Here's Mika Brzezinski's perfectly wordless response to Trump's sexist tweets about her
Shortly after President Trump viciously attacked Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter on Thursday morning, Brzezinski tweeted out this picture of a Cheerios box:
No caption was necessary, as the "little hands" line on the Cheerios box was clearly directed at Trump, who has long defended the size of his hands. (Yes, really.) So sensitive is Trump about his hands that after a jab from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) about his "small hands," Trump took a moment at a Republican presidential debate to address the size of his hands and reassure everyone that "there's no problem" with the scale of those appendages, or any others.
Brzezinski's subtle quip about Trump's hands came after the deeply personal insults the president publicly leveled against the co-host earlier that morning on Twitter. Trump called Brzezinski "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and her fiancé and co-host, Joe Scarborough, "Psycho Joe."

Trump claimed that Brezezinski and Scarborough had "insisted" on joining him at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago for "three nights in a row around New Year's Eve." "She was bleeding badly from a face-lift," Trump tweeted about Brzezinski. "I said no!"
