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 has made a habit of [attacking media outlets](http://fortune.com/2017/06/28/donald-trump-twitter-jeff-bezos/) and [singling out female reporters](http://fortune.com/2017/06/28/donald-trump-female-reporters/), often for their appearance. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/880408582310776832) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/880410114456465411) Brzezinski issued a subtle response on Twitter, tweeting an image that referenced a long-running joke about the size of Trump’s hands — something Trump himself infamously and crudely weighed in on during a Republican presidential debate last year. > [](https://twitter.com/morningmika/status/880415526371176448) “Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, ‘it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States,’” Mark Kornblau, spokesperson for NBCUniversal News Group, said in a [tweet](https://twitter.com/MarkKornblau/status/880420278416941057). MSNBC called it a “sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying.” > [](https://twitter.com/gerryfsmith/status/880425003904368643) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4838899/donald-trump-twitter-morning-joe-mike-brzezinski/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4838899/donald-trump-twitter-morning-joe-mike-brzezinski/"},"headline":"Trump Said 'Crazy' Mika Brzezinski Got a Face Lift.
