President Trump slammed the media on Saturday over critical coverage of his response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
"Fake News CNN and NBC are going out of their way to disparage our great First Responders as a way to 'get Trump,'" the president  tweeted. "Not fair to FR or effort!" 
"The Fake News Networks are working overtime in Puerto Rico doing their best to take the spirit away from our soldiers and first R's. Shame!" Trump said in another tweet.
The president on Saturday also lashed out at San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz who has publicly criticized the Trump administration for its inadequate efforts.
