Trump spent his Sunday night being especially salty on Twitter
Hell hath no fury like a president with plummeting approval ratings who can't get a dime for his border wall and has no idea which person with ties to his campaign will be indicted next.
On Sunday night, President Trump went after two of his favorite targets on Twitter with a particular vengeance: Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie Bezos, announced last week that they are divorcing, and the National Enquirer has had a field day sensationalizing the story. The thrice-married president tweeted: "So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post. Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"
Trump then turned his attention to Warren, sharing a video showing the senator at home drinking a beer and adding this caption: "If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash!" In a follow-up tweet, he made fun of Warren for thanking her husband for being in the video, declaring: "It's their house, he's supposed to be there!"

He ended the night praising himself and a "dead on" assessment of conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan's "Trump portrait of an unsustainable Border Crisis," quoting that the border is "eventually going to be militarized and defended or the United States, as we have known it, is going to cease to exist. ... And Americans will not go gentle into that good night." In the same column, Buchanan stated that the "Democratic Party is hostile to white men" and "the more multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural, multilingual America becomes — the less it looks like Ronald Reagan's America — the more dependably Democratic it will become."
