Fox News just now figuring out Trump: "Bullying journalists is not presidential"
Trump's government shutdown fiasco that ended last week without a penny for his primitive wall seems to be taking quite a toll on president he's now lashing out at his friends at Fox a rarity indeed. Sunday night he tweeted an insult at Fox reporters John Roberts and Gillian Turner:
Never thought Id say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC! Look to final results! Dont know how my poll numbers are so good, especially up 19% with Hispanics?

And almost as rare, another Fox reporter Julie Banderas hit back at Trump in a series of tweets that defends her colleagues and criticizes the president:
@realDonaldTrump This is NOT right. I stand by my colleagues @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner They dont deserve this. No reporter does. They are doing their jobs and reporting the facts. They are not opinion journalists and deserve the respect from the @WhiteHouse they cover. https://t.co/ftRPauopjC

We can and do stand plenty of criticism every day which is fine coming from everyday viewers. Our jobs are not meant to please others. But the office of the @POTUS ought not to be the one lashing out. Thats not how this country works. Thats not how Freedom of the Press works. https://t.co/buakHRRwPO
