President Donald Trump took to Twitter early on Thursday morning and called MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and "Psycho Joe." He then shared how, despite their frequent criticism of his presidency, the pair frequented his estate at Mar-a-Lago for "3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve" and spent time with him. Trump also said that Brzezinski was "bleeding badly" from plastic surgery.
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!

Brzezinski clapped back with a tweet of her own, mocking the president's hand size.

Scarborough retweeted a tweet from CNN's Jake Tapper reminding people that Melania Trump's pet issue is preventing cyber-bullying.
This reminds me: how is @FLOTUS's campaign against cyber-bullying going? https://t.co/X4xmyreGLH

What a world we live in.
I mean, this is entirely inappropriate for anyone to tweet, never mind the sitting president of the United States. It's not funny, it's rude, and it's completely unbecoming of the presidency. He's the president--the opinion of a television show host doesn't matter, and this just looks petty. Further, it was inappropriate when President Obama did things like compare his bowling skills to the Special Olympics, and it's not okay to call someone "Low I.Q."
