President Trump posted an unusually large number of all-caps tweets on Monday, from "REOPEN OUR COUNTRY!" and "LOSER!" (a reference to Sen. Mitt Romney [R-Utah]) to "OIL (ENERGY) IS BACK!!!!" But he spent Monday evening tweeting Fox News clips and retweeting attacks on the network and one of its hosts, Neil Cavuto. Every once in a while, Cavuto is prone to give a more-in-sorrow-than-anger lecture to Trump about truth and the problems with his falsehoods. But what irked Trump on Monday was Cavuto warning people not to follow Trump's lead on taking hydroxychloroquine.

Trump even retweeted an anti-Trump account whose point he appears to have missed.
