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.
Today he dropped the bomb...
This man fights.
I can’t spare him.
Yes, we all would like to return to the days of GWB who took the smears on the chin all to uphold the dignity of the office. /s
I’m not asking you to show me anything...
And IMO, he is acting MORE like a leader than anyone who has lived in the White House for quite some time...
Do you wish he’d start acting more like those others???
Love how if Trump ever responds to them, they cry bully.. when they’ve been bullying him for a really long time.
I dont like the personal tweets much either. But I do like that he can get his message across otherwise.
What IS the real story about @JoeNDP and very insecure long-time girlfriend @morningmika?
Jeb?
LOL
The idiots do not deserve anything better.
You want Trump to be very Bush-like huh? See how being quiet and “Mature” helped him right? The attacks kept going and were WORSE, and he was a liberal lite. No wonder W never fought back. These tweets let us know POTUS is still fighting the good fight he was elected to fight. Sorry you don’t have the stomach for a real fighter and someone with an ‘R’ in front of their name actually hitting back at these low life liars.
“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.”
Trump would counter-sue them for defamation, slander and/or libel.
I wish Trump would act more statesman-like. It’s a little embarrassing, to put it mildly. Nonetheless, it is quite entertaining.
We’ve had decades of “statesman-like”. Look where it has gotten us. I’ll take the punch-them-in-the-face-like President Trump any day. MAGA!
When did this tweet appear? Obviously I missed it.
Yes, a classic cheese morsel
Trump is more “statesman like” when it is necessary or when he needs to be...
He is also very kick ass when he needs to be...
Trump is NOT the cowering pushover we’ve had in the White House for a long time...
Trump is doing exactly what got him elected...
Those days are over. This is War.
“Trump is playing “Squirrel!”. “
I agree but not sure why. He is moving on the travel ban and maybe some other item. However it sure does keep the media off balance.
This guy sees his life-like bloody head spread across the news, see his 11 year old kid mocked and bullied by people 4 times his age, his wife called a whore and a gold digger, his adult children dragged through the mud...and the media is going to lecture him on professionalism?
lolololol
