The many “victims†of the president’s tweets

During the relatively dead news cycle between Christmas and New Years, most media outlets choose to burn up some space with retrospectives on the year that’s ending. Politico is no exception, and one of their features this week was dedicated to people who had found themselves engaged in Twitter feuds with the President, with an eye toward how well they had “survived†the encounter. They chose to highlight Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, Kathy Griffin, Alan Dershowitz, John Podesta and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
Rather than a series of survivor stories, most of these (with one notable exception) seem to be people who didn’t really come away as badly as the media might have liked to portray them. Take, for example, Mika Brzezinski. After the countless times when she has blatantly questioned the President’s sanity, fitness for office and moral character, it can’t have come as a surprise that the Donald Trump Twitter account would set its sights on her. You probably recall the inflammatory tweet about her having plastic surgery before she and Joe Scarborough visited Trump once in Florida. Turns out that she wasn’t all that put off.
