‘Disgraceful & Shameful’: Twitter Goes Nuts Over Trump’s ‘Bleeding’ Facelift Tweet
The Twitterverse is seething with rage after President Trump attacked MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski by mocking her for having plastic surgery.
Trump’s media criticisms are almost a daily routine now, but he took thinks to a new level when he tweeted that the Morning Joe co-host was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” when they encountered each other on New Years Eve. This kind of slam is quite shocking, even by Trump standards, and Twitter is ripping the president apart for it.
This is disgraceful & shameful. The message this sends, that you can bully others like this w/out any shame or consequence, is disgusting. pic.twitter.com/jrvzJwIspd

It must be said: if you're a Republican leader and you're still supporting President Trump, you own this.

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

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

This crass, vulgar person, who obsesses over women’s weight, looks and various aspects of their “bleeding,” is PRESIDENT. Ruminate on that. https://t.co/MAyRplXzZS

From the head of NBC News/MSNBC PR:
Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, “it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States.”
