And now for something completely unexpected…
President Trump is ripping the media again for critical coverage. Who are today’s targets, you ask? The hosts of Morning Joe.
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!

During the early stages of the 2016 election, Trump appeared to have an amicable relationship with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Things eventually soured between the two parties, however, and the two faces of Morning Joe have been criticizing Trump ever since he took office as president.
Back in January, the political media picked up on photos of Scarborough after he was spotted at a New Years Eve party Trump held at Mar-a-Lago. Scarborough insisted that he and Brzezinski were only there to set up an interview with Trump, and Scarborough fought with multiple reporters over the insinuation that he spent the evening cozying-up with the President-Elect.
Interestingly enough, Trump’s tweet came shortly after his White House Director of Social Media Dan Scavino Jr. unleashed this slam against the two hosts of Morning Joe.
#DumbAsARockMika and lover #JealousJoe are lost, confused & saddened since @POTUS @realDonaldTrump stopped returning their calls! Unhinged.

Maybe the pair were watching Hannity last night.
Today, Scarborough said White House sources told him that Jared Kushner would more or less usurp Rex Tillerson by assuming the bulk of the Secretary of State’s responsibilities.
UPDATE – 9:35 a.m. EST: Brzezinski put up a tweet after Trump sent out his statement today.

As for Scarborough, he re-tweeted this statement from CNN’s Jake Tapper.
This reminds me: how is @FLOTUS's campaign against cyber-bullying going? https://t.co/X4xmyreGLH
