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:
You no I wasn’t much in to politics until this past election and it has so comical besides the sick c**p of beheading and assassination. The left are so far gone it’s pitiful. You people in government took an oath to uphold the constitution and laws here. If you are wanting Trump to fail then you are are Anti-American! You don’t have to agree with everything Trump says but you need to work with him instead of the insults and rhetoric you show. Do your jobs!
You are an idiot, if I were the President I would meet you in jail and have a good laugh seeing you behind the bars
Me too he looks like mommy has to come out to defend him.
I would go with Trump not this loser.
I’ll put my money on Trump!!
This guy is stupid hopefully he will disappear soon.
Acting like a high school thug that would give birth to a politician if he met Trump face to face.big talk when out of reach.
So juvenile! True democratic idiot!
Who is Deutsch? Where did he come from?
