Trump takes shot at party members, Washington Post and NY Times

In a blunt statement on Twitter, Trump wrote, "It's very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President."

A couple of hours later the US President was back to his media bashing avatar, picking on The Washington Post and the New York Times.

Commenting on the quality of their reports, Trump said, "It's hard to read the Failing New York Times or the Amazon Washington Post because every story/opinion, even if should be positive, is bad!"

He also warned the Republican senators of a greater repercussion if they fail to repeal ObamaCare.

In a not-so-covert threat, he said, "If Republicans don't Repeal and Replace the disastrous ObamaCare, the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand!"

A few days ago Trump suffered a blow as two more Republican senators, Mike Lee and Jerry Moran, declined to back his proposed healthcare bill and the repeal of ObamaCare.

Denouncing his support, Lee's statement read: "In addition to not repealing all of the Obamacare taxes, it doesn’t go far enough in lowering premiums for middle class families; nor does it create enough free space from the most costly Obamacare regulations."

Moran said that the bill "fails to repeal the Affordable Care Act or address healthcare’s rising costs."

By protesting against the repeal, Lee and Moran joined Rand Paul and Susan Collins, both senators, who too opposed the move.

For Trump, his republican party with just 52 seats needed at least 50 votes for the bill to pass.
