“Stop. Just Stop,” read the entire piece on “Trump’s Tweets” published in Friday’s edition of the newspaper.

Trump labeled Scarborough a “psycho” and Brzezinski “crazy” in tweets posted on Thursday, before going on to claim that Mika was “bleeding badly from a face lift” when she was at his Florida resort around New Year’s 2016.
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 comments, considered by many to be unpresidential at best, were defended by both the White House and First Lady Melania Trump as reasonable retaliation for the Morning Joe presenters’ coverage.
