CNN's chyron in a segment Monday morning was blunt. It read: "White House resorts to lies to make case for border wall." MSNBC's "Morning Joe" mocked President Trump at length for lying about (or not knowing about) key details of his "signature issue," the border wall – among other topics.

Large portions of morning news shows on Monday focused on the lies White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told on Fox News Sunday – which host Chris Wallace refuted.

In a Monday morning meltdown President Trump took to Twitter to blast the "Fake News Media" as "crazed lunatics," "the real Opposition Party," "totally dishonest," and "the Enemy of the People!"

And he claimed, "The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible."
