Trump seems to pointing fingers in any direction he can away from himself.
As sexual assault and misconduct allegations continue to mount against the President, Trump seems to pointing fingers in any direction he can away from himself.
"Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia--so now they are moving on to the false allegations and fabricated stories of women who I don't know and/or have never met," Trump said over Twitter. "FAKE NEWS!"
Take a look below:

FAKE NEWS!\u201d— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump) 1513080658
Trump is referring to yesterday's TODAY segment, where Megyn Kelly reinterviewed three women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct during his presidential campaign last year.

Nikki Haley, Trump's appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, came out on Face the Nation this weekend to show her support for the women accusing Trump of harassment and assault, saying: "Women who accuse anyone [of sexual misconduct] should be heard. They should be heard and they should be dealt with."
Trump is reportedly livid over Haley's remarks, according to APNews, which wrote that "Haley's comments infuriated the president, according to two people who are familiar with his views but who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. Trump has grown increasingly angry in recent days that the accusations against him have resurfaced, telling associates that the charges are false and drawing parallels to the accusations facing Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore."
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand called on Trump to resign following the numerous allegations against him. Trump responded with a crude, sexist, very on brand tweet:
\u201cLightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office \u201cbegging\u201d for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!\u201d— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump) 1513083815
Gillibrand swiftly replied with:
\u201cYou cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv\u201d— Kirsten Gillibrand (@Kirsten Gillibrand) 1513086802
