Trump's tweet about Mika

[TheGreatGatsby]

"Outrage" Dem operatives always using their buzz words.

 

[Jackson]

I agree the behavior of Trump is beneath the office of the presidency. Someone has to get to him to make him stop tweeting and start focusing 100% on his promises.

 

[WillowTree]

I don't get the kerfuffle over this. If she can call him names and talk about his tiny hands I have no problems with him mentioning her facelift!

me personally, I would turn and walk off and totally ignore it. When you have a secure sense of yourself you have a thick skin especially about little shit.

the POTUS arguing with reporters is so far beneath the measure of respect associated with the job its scary

Why? They have hounded him without mercy since the election, he is a human is he not?

 

[IResist]

It's shown Mika wasn't bleeding from her facelift. So that was debunked.

Still, people enable him to make a mockery of the office.

 

[IResist]

I remember the right crucifying President Obama for far less.

 

[PredFan]

I don't give a rats ass what Trump tweets, I care about what he does, and I like 99% of that, so, meh.

He hasn't done anything other than piss off our allies, give secrets to the Russians, and attack people on Twitter.

Of course you would say that because you are an idiot.

 

[EverCurious]

I think it's funny as hell. Trolling is a special form of art that seems to resonate well with my generation (the late 40s to 50s generation) - I think you lefties just don't understand trolling, it's not "real" per-say it's a game. I suppose you could say we figure that the office of President has been a joke for nearly a decade of Obama, but now its a game that moves us forward on what America really needs so we're much more amused by President Trump's trolling than idk embarrassed. If other nations don't like our "playful" President fuck em. There is no reason everything has to be serious all the time and laughter is a healing weapon.

Mockery of the office would be your recent D picks; Clinton and his cigars in the oval office, Obama kissing foreign dignitaries feet, etc. At least Trump trolls his opposition from a seat of power and strength - much more fitting for America imo.

Whats Worse,What Trump Said About Mika Zenzbrinski, Or The Outlandish Things Joe Biden Has Said?

Worrying about "what's worse" is among the central failings among the American people. When two actions are both reprehensible, it doesn't matter whether one's worse than the other. Two wrongs do not make "a right" and just because someone else "jumps off a cliff" doesn't mean one should too. (tu quoque) Far too much focus is placed on who's worse when the focus rightly belongs on "what I/we/they are doing to be better than s/he/they who acted odiously."

I agree to a point.

The din of the media and its insults to Republicans, conservatives (There is a difference), and any President that is not progressive has reached cartoonish proportions. The American psyche has always been to fight back when pushed. The media is now trying to hide behind the "Well, he is the President and must act better than we do" meme. In essesnce, they are saying, "Yeah, we're bullying you and we're going to beat you up and take your lunch money, and because you're supposed to be better than I am, you cannot fight back!"

Trump should fight back. However, he does need to show a bit more class about it.

The sad part in all of this is that if it had been a Progressive President and he had made such remarks about a Republican woman, the media would have been so silent the sound of it would have reached the Himalaya's.

This is the problem when a double standard is exercised over long periods of time. Those who have been on the brunt of it, no longer care if the retaliation is crude and boorish.

I don't think so. Then again, we haven't had a POTUS in recent memory who's lowered themselves to the level Trump has. The fact of the matter is that as POTUS, one is "above it all;" thus one should comport oneself accordingly.

The reason for the outcry -- outcry that's coming from all respectable quarters -- is Trump's debasing himself and more importantly the office of the president. Effrontery is beneath the office. The man holding the office can think it if he wants to, but he has to have the restraint to refrain from plying his acrid brume of oppressively caustic oral effluvium.

As I said, had a Democrat President said it, there would be silence from the media, or excuses.

After all, look at how many of our Democrat elected office holders speak about Republican women now. It is every bit as crass and crude and outrageous. I won't defend Trump because his manner is crude and juvenile. I just don't turn a blind eye to what the other side is doing as well.

After all, look at how many of our Democrat elected office holders speak about Republican women now.

Perhaps you care to offer a few specific examples of those Democratic office holders personal effrontery toward specific Republican women and that is petty in the same ways Trump's remarks about myriad individuals have been.


I don't mean constructive, or at least truthful, chiding for actual wrongdoing. It's not an insult or mockery, say, to call someone a liar when it's clear they have lied. It's not insulting to call someone ignorant when when people who know a topic very well can see readily the person doesn't know what they are talking about/doing. The objects of such ridicule may not like that they're being excoriated, but they did/said what they did, and that they did is not in question. Contrast that with Trump's most recent aspersion:

• 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!
  • Who told him Joe speaks badly of him? Isn't Trump always "on about" unnamed sources? Should he as POTUS not lead by example rather than follow the example of those he derides?
  • Is Mika's I.Q. public knowledge? There's no legitimate basis for thinking her I.Q. is not at least average.
  • When did a psychiatrist/psychologist conclude that Joe is "psycho?"
  • Was Mika truly "bleeding badly" from a face-lift? If so, there should be an ambulance and hospital record associated with her having been treated to stop the bleeding. Is Mika close enough to Trump that he's (or was) privy to her physiological status? Did she or Joe ask to be invited to Mar-a-Lago?

If Trump's claims are true, then fine, they're not insults. It's far from clear that they are true.

Part of what makes Trump's effrontery particularly egregious is that he makes a goddamned habit of it. It's not a "one-off" thing whereby he merely had a momentary lapse in judgment.

• People and groups Trump has mocked/insulted

speak about Republican women

Republican women?!? You have the temerity to say that in light of this: A list of Trump's attacks on prominent women.

Go ahead and criticize President Trump’s Mika tweet, but there’s no denying this was disturbing. On Thursday’s Hardball, MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews compared the President to not only communist Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam and a modern-day Romanov but also channel Benito Mussolini having son-in-law Jared Kushner murdered.


As he’s previously done(documented here, here, and here), Matthews reiterated his belief that Kushner and wife Ivanka Trump are akin to the murderous sons of Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay

The Media deserves what he dished out. You guys are hell-bent on destroying the president THE PEOPLE elected.

Matthews Suggests Trump Channel Mussolini, Murder Kushner; Compares Him to Ethiopian Dictator

Once, just once, I'd like to see someone in the WH that is able to rise above all this childish mudslinging, and name-calling so they can actually be "the adult in the room" and LEAD. Trump included.

I do not care much about his tweets simply because they are, in many cases, childish distractions that are meaningless by themselves. However, taken as a whole, they are really quite disturbing.

Furthermore, The "Media" do not deserve what he has dished out, despite what they may have said or done. No one does.

If you disagree, explain to me, in an adult way, why revenge is a quality you like in a President. That is what this is, and nothing more, if, indeed, you are correct and it is in reaction to the media.

First climb down from your liberal hypocritical morally superior fake platitiude.

Got it, the media does not deserve any of it.

 

[Mac1958]

As I understand it, we're not supposed to criticize this "tweet" about Mika, or the rest of his silly tweets, or is non-stop personal insults and name-calling since the day he entered the race, or his constant, cartoonish, absurd hyperbole or his long string of embarrassing quotes because the media.

And Hillary.

And Obama.

And the media.

whatever it takes to get your through you day .. if licking Trumps ass helps you sleep at night then lick away.

some people tweet and others start a dozen Trump whine threads a day. Whatever helps you cope.

 

[Rustic]

The coward President Donald Trump has humiliated America by viciously attacking a pair of TV talk show host with despicable and deplorable tweets totally unbecoming a President of the United States of America. Showing himself to be a small, immature, hateful, vengeful, less than a man human being, he has represented America in a shameful and humiliating manner.

This morning, the two talk show hosts confronted his abhorrent behavior on live National TV. They opened themselves up to questioning and interrogation and gave their sides of the story and exposed even more frightening behavior about the President.

President Donald Trump is a complete coward if he does not offer himself in a press conference and explain his actions to the American public, and indeed, the world.

President Donald Trump has humiliated America and degraded the Presidency. It is now his job to man up and show some courage, otherwise, he deserves to wear that coward brand forever.

Welcome to the new paradigm, non-civil discourse, brought to you by the left.

For 2 decades now most of the Right has played the civil game against rising incivility on the left.

I guess that's over at certain levels.

When you keep yammering on about how legislation will kill people, how the president is illegitimate, how he is unstable, and all the rest, do you really expect a guy like Trump to take it sitting down?

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

The original attempt to delegitimize the President was Trump's birtherism campaign. For the past 30 years right wing radio has called Democrats "commies", Femi-nazis, and those who have abortions "murderers". The poor have been demonized, as have non-whites and immigrants.

You're correct. The right has sown this wind for 30 years, and you're reaping the whirlwind. The left is finally pushing back against the lies, the racism and the misogyny you've down all these years.

There would be no trump if there was no Obama… Karma is a fucking bitch

oh please stop using that lame excuse Trump is an embarrassment a disaster Obama a gentleman Made errors? Sure all presidents do but his bottom line was far better than gwb's or this nitwit you repubs gave us

Obama is a shit stain, this is what happens when you elect a shit stain Like Obama.

Don Cheeto just can't STFU and grow up ..

President Donald Trump continued his feud with two MSNBC hosts on Friday, alleging one of them asked him to intervene to stop a story in the National Enquirer tabloid.

The latest skirmish began Thursday when Trump said the hosts, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, tried to join him at Mar-a-Lago last winter while Brzezinski “was bleeding badly from a face-lift.”

His attack sparked outrage among Republican lawmakers who said he was behaving beneath the dignity of his office and distracting from their legislative agenda, including repealing Obamacare and cutting taxes. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is trying to negotiate a compromise on his health bill by the end of the week as Republicans seek to fulfill a major campaign promise.

Those spineless morons are the reason we have Trump.
