Who told Donald Trump this was a good idea?!
Inexplicably this morning, The Donald decided it was the perfect time to wage a wild Twitter war with a morning talk show on a cable TV network — and this, just days after shaking up his campaign staff in order to stay on message for the election!

Early this morning, Trump tweeted that he was tuning into Morning Joe, a cable news talk show hosted every day by Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski, but evidently something was wrong.
Trump viciously attacked the two hosts, who had been on air discussing how bad a week he had with controversies and scandals all around, by tweeting (below):
Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 22, 2016
Uh-oh.

Donald, put the phone down, don’t keep tweeting-oh-no-here it comes:
Some day, when things calm down, I’ll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!

YIKES!!!

Dropping a BOMB of an affair accusation, Trump might have gone a bit too far, eh?!
Scarborough fired back a few hours later, first responding (below):
Neurotic and not very bright?
Look in the mirror. https://t.co/FPaqGW9JWv

And later commenting on the ratings accusations (below):
Thanks for watching.
Morning Joe is enjoying it’s best ratings ever thanks to obsessed fans like you. GLAD├░┼╕╦£Γé¼ https://t.co/FPaqGW9JWv

Scarborough also took the time to retweet some other people who had things to say about Trump’s asinine comments, including (below):
CONSIDER THIS – Hillary Clinton today announced an $80m ad buy in key states. Donald Trump is tweeting about morning cable television.

“Yes, President Trump, we could theoretically position a satellite over Joe and Mika, but our assets are focused on ISIS at the moment.”

LOLz!!
As for Brzezinski, she retweeted this tweet from a Hillary Clinton staffer, but has otherwise been quiet on the matter:
Seems like someone is unnerved by our new ad, premiered on https://t.co/c6GzL89qIb https://t.co/QHCp5CWl5g

A few hours later, after the controversy started to peak on Twitter, Scarborough tweeted another statement from Trump’s new campaign manager with the perfect emoji to reflect the entire situation (below):
“He doesn’t hurl personal insults and he regrets causing personal pain based on things that he has said.” ~@KellyannePolls
