Trump Blasts “Low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and “Psycho Joe” in Morning Tweet

In an early morning tirade, Trump blasted Morning Joe talking heads Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough in a pair of Tweets that are rather shocking even by his standards.

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then 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!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017

The Tweets caused quite a bit of outrage – even from some Republican lawmakers.

Please just stop. This isn't normal and it's beneath the dignity of your office.

It's beneath dignity of any office. If 1 of my employees used business communications like this, he would be scanning Indeed by nightfall.

— Jeff Kemp (@jkempcpa) June 29, 2017

Exactly. The fact we hold minimum-wage employees to a higher standard than the president is absolutely insane.

— Skinner McLane (@FrozenZade) June 29, 2017

Agreed. I know you’re in an impossible situation, I know it’s complicated, but this isn’t okay. As a Xian, conservative, Amer. I am grieved.

— Joshua Pease (@peaseplan) June 29, 2017

our leader – elected and supported by the Republican party – is the opposite? We need principled conservatives to reclaim a message of hope.

— Joshua Pease (@peaseplan) June 29, 2017

Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America.

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) June 29, 2017

Thanks Senator. As a Trump supporter I find his past tweet inappropriate

— RJ Parker, PhD (@RealRJParker) June 29, 2017

This is not okay. As a female in politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower women. https://t.co/sV6WDE0EUD

Anybody who criticizes the President ends up crazy, psycho, failing, poorly rated, crooked, etc. How do his supporters not see this pattern?

— Adam Best (@adamcbest) June 29, 2017

Selective acknowledgement. It won't be until TrumpleThinSkin insults most people to their faces, that they'll see it. Now he has a goal!

Why are you watching TV? You're the US President. There are more important things to do. You're meant to be running the country

— Edward Hardy (@EdwardTHardy) June 29, 2017

I'd suggest the country is better off if he sticks to just watching TV.

— Stu (@StuEkins) June 29, 2017

Donald, don't you have a job to do? Do you really think that tweeting like a crazy whackjob is improving the quality of life in the USA? pic.twitter.com/T5pC9YcV1B

Turned the knob up and broke it off, didn't ya, Sir ???

A guide for you Donny:

Things you should give a shit about: Running the country.
Things you should stop giving a shit about: Morning shows.

Not sure what language this was so I used Google translator w/several languages and finally back to English. Here's what I got: (1/3)

…Eve wanted to unite the three nights in the new year, thirty-one gallons. She called very well. not me! 3/3
Much better.

You really want to start comparing IQ's with people?
Wouldn't go there if I were you…#NiceTryTrump

Since @Morning_Joe is "poorly rated" as you "heard," why do you care what "Crazy Mika" and "Psycho Joe" say about you, Mr. President?

— Matt Small (@newsmatt) June 29, 2017

Watch out for Morning Joe. He's been using a CIA dream beam to send nightmares into your mind. Consider arresting him.

Most teenagers are more mature when they tweet.

Add @morningmika to the long list of women who get @realDonaldTrump's unique brand of "respect." pic.twitter.com/D7UznKIDPj

Is there anything sadder than the President of the United States insulting people who claims not to watch with stupid, petty names?

— MatthewDicks (@MatthewDicks) June 29, 2017

My God, someone go smash his phone. Please.

But seriously it's great to see Melania's cyberbullying initiative is off to an amazing start.

— Slade Sohmer (@Slade) June 29, 2017

Maybe now isn't a good time to ask, @FLOTUS, but how's that anti-cyberbullying initiative coming along? Asking for the entire United States.

— Sue Fliess (@SueFliess) June 29, 2017

Now would be a good time for @FLOTUS to institute that anti-bullying program…What US President even speaks like this anyway? #Classless

Fighting fire with Fire is literally the worst way to fight fire

— Ben Rosen (@Rosen) June 29, 2017

Awesome tweet! You managed to insult women, citizens with developmental disabilities or mental health issues all at once.

— Deb Huber (@DebHuber3) June 29, 2017

Someone needs to spank you or wash your mouth out with soap. Adults & espec. someone in your role should not be behaving like this. Grow Up.

— ACE (@ace572013) June 29, 2017

This is the President of the United States. Not your douchey buddy tweeting at an ex girlfriend

— Dana Smith (@Brady5thOrBust) June 29, 2017

Yea, still not addressing that the Office of the Presidency should exhibit ultimate dignity. Cute that you twist it to be about the media

— Dana Smith (@Brady5thOrBust) June 29, 2017

They're like a greatest hits collection. Name-calling, TV-referencing, Mar-a-Lago promoting, illiterate and a dash of blood-themed misogyny.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States of America. #weallneedshowers

What a pillar of Presidential dignity and intellect you are. Thomas Jefferson would be proud.

— Brian Stack (@BrianStack153) June 29, 2017

No matter what you think of Trump, or of Mika and Joe, is this the kind of behavior we should accept from a president?
