Donald Trump took to Twitter where he slammed the co-hosts of Morning Joe – Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.
For the past few weeks, the co-hosts of Morning Joe have been bashing Mr. Trump for his countless gaffes, his insults towards minorities, women, and for taking the Republican Party to the mud.
Brzezinski has been pleading with GOP heads like chairperson of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell to dump Trump and replace him with Mike Pence at the top of the ticket.
Mr. Scarborough even wrote a poignant piece in The Washington Post where he gave all the reasons in the world his party should get rid of the billionaire. He wrote:
“The Muslim ban, the David Duke denial, the “Mexican” judge flap, the draft dodger denigrating John McCain’s military service, the son of privilege attacking an immigrant Gold Star mother and the constant revisionism and lying about past political positions taken are but a few of the lowlights that have punctuated Donald Trump’s chaotic chase for the presidency.”
It is a drastic switch from the primaries when Brzezinski and Scarborough were getting very comfortable with the real estate mogul and set up lists of easy questions for him. During the interviews, the pair would often shower Trump, his wife, and his children with compliments.
However, as stated above, all of that has changed, and Trump has stopped appearing on the morning program, and a war of words has been brewing. In the early hours of Monday morning, Trump took the personal insults to another level, with a series of tweets where he said:
Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!

Scarborough replied by saying, can someone change Trump’s Twitter password?
Neurotic and not very bright?
