President Trump targeted some unnamed members of his party in a tweet on Sunday, saying that "sad" Republicans who benefitted from his electoral coattails in the 2016 election now won't "protect" him.

"It's very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President," Trump tweeted.

It's not clear what issue Trump wants to be protected on, although his presidency has been challenged both by a failure to pass a promised ObamaCare repeal and the continuing investigations into potential ties between his campaign and the Russian government.

I can't really think of many people in this category. Maybe Rob Johnson, though he ran ahead of Trump

He's thinking about Portman and putting pressure on Capito ahead of his visit tomorrow.

Perhaps, though Portman (with a 21% victory) wasn't exactly carried across the finish by Trump (though Trump likely thinks otherwise).

And Capito didn't even run in '16
I'm not going to pretend to know what Trump's thinking, but I think Burr and Johnson are closest fits

Yes, aware when she's up.

I think he's sending a message to Tcare holdouts & reminding them of his popularity in their states like WV.

6. Why does he need protection? Weak man. Sad.

[SergeStorms]

32. Now we know.....

who Donnie Jr. gets it from. He's the biggest baby......hold on......the SECOND BIGGEST BABY, in the United States. Maybe the third, Eric hasn't been heard from in awhile. Ivanka has bigger balls than both of her brothers, and probably bigger than Daddy's too. What a gutless, wormy family. They have no problem starting shit, but run the other way when it's time to put up, or shut up. Then they want other people to fight their battles for them. Daddy, with his army of lawyers (and everyone else who's around), and the little boys with Daddy's lawyers, plus their own.

WORMS!

[Turbineguy]

7. Ask Putin to pay them

they'll fall in line.

[WePurrsevere]

8. Ugh! It's not their job to protect you, you whine-ass...

They don't work for YOU, they work for their constituents.

Damn but TanTrump whines a lot. I have 5 granddaughters, 3 of which are entering puberty and one is a toddler, combined they whine and complain a whole lot less than he does. Good grief.

[lsewpershad]

9. What coat tails?

All I see is a big " hynie".

[oxbow]

10. Either paranoia or something we don't know about...

..something he needs "protection" from. I'm hearing this has to do with the Russian sanctions from congress...has there been any confirmation?

[truthisfreedom]

11. Endless bitching alternating with total bullshit and threats. This guy is nobody's friend.

Who would even want to get near him? They're all just waiting for him to tear a little hole in his Macy's parade balloon existence and come drifting down onto everyone as a giant horrifying hazard that leaves people screaming in terror.

[Leghorn21]

26. Freedom, you have completely summed up the essence of LOSER 45 right here:

"This guy is nobody's friend." PERIOD

Thanks for this perfect (sad! but perfect) description -

[C_U_L8R]

12. Whining is not Presidential

Ugh.

[RandomAccess]

33. Oh, but if the President does it --

that makes it Presidential.

Can't remember whose line that was -- Kellyanne or Spicer??

[NCjack]

13. If only he had been in the military, he would know how unmanly it is to whine. nt

[Honeycombe8]

14. What's he talking about? He wants them to be more vocal about the "witch hunt"? nt

[Solly Mack]

15. If he is so innocent why does he need their protection? Mister "I alone" needs protection?

to protect their President," Trump tweeted.

Their president. He could have said the president but he said their president.

that were carried over the line on my back

He has to make threats. He simply can't stop himself. You owe me. No do as I want or.....

[Thrill]

16. Protect him from what? I thought he didn't do anything

[LuckyLib]

17. Donald, they have been covering your ass for months. The real question concerns

the resounding silence from Republicans everywhere. Not one damned spine among them. Cowering in the corner, afraid to be associated with your nuttiness, looking left and right to see what everyone else is doing. Cowards, one and all!

[rock]

18. Job, party, god, county

The republicans priorities. And by job, I mean getting reelected and I'm not even sure country is on the list!

[Ccarmona]

19. He Has No Clue What

Separation of Powers actually means.
Sad!!

[jpak]

20. Ask Little Marco, or Lyin' Ted , or Low Energy Bush or any other GOP candidate

that you insulted to support you asshole.

Karma is Beeyotch.

yup

[William Seger]

21. He's certainly not protecting the people who carried HIM over the line

... except Flynn and Putin.

[keithbvadu2]

22. "Protect" instead of 'support'. - There is a difference.

[Still In Wisconsin]

30. Oh, he used exactly the right word.

Protection is exactly what he wants.

[Pluvious]

24. Don't miss Rosie's reply...

(Wonder if she'll earn a coveted banning lol)

[paleotn]

25. not smart...

Insulting Congress critters....some with egos every big as his. I don't think Congressional Rethugs will take this too kindly.

[RKP5637]

28. Smart republicans are going to try to save their ass, not follow tRump over the cliff ahead. n/t

[Quanta]

29. If ya didn't do anything wrong there would be nothing to be protected from! n/t

[SummerSnow]

31. he wants protection not support

Protect-keep safe from harm or injury.

Support-bear all or part of the weight.

* he wants protection not support

[Shell_Seas]

34. What ever happened to these people working for the American people?

Who will protect us?

[Sunlei]

35. Mr.Trump, the Republican party has always used you! THEY did the dossier on your russian adventures

You're a patsy, you'll never be in their inner loop. Get used to it. You'll be under the Russian collusion bus before any of them are caught, if you don't throw them under that bus first!

Here Donald Trump, this is FOR YOU!
