President Trump used his Thanksgiving holiday to return again and again to his antipathy for the news media, which left many in the press scratching their heads over the long break.

Between Nov. 23, Thanksgiving Day, and Monday, the president fired off 26 tweets (and two retweets of other accounts) on topics ranging from pending tax legislation to the Alabama Senate race to personnel moves at the Consumer Finance Protection Agency. Of those tweets, eight were about the media, and on more than one occasion they were targeted at specific outlets and scathing in tone.
