I've reported him no less than a hundred times. @twitter simply doesn't care. @jack is indifferent.— Tom Wellborn (@TomWellborn) June 29, 2017
Trump took aim at both Brzezinski and her "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough after they criticized him on the air, but reserved a particularly personal attack for Brzezinski alone.

Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!" Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.
Twitter policy says it doesn't tolerate "behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user's voice."
A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment to the Washington Examiner about the number of abuse reports for Trump's account.
