President Trump took a brief break from criticizing the Democrats on Twitter on Saturday morning.

Trump turned his ire to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who called out the president Friday for urging Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Romney described Trump's actions as "wrong and appalling."

If anyone needs a refresher, it's safe to say that Trump and Romney are not the best of friends, so the president predictably didn't take the senator's words too kindly, lashing out at him the next day.
