Even by Donald Trump’s standards, this feud is taking a while to die down…
President Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, on Twitter.
“Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!”

The insults follow a tweetstorm days ago where he referred to Brzezinski as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika,” and claimed she was bleeding from a facelift upon her arrival to Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort at New Year’s.
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 hosts hit back with claims that the National Enquirer would run an embarrassing story about them unless they called Trump to apologise for their critical coverage of him. Trump tweeted, claiming that Scarborough had indeed called him asking to stop the story. Scarborough took to his own Twitter to refute that claim, referring to it as “yet another lie.”
Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I haven't spoken with you in many months. https://t.co/TZWiElo6Gs
