Alleged facelift, I should say. It’d be a fun postscript to this own-goal if the president of the United States got sued by a cable-news host for defamation.
As nasty and stupid as it is for him to sink to this, increasingly I think it’s the least he can do for his base. We may not get a decent health-care bill or tax reform or stronger borders but we’ll have plenty of sick media burns to look back on when we reflect on the Trump years. This panem et circenses is the best panem et circenses, believe me:
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!

The standards for presidential decorum were higher not so long ago! Anyway, he’s getting it from all sides in the aftermath. From Brzezinski herself…

…from her network spokesmen…
Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, "it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States."

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

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

…and even from his would-be press secretary:
MESSAGE DISCIPLINE! Today ALL comms coming out of WH shd be focused on #KatesLaw and #NoSanctuaryforCriminalsAct — not cable TV hosts.

Although one man remains ever loyal:
Maybe liberal Joe should stop calling the @POTUS a schmuck, a liar, a thug and mentally unhinged. Were they kissing @POTUS ass at xmas? Yes https://t.co/Ehf4EHvcjS

And of course, Team Trump is on message — not about health care or energy but about the president’s main preoccupation. Keep in mind, Melania Trump’s main initiative as First Lady thus far has been, uh, combating cyberbullying:

I wonder if “Morning Joe” imagined when it was promoting this guy during the Republican primaries that the story would end with him tweeting about Mika’s plastic surgery from the White House. And to think, less than six months ago Trump was supposedly offering to officiate at Joe’s and Mika’s wedding. In hindsight, perhaps we’ll remember today as the day Scarborough resolved to primary Trump.
I’m already looking forward to the investigation into Mika’s facelift on tonight’s very special episode of “Hannity.” In lieu of an exit question, I’ll just link you to this old post by Kevin Williamson written the day of the Indiana primary last year, when Trump eliminated Ted Cruz and effectively clinched the nomination. Ben Shapiro makes a fair point: In certain ways, Trump is the right-wing equivalent of late-night liberal comedians like Samantha Bee or Stephen Colbert. The difference is that the left hasn’t sought to make any of them president. Yet.
I love it! Now Trump is making fun of the fake news producers!
You might have something there.
If he fires Mueller, the Libs won’t have a leg to stand on and the exposure of the MSM Fake News is a big reason why.
Trump is confounding the very people out to destroy this nation as founded.
...and you have a problem with it?
WTF?
It’s beyond me why some FReepers wish Trump to change the way he is and what got him where he is today and want him to start acting like the “professional politicians” who have polluted Washington for long...
It’s refreshing to see a real man who takes up for himself instead of just sitting back and let the freaking media have their way...
Agreed. He is spending political capital on personal whims.
How about he just act like an adult, instead of a toddler in a food fight?
If Trump keeps tweeting he’ll never be President
Yeah,I do——— he got my vote,he gets my loyalty,I love his talks and rallies,but I hate the Tweeting.
So there !
.
Didn’t Mika insult Trump by calling him mentally deranged earlier this month?
He’s simply returning the favor.
This headline is so full of hot air. Typical of the *neverTrump boobs.
Redstate, Hotair, WSJ, and National Review are the RINO watering trough. The hardest thing ever, for these establishment elitists, is seeing Trump in the White House over their objection. LOL!
We were suppose to pledge our allegiance back when they tossed all their cookies for Croooze. Instead, in droves, we turned out for the Alpha Trump. Having not yet recovered from learning that we instinctively recognized a patriot with street courage when we saw him, these sore losers now lob from the cheap seats.
I’ll keep my Fighter-in-Chief, thanks!!
Go Trump!!!!
How is he acting any differently than when we all voted for him???
You did vote for him, didn’t you???
She had blood coming out of her eyes, coming out of... wherever.
It could have been worse, he could have called Mika and Joe Irredeemable Deplorables.
President Trump owns the only iPhone that doubles as a Laser Pointer.
Yeah, lots of ugly things happen in war, and this is a war.
The MSM-Democrats have called it a war on multiple occasions. They've said the normal rules don't apply, that normal "journalistic ethics" don't apply, and normal "journalistic practices" don't apply.
They've said Trump is Hitler, Trump is insane, Trump is a virus.
Meathead Reiner called for "all out war" just a few days ago.
OK, so its war. All kinds of unexpected, dramatic things happen in war. To ordinary citizens and soldiers, many of them don't make sense, observed from the heat of battle.
But later on, they do make sense.
Many here have commented on how smart DJT's "James Comey better hope there are no tapes" tweet now appears. At the time, it got lots of criticism, including here.
Trump has been proving he's no fool for a long time, particularly since he announced his interest in seeking the Presidency. Those who can only kvetch and hand-wring will do what they do best.
The tweeting is working, as uncomfortable as that might be for you.
Hell, I’.d like to see him pick up a brick, step out from behind the briefing podium and throw it at Acosta’s head.
pbltbbbbb
“Hell, I’.d like to see him pick up a brick, step out from behind the briefing podium and throw it at Acosta’s head.”
Now that’s something I’d like also.
.
Are you asking me to show my papers, comrade? Wondering if I’ve been properly enthusiastic in support of Dear Leader?
Yes, I voted for him. I hoped he would appreciate what it meant to be the leader of the greatest country on earth.
This might mean Trump is doing something today he wants the media off of. I don’t like his cattiness but you get the whole Trump Package with him in office, and the good far outweighs the petty. Still, he knows EXACTLY how to play the media.
He throws the chum into the water FAR from where he’s doing his real fishing. He knows this gives him 12 hours to do whatever would be good for the country while the nasty media sharks froth over THERE over something really stupid and petty.
I kinda like it.
