Trump threatens to 'tell the real story' about Morning Joe 'clowns'
By Nick Gass

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."

(3,657 posts)The only thing I can compare his behavior to, is a road rager. They think everyone is out to cut them off and they are always ready to overreact...consequences be damned
That temperament is not one the world needs in the White House or really any position dealing with the public or any living creature.

If Twitter was around during Tricky Dick, we would have seen the same kind of thing from him.

Trump is all impotent bloviating.
Smart assholes don't get mad, they get even.
Average to stupid assholes have temper tantrums.

I'm just saying we shouldn't jump to the conclusion that he's personally insulting them. Especially after his spokeswoman was so insistent that he doesn't do that sort of thing.

This last is also interesting. Is there a romantic relationship between the hosts? Is that what Benedict Donald is trying to imply?
Every word the man utters reeks of misogyny.
CTyankee
(63,903 posts)reports that the two are "dating.." She used to talk about Jim ever so often on the show but that doesn't happen any more. Joe has been divorced from his second wife for several years.
I guess they're in no hurry to say much about their relationship publicly.

(115,677 posts)DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON CLINTON FOUNDATION: SHUT IT DOWN
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 Hillarys time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.

(3,764 posts)Working in schools there is some good advice: Always be nice to the office ladies and the janitorial staff. You are going to need their help and you don't want to get on their bad side.
I think the same can be said of politicians and the press.

(3,825 posts)I think it was Eugene Robinson, what could Trump do or say that would possibly interest AA voters into giving him a second look or change their attitudes about him. Robinson being African American, said nothing, but Joe kept pushing him and he came up with 3 possible changes..... 1. Talk directly to African Americans not just about them to white audiences, 2. hire a more diverse campaign staff, and forcefully and completely disavow the KKK, David Duke and Alt Right Nazis and say he does not want or desire their support.. What I'm really angry about, is no one, NO ONE asked Joe what could Hillary do to make him think about voting for her. They are all a bunch of cowards and ball less dicks because no one can ask a decent rebuttal question when they have the opportunity to smack them down. This should be done every fucking time they talk about Orange Man pivoting to talk to all Americans not just to his hate spewing supporters.

(50,267 posts)"Morning Joe" gave Trump so much free air time during the primary it helped significantly in getting Trump selected as the nominee. Now, realizing what they have done, "Morning Joe" is no longer a Trump love fest. "Morning Joe" has, like many others, gone into save-the-country-from-Trump mode.
