There is no love lost between Donald Trump and Mika Brzezinski.
Last week, the Morning Joe co-host was left speechless after watching footage of Trump discussing his preference for millionaires and billionaires, not “poor people,” running the economy. She also compared the president’s administration to a “developing dictatorship,” and said that Trump’s “very, very imbalanced.” On Thursday morning, he fired back through his preferred method of juvenile insults and baseless accusations: Twitter.
“I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore),” the president tweeted. “Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came… [six minutes go by before Trump finishes this thought] “…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!”

Three things:
1. Morning Joe‘s ratings are at an all-time high.
“Morning Joe also had a notable [May], eclipsing 1 million total viewers for the first time in the history of the program,” TVNewser reported. “The 1.1 million viewer average for May 2017 represents +89 percent improvement from the program’s total viewer average in May 2016 (583,000).”
2. Trump’s slipping on nicknames. Crazy Mika is no Crooked Hillary.
3. “She was bleeding badly from a face-lift.” Just, no.
Meanwhile, Brzezinski almost immediately responded to Trump’s facelift accusation what with can only be described as A Good Tweet.
