day on Saturday to give a shout out to a Fox News host.
After making her debut on Fox & Friends, Rachel Campos-Duffy got a special a tweet that no doubt made her day:
Great Job Rachel Campos-Duffy on @foxandfriends.

While upbeat in that tweet, Trump went for the jugular in most of his other weekend remarks.
Taking shots at Brennan and Mueller
The revocation of former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance has been dominating the headlines since Trump announced it.
As such, Trump used part of his Saturday to tell the world more about why he felt the need to yank Brennan’s clearance:
Has anyone looked at the mistakes that John Brennan made while serving as CIA Director? He will go down as easily the WORST in history & since getting out, he has become nothing less than a loudmouth, partisan, political hack who cannot be trusted with the secrets to our country!

After briefly discussing the economy, Trump went on to rip the fake news stories about him trying to block people from talking to Special Counsel Robert Mueller:
I allowed White House Counsel Don McGahn, and all other requested members of the White House Staff, to fully cooperate with the Special Counsel. In addition we readily gave over one million pages of documents. Most transparent in history. No Collusion, No Obstruction. Witch Hunt!

The truth
At no point has Trump ever said he was going to fire Mueller; in fact, quite the opposite.
Trump has turned over everything that was asked for and has even made his staff members available for interview.
That is not the story the media is pitching, though.

Trump also specifically called out a story printed by the New York Times over the weekend on Twitter.
After Trump’s attack, the New York Times sent out a tweet stating it was standing behind its reporters and their story.
