President Trump on Thursday assailed the television host Mika Brzezinski in unusually personal and vulgar terms, the latest of a string of escalating attacks by the president on the national news media.

Shortly before 9 a.m., as Ms. Brzezinski’s MSNBC show “Morning Joe” was ending, Mr. Trump used Twitter to taunt Ms. Brzezinski and her co-host, Joe Scarborough, referring to them as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe” and saying that at one point Ms. Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.’’

Mr. Trump has launched broadsides this week against several of the country’s major television networks and newspapers, accusing the press of creating “fake news” and of unfairly fixating on his campaign’s links to Russian officials. At the White House, the president’s deputy press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on national television that Americans “deserve something better” from the country’s media.

The graphic nature of the president’s suggestion that Ms. Brzezinski had undergone plastic surgery was met with immediate criticism on social media. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina wrote on Twitter, “Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America.” And a spokesman for NBC News, Mark Kornblau, wrote on Twitter: “Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, ‘It is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States.”

[kwassa]

27. Didn't you see it?

[jmowreader]

32. Someone needs to edit that

Change the robe's color to red, the smoke to yellow and add some horns to the forehead of the tall guy.

[Cattledog]

4. What the F is wrong with this POS?

[Blue_Tires]

7. Nothing... He's just continuing to BE the person he's ALWAYS been...

My question is what the F*** is wrong with this country that voted him into power...

[iluvtennis]

13. +++++++++ AGREE. And the sad thing is the rest of the world has ur same question.

[Moostache]

5. This ignoramus shouldn't be a rural county councilman let alone POTUS...

I have seen more qualified individuals than he standing in line at WalMart, and if you Google "peopleofwlamart", THAT'S a low bar to clear...

[Botany]

6. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

How much "work," botox, hair extensions, and other stuff is in this picture?

BTW Trump's forehead is botox in action.

[calimary]

8. A lot. Times two.

Although he's at an age where facelifts don't help much, anymore.

[iluvtennis]

14. And don't forget that scalp has undergone surgery x times to pull his "little hair" over the balding

[Sunlei]

15. at least they create jobs for the botox injectors, body painters, poofie lips, & bigboobie Doctors.

let them pay the real American workers.

[Bayard]

23. Melania's face doesn't move anymore

She's actually smiling in this pic.

[Sunlei]

10. This Republican president is worse in history. Fuck you Republican party for supporting that POS.

Your party uses a sick and crazy man to push your anti-Americans agenda.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Winnie said it best

Lady Astor: "Winston, you're drunk".

Winston: "But I shall be sober in the morning and you, madam, will still be ugly. "

Mika will look great, but Trump will still be stupid!

[Blue_Tires]

12. Trump believe it or not knows the hustle he's pulling here...

Tweet something outrageous in the morning, and get a free 24-hour reprieve from the media talking about KremlinGate...

[Sunlei]

17. not if you go directly to @white house,@potus @official gov officials & ask why potus cray-speak

[Grammy23]

16. No one should be shocked or surprised at anything this terribly flawed man/child does.

All of the vile things he tweets or says are standard operating procedure for him. If he feels the slightest bit insulted or criticized he feels the need to respond. To put it in terms he uses, "If I get hit, I hit back 10 times harder." Nothing gets left untweeted by the Thin Skinned Tyrant. It is as if his internal editor has permanently left the station and if he thinks it, he MUST tweet it.

I am pretty sure we are seeing the signs of a man under extreme duress. His lack of impulse control to tweet every crazy thing that crosses his mind has gotten worse as time since the inauguration has moved on. The details of his Russian partnerships are oozing out every day. His agenda never really got off the launchpad and he has had to make do with Executive Orders. I can't help but think he is feeling like a cornered rat who feels the walls closing in around him. No way out. This is NOT what he expected nor bargained for and it is driving him over the edge.

It will get worse before it gets better. If you are in the news business, better put on your asbestos undies because he intends to destroy the media if he can. For a man who used the media to get where he is today, he has a very odd/sick relationship with media. Love/hate would be a good approximation. Now that they are fighting back, he will not be happy until he gets his revenge. It will make interesting viewing while the evidence mounts against him and he can finally be ejected from office. Hasten that day!

[Javaman]

18. someone needs to bait the orange menace by asking...

"are you the president?"

and when he responds, in his way, with a yes.

the follow up should, "well then fucking act like it".

what a fucking petulant man-child.

[Paladin]

19. What's up with trump's obsession with bleeding women?

Looking forward to dim-bulb Sarah Huckabee Sanders trying to smooth this one over.

[nikibatts]

20. WTF? Besides degrading the Office, this is dangerous and getting more so every day.

The Trump/alt-right attacks against the media is leading us into the abyss. The media MUST NOT BACK DOWN FROM THESE ATTACKS. In fact, the media should double down with more facts and truth and insist on getting the information everywhere!

We are heading to some very dark places and we may not be able to recover for a long time. We must fight back the money-changers with unprecedented grass-root resistance.

I don't even like Mika but this is just too much to sit back and take.

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. That's why its disturbing to watch CNN and MSNBC scramble the other way

New head of MSNBC Lack, wanted to can Laurence, if it weren't for the public outcry. He is responsible for the influx of Fox News ex's. CNN now hiring Trump floozies. As usual, if they get heat from the right they think they have to move to the right even more to keep Republican viewers. It doesn't matter if the heat is legit or not. Instead of diving into the inferno with solid journalism and harsh critiques, they hire new faces to dampen the flames and assure RW viewers that they won't be overly critical and will employ Trump worshiping liars in order to feed them what they want to hear.

But I never thought I'd see the day when Morning Joe with Mika would be labeled "left wing media" by a Republican.

[Juliusseizure]

22. Fuckface Von Clownstick Tweets

He's a vile pig, and if there's a silver lining here it's that he reveals it often. When it's a personal attack against a non-politician, it resonates more to the general populace.

He's a very "dark" sociopath. It's better he reveal it this way. If he was more clever and disciplined, like certain dictators I will not bring up, and held back it would be more dangerous IMHO.

[Bayard]

24. Do face lifts actually bleed?

I have no clue.

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. There's bruising and swelling

and anyone who cares enough about their appearance to get a face lift isn't going to go out until they're presentable, well after any bleeding might occur. So it's just another lie from Trump.

[rockfordfile]

25. They supported him. Besides Republican Trump and other Republicans are un-American

[samplegirl]

26. What a small man he is

Mika should sue him!

[DonCoquixote]

28. I would love to feel sorry for Mika

But she and her soon to be hubby , and for that matter, her daddy, need to taste a little of the fruit she toiled hard in the fields of 2016 to bring to harvest.

[meadowlander]

29. Daddy died a few weeks ago

So I don't think he will be.

[DonCoquixote]

31. thann hubby can take double duty

and then his carcass be a a warning for all who dare trust Trump.
