This week, Donald Trump sparked controversy on Twitter when he called out the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe for their two-faced behavior.
The two tweets directed at the hosts called Joe Scarborough “psycho” and Mika Brzezinski “crazy” and “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during a New Years event.
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!

The posts — while not out of character from Trump — nonetheless sparked a serious of condemnations from media types and politicians alike. As is often the case, many of those condemnations are more than a little hypocritical in their phrasing. The media think Trump is crude, but fail to realize their own behavior toward the president is often much worse.
Watch one CNBC reporter respond to Trump’s insults with a threat on the next page:
Sounds great to me

As soon as Trump would kick your$#%&!@*over the top of your empty head, you, like so many as intelligent would be screaming impeachment because you lost like Hillary.
Since I voted for Pres. Trump and he is the President of the United States and is entirely to busy to meet this jerk, I am offering to stand in for my President. If this guy will agree to a school yard on the East coast, I will be very happy to meet his big mouth self and teach him to respect the office of The President of the United States.
