If you don't like the show, then why be upset that Trump expresses his dislike too, and he, unlike you, are a target of their unfair attacks.

So, they're wasting their tithe. They're going straight to hell. But hey, whatever makes them happy.

They're only against Bill Clinton's adultery. Donald Trump's adultery is OK.
I'm a Christian and am very moderate. I also live in the south which is Trump country. I voted for Kasich in the primary. I concur with what you all are saying though. Trump is a mess and it's surprising such devout evangelical Christians are supporting him. I have to say the things that mater most to conservative evangelicals are anti- abortion, safety from refugees and guns. All are high on Trumps list.

You are exactly correct, WWIII is not going to break out over what Trump tweeted about Morning Joe. The problem is that Trump has shown that he can be easily manipulated into anger, and has virtually no brake between his brain and his mouth/fingers.

What could happen is that a two-bit dictator somewhere in the world yanks Trump's chain in order to goad him into a shooting war, or something else equally stupid. That's the problem. That's why this behavior is unacceptable for the Commander in Chief.

But I think you knew that.

You seem to think I'm "hurt" on Mika's behalf or something. I wouldn't care if Ann Coulter said that to Mika, or Hannity, or you, or heck even Don Jr. They can say whatever they want because they represent no one else but themselves. THE PRESIDENCY is a 24/7 job where he speaks for the entire American people. I may not agree with everything he has to say, but I innately respect him because of the dignity of the office. I am disappointed that dignity was not honored by this tweet.

Nope. You apparently think it is OK for the Anchor on a Major News Channel to make these statements about the President of the United states.

If you have a standard of behavior for the Office of the Presidency, then it should be the same whether it's the person sitting in the chair, or those News Anchors reporting about what he does.

This is not that.

Mika Brzezinski Called President Trump: Narcissist, Ignorant, Stupid, Mentally Ill, etc - In Less Than a Minute

You have a straw man argument.

Sure it is. The White House earlier confirmed that Donald Trump's tweets are official statements and communications from the White House. The President, acting is his official capacity, threatened and harassed private citizens. It is an abuse of power.

How do you know he was angry? That is your assumption. So your point fails.

You are trying to justify your straw man argument.

i.e. It's OK for News Anchors on major MSM New Networks to bash Trump in the most unprofessional of manners, but it's not OK for him to respond with a simple tweet. It's a double standard for sure.
Do you work for Trump? Is he your relative?
I've never seen one person so invested in fighting for someone who doesn't even know/care they exist.

Poor baby, Trump? Is that your argument?

Trump is bully in every sense of the word. Physical attributes are his favorite target.

He deserves every bit the criticism he receives. Trump isn't strong. He is showing himself to be weak and feckless.

So cry and whine about the unfair press because your little baby Trump can't take the pressures of the presidency and the consequences of his pathetic conduct.

Angry? Stupid? Vindictive? Emotionally unstable? Not matter what the underlying motivation or reason, it teaches the world one thing; poke a stick at Donald Trump and you will get a reaction. That is a weakness not a strength. Your arguments take you further and further out onto a very thin limb don't they?
