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:
How super childish and thug like. Giving credible support for the thug culture is not what a RESPONSIBLE adult does.
As far we remember little boys were meeting at schoolyards! Mr. D.J.Trump is a man, a real man, Deutsch bag!
Deutsch is a douche
Sounds like bully.
Donnie…you are UGLY, inside and out!!
That dude better watch it Trump carries concealed!
Duh, this guy is vile, more so than the Trump tweet by a long shot.
Hey douche bag… I’ll be President Trump’s proxy. Name the time & place…
I’ll meet you Deutsche!
You belong in a school yard Jerk
