Mika and fiance Joe Scarborough, 54, host the Morning Joe show which has been critical of him.

Mr Trump tweeted: “I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore).

“Then how come low IQ Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago (Trump’s Florida estate) 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!”

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said: “Mr President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America.”

Adrienne Watson, of the Democratic National Committee, said the tweets were “an attack on women everywhere”.

US channel MSNBC, which shows Morning Joe, added: “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.”

A statement for Trump last night said he would push back ten times harder when attacked.
