President Donald Trump bashed "Morning Joe" hosts Mika Brezezinski and Joe Scarborough in a tweetstorm Thursday morning.
President Donald Trump bashed "Morning Joe" hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough in a tweetstorm Thursday morning, accusing Brzezinski of coming to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, while she was "bleeding" from a "face-lift."
"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," Trump tweeted. "She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"

Trump's latest tweets were part of a slew of attacks from the president on media organizations this week. Trump has bashed The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN on Twitter in recent days. He also celebrated that three CNN staffers resigned after the organization retracted a story about Trump and Russia.
"So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!" Trump tweeted.
