I’ve reported him no less than a hundred times. @twitter simply doesn’t care. @jack is indifferent.

Trump took aim at both Brzezinski and her “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough after they criticized him on the air, but reserved a particularly personal attack for Brzezinski alone.
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..

“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!” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.
Twitter policy says it doesn’t tolerate “behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.”
A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment to the Washington Examiner about the number of abuse reports for Trump’s account.
“We don’t comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons,” the spokesperson said.
