The rise and fall of Trump's relationship with Mika Brezinski, the 'Morning Joe' co-host he just attacked on Twitter

President Donald Trump made news on Thursday morning when he viciously attacked MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter, calling her "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and said she was "bleeding badly from a face-lift."

Brzezinski shot back at the president on Twitter, posting a photo of a box of Cheerios that showed a child reaching for the cereal with the words "Made For Little Hands" printed across it.

Trump has long taken issue with accusations that his hands are small. Brzezinski called the president's hands "teensy" during her show, "Morning Joe," on Thursday morning.

But Brzezinski and her co-host and fiance Joe Scarborough have not always had a contentious relationship with Trump. During the early stages of his candidacy, the hosts invited Trump on their show regularly, boosting his campaign.
