President Donald Trump hit back at Sen. Lindsey Graham's criticism over withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria.

The South Carolina Republican had called the withdrawal plans an "Obama-like mistake" on Wednesday.

But Trump took to Twitter to blast Graham on Thursday.

The president wrote: "So hard to believe that Lindsey Graham would be against saving soldier lives & billions of $$$. Why are we fighting for our enemy, Syria, by staying & killing ISIS for them, Russia, Iran & other locals? Time to focus on our Country & bring our youth back home where they belong!"
