President Donald Trump Wednesday claimed victory on Twitter for people who "worked with me," saying they did "very well" in their midterm election efforts while slamming the media.

"Those that worked with me in this incredible Midterm Election, embracing certain policies and principles, did very well," Trump tweeted.

"Those that did not, say goodbye! Yesterday was such a very Big Win, and all under the pressure of a Nasty and Hostile Media!

He later directly attacked the media itself, saying "any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words - FAKE NEWS!"

The tweets followed another, earlier morning message, where he called Republican wins a "big victory."

“Received so many Congratulations from so many on our Big Victory last night, including from foreign nations (friends) that were waiting me out, and hoping, on Trade Deals. Now we can all get back to work and get things done!”

The tweets follow an election that gave a split decision to Democrats and to Trump, with Democrats winning control of the House while Republicans kept control of the Senate.
