President Trump defended his son, Donald Trump Jr., Wednesday morning on Twitter, commented on the “Fake Media” and Russia, and spoke briefly about healthcare and ISIS.
“My son Donald did a good job last night. He was open, transparent and innocent. This is the greatest Witch Hunt in political history. Sad!” Trump wrote, referring to his son’s interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity Tuesday evening.

Trump Jr. told the Fox News host the meeting was “a nothing” and that he considered it “opposition research” at the time, which was before Russia hysteria took hold of Washington. He did admit though that he “probably would have done things a little differently” if he could have.
Trump then reminded his followers to be on guard when they hear the term “sources say.”
“Remember, when you hear the words "sources say" from the Fake Media, often times those sources are made up and do not exist,” he said.

Finally, he talked about ISIS and gangs.
