Trump threatens to 'tell the real story' about Morning Joe 'clowns'
Politico ^ | 8/22/16 | Nick Gass

Posted on 08/22/2016 5:44:07 AM PDT by CaptainK

Donald Trump laced into the hosts of MSNBC's morning show anew on Monday, accusing one of co-hosts of being "neurotic" and a "mess" and both of them as being "two clowns."

"Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!" Trump tweeted Monday, referring specifically to Mika Brzezinski, in response to the first hour and 20 minutes of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Minutes after his initial tweet, Trump offered another personal broadside.

"Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!" Trump tweeted, a day after campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted that he "doesn't hurl personal insults."

The show offered its usual criticism of the GOP nominee, returning from one commercial break to the tune of "Everything Is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie," as a clip of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus telling ABC on Sunday that Trump had a "great week" and is "getting into a groove."

"Everything's awesome," Brzezinski said. "Everything's awesome," co-host Joe Scarborough repeated.

Trump needs to go cold turkey on Morning Joe. Watch Mornings with Maria Bartiromo. That's what I do.

That said his tweets made me laugh.

Personally speaking I can’t watch FOX & Friends. LOL it annoys me for some reason.

Maria’s show is a great combination of news and business.

Mika and her boyfriend were unmerciful to Mitt and Mitt never responded or defended himself.

That was his MO for his entire campaign when it came to the MSM.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON CLINTON FOUNDATION: SHUT IT DOWN
https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/10157542172590725

Hillary Clinton is the defender of the corrupt and rigged status quo. The Clintons have spent decades as insiders lining their own pockets and taking care of donors instead of the American people. It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history. What they were doing during Crooked Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.

– Donald J. Trump

Fox Business and One America News are the only watchable news. I like Varney, Charles Payne and Lou Dobbs. You don’t have to hold your breathe wondering when the trashing will start.

Steve and Brian are just a bit too much Biff and Lance first thing in the morning.

The American People need to turn against our Media Masters. This is a great start.

I try every morning to just watch a few minutes of Morning Joe and listening to the constant anti Trump rhetoric makes my blood pressure go up. It is a 3 hour Trump hate fest. Of course now Trump has given them their show for tomorrow.

Actually, Mika and Joe would have fit in nicely in President Man's TV network. They could have starred in that popular show:

Their show would have been 3 hours of anti Trump whether he tweeted or not.

Saw this tweet about a minute after he sent it and lol’d.

Seems petty, however Trump has spent significant time in the media and was involved with the major networks with his show.
I’ll bet he knows some interesting stories.

Message: Nice little career you have there. Shame if anything were to happen to it. Shot fired.

Trump needs to focus entirely on Clinton and Obama; anyone else diminishes him, unless he has something nice to say.

Scarborough is loathesome. A demagogue even when he’s right on some issue. He has a VERY bad character as well. And his sudden love of muzzies! Money from Soros, the Saudis or listening to his future father-in-law??
