TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump sent out a crude tweet attacking the hosts of ‘Morning Joe’ on Thursday [6-29-17], claiming co-host Mika Brzezinski was ‘bleeding from a face-lift’ during a recent New Year’s visit to Mar-a-Lago.
In a two-part tweet, the president said he ‘heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore).’ Then went on to hit Brzezinski: ‘how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came … to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!’
Trump’s tweets follow a similar one earlier on Thursday [6-29-17] morning from White House social media director Dan Scavino Jr., who tweeted from his personal account: ‘#DumbAsARockMika and lover #JealousJoe are lost, confused & saddened since @POTUS @realDonaldTrump stopped returning their calls! Unhinged.’
Brzezinski responded shortly after in her own tweet with a photo of a Cheerios box detailing a child and the slogan ‘Made For Little Hands’ — a seemingly pointed reference to the campaign trail during which Trump’s hand size was often targeted…
The messages on Thursday drew swift rebukes, including from Republicans.
‘Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America,’ Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tweeted.”
