Trump: Mika Brzezinski was ‘bleeding badly from a face-lift’ during Mar-a-Lago meeting

President Trump ripped into MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough Thursday morning for their criticism of his administration.

“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,” Trump tweeted around 9 a.m. EST. “She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”

Trump’s strong criticism of the media hosts came shortly after his social media director Dan Scavino also blasted the MSNBC personalities on his Twitter account.

“#DumbAsARockMika and lover #JealousJoe are lost, confused & saddened since @POTUS *realDonaldTrump stopped returning their calls! Unhinged,” Scavino tweeted prior to Trump’s rant.

The “bleeding” comment about Brzezinski comes nearly two years after Trump commented that former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly was visibly upset while moderating a GOP presidential candidate debate.

“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes,” Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon. “Blood coming out of her wherever.”

The remark triggered criticism from women, who said he was referring to the female host’s menstruating.

Trump’s tweets went up three minutes before “Morning Joe” concluded at 9 a.m., forcing the hosts to respond off live television.

With only a photo and no words, Brzezinski shared a photo of a Cheerios box that featured a child reaching for a piece of cereal. The box included the phrase, “Made for small hands.”
