"She was bleeding badly from a face-lift": Trump explodes after MSNBC's Mika calls him crazy

‘She was bleeding badly from a face-lift’: Trump explodes after MSNBC’s Mika calls him crazy



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/she-was-bleeding-badly-from-a-face-lift-trump-spews-ugly-insults-after-msnbcs-mika-calls-him-crazy/

President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski by claiming that the MSNBC morning show personality was “bleeding badly” after getting a face lift when she visited him late last year.

In a Thursday morning tweet, the president attacked both Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough for speaking “badly of me” on their show. He then went on to recall what happened when the two came to visit him at Mar-a-Lago for a party at New Year’s Eve last year.

“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,” Trump wrote. “She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”

In MSNBC host fired back at the president with a tweet that subtly mocked the size of Trump’s hands.

Large, ugly times.


Disclaimer: I never fat-shame, at least not when it comes to actual human beings. Trump has so often revealed himself as a vile predator with a grossly over-inflated sense of his own beauty--while he himself fat-shames literal beauty queens--that I feel no compunction in mock him with the same tactic.

Further, he clearly has no shame, so it might actually be impossible to anything-shame him.

The bleeding thing, yeah. I do believe he went for a two-for-one and threw a little shade back at Megyn Kelly.

In his world they are supposed to be silent, subservient, obedient, there for his amusement and objectification, and that's it.

Still do not understand the whole "Women for Trump" crowd.

Trump is a pig!

But this was strategic. Mika and Joe have been more and more critical of him. After this disgusting attack though, Trump can say, "they just hate me because of my tweet and can't be unbiased."

And you'll also get Joe and Mika now going out of their way to not appear biased against him since they have a huge reason to now.

Our president is a deranged piece of garbage.

...does he have to say it?

All of women's natural bodily functions -- remember the young lawyer taking his deposition? She planned ahead for a nursing break. He didn't want to let her leave -- she finally had to tell the people in the room *why* -- and he said publicly and often that "she was disgusting!"

Breaks were planned at the debates, and the women's restroom was miles away from the stage, while the men's was practically around the corner. Hillary was belated: I remember the comments from the moderators then, the mockery here -- and later on, Tinyhands Trump sneering that she was "disgusting."

How many times does he have to say it?

The continuing references to women bleeding are an unsubtle reference to menstruation, which some men are disgusted by, and afraid of. They can't admit the fear, so they go with the disgust. Sigmund Freud would have loved a peek inside Tinyhands' head. This one's a classic. Being challenged by a woman in ANY way will being out the blood-taunts. The sneers. The disgust.

I cannot imagine anyone that would think this was OK for a President to do. But know this, there are millions of people that voted for him that thinks tweeting this disgusting drivel at a lady is a sign of a good strong leader.

This is truly like watching Pro Wrestling for them.

...a character named "Ruff Tuff Creampuff."

He was a muscle-bound creature that looked like a cross between a man and a moose, walked around naked (which is why I didn't post any pics here), and he carried a tiny little horn that he tooted everywhere. He was a "Get out of my WAY" type of bully.

At one point he is sitting under a tree, musing "They ought to let ME run the country!"

I kid you not.

Long story short, at one point, someone steps on his tiny little horn and he bursts into tears, whining "Why doesn't anybody LOVE me?"

It's out there n Google Image Search for anyone who wants to find it, but I re-read it today and it is absolutely Trump in every way, shape, or form."

We sat back on the 1st Amendment and the "Marketplace of ideas" and let the propaganda of Fox News, hate radio, and the preachers of the SBC do their damage over two decades.

Meanwhile, we let go of the Fairness Doctrine.

We LET about half of our population be recruited by the evil of the alt-right.

He ain't the "Apprentice" now..

He don't know what job he has...On his current job, part of the deal is to shut up to some criticism ....

The last occupant .. knew..and he really had class.
this fellow don't know nothing.
...He is just not smart enough to know what job he has..

..This job has had some very strong and intelligent occupants.
..Drump is demeaning the job, by what he says or tweets...He hasn't got a clue..

and that is the worst part of all.....Sometimes you got to shut up on this job.....
Why?.........
.That is part of the job description...

The last occupant did it.
Many others who had the job did it.
But Trump hasn't got a clue..
This ain't his company,,,This is our country...
Sometimes you got to shut up...
Everyone knows that but Trump.....I got an idea for Trump

TRUMP.............YOU ARE FIRED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
