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.
