OK for Mika Brenzski to bash Trump in the most unprofessional of terms.

But it's not OK for Trump to respond.
Trump responded with a vicious attack on her appearance!!!!!

It is only in Trumpworld where conduct that would get you suspended from elementary school is acceptable from the President of the USA. Talk about low expectations.

Your choice.
Anchor on TV isn't remotely the same as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I don't agree re: MSNBC. It's no more or less trashy than any other news outlet, including the internet ones that everyone loves to claim are accurate because they align with their views or whatever.

You wouldn't expect your CEO to call out your boss's looks in response to a criticism of his performance? Or why is this hard to understand that roles with higher responsibility = higher accountability and expectations.
Speaking of, I bet you won't get a response for this post.

Is what you say based on actually seeing them in a personal setting like at home or just what you've seen on social media and tv with all the makeup and hair done up by stylists?

My uncle is a plastic surgeon, he said a lot of women go through plastic surgery in order to feel more youthful, and beautiful. They do it for themselves and their confidence.

Honestly speaking, her facelift is something personal to her. It should never be brought up or discussed in public. A good man won't touch that subject.

Exactly true. Cable news has mostly become infotainment, has been that way for several decades. Just follow the $$$ that is what journalism has become.

Trying to draw some parallel between the standards of behavior for an infotainment anchor and a President is mind boggling.

Illogical. Nope.

The argument is that you hold two standards. One for Trump, and one for the News Media that bashes him constantly. i.e. OK if the News Media bashes Trump, but not OK for Trump to return fire. You justify it with the "opinion" that the President should know better.

I've never argued that you can't hold whatever opinion you want. But your criticism of Trump ring's hollow when you take this approach.

What is the big deal? I think they look lovely. It doesn't mean I agree with them or anything. For middle aged couple, they look great.

Then why the outrage if "cable news" isn't any better than say WWE wrestling match?
