The 45th President of the United States of America has sent another worrying message to the world via Twitter.
Today it's not about collusion with Russia, or taking healthcare away from millions behind closed doors, or refusing to preserve our only planet.
Sadly, it's yet again about his relationship with the press.
He attacked the MSNBC show Morning Joe, hosted by Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist, which focuses on politics.

Which bodes awfully for international diplomatic relations with unstable countries, such as North Korea.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the personal attack by the President on a morning show host as follows:

And political figures across the aisle criticised the President:
Morning Joe host Mika made her view on the tweet clear:
Probably the best way to handle it.
An MSNBC spokesperson said:
It's a sad day for America when the President spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job.
Quite right.
