President Donald Trump has expressed his frustration with his own party saying that Republicans do very little to protect him.

In a series of tweets on Sunday evening, Mr Trump said the lack of support happens even with “some that were carried over the line on my back”.

Mr Trump has had a complicated relationship with the Republican Party, but its politicians have continued to be generally supportive of the president, even as his approval ratings slip.

The Twitter barrage came as Republicans in the Senate struggled to come together on a bill to overhaul President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was making a last-gasp effort to resuscitate the legislation after Mr Trump insisted that senators do not leave town for their August recess without passing a health bill.

Democrats did not escape Mr Trump’s twitter rantings as he turned his attention to the investigation into Russia meddling in the presidential election.

The president also took a shot at favourite targets in the news media.
