President Trump has long been a prolific Twitter user, but this past weekend, he tweeted with even greater frequency than usual, including more than 30 times on Sunday alone. In his fiery posts, the president attacked the news media, the late Republican Sen. John McCain, General Motors and "Saturday Night Live." Judy Woodruff talks to Yamiche Alcindor about an "angry" Trump's "misleading" claims.
