United States President Donald Trump refuse to give up.

Despite days of bipartisan criticism over his initial attacks on the pair earlier this week, Trump resumed his attack on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-hosts, calling Joe Scarborough "crazy" and Mika Brzezinski "dumb as a rock."

"Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses. Too bad!" Trump tweeted on Saturday morning.

Earlier, Trump attacked on the hosts Thursday after he slammed Brzezinski's intellect, questioned her sanity and mocked her appearance.

"I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. 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 series of tweets.

The attack invited the wrath of many politicos and legislators, citing that such a move was unbecoming of the position Trump holds.

Later, Scarborough and Brzezinski responded to Trump's attacks with an opinion piece in The Washington Post titled "Donald Trump is not well."

During their Friday "Morning Joe" broadcast, Scarborough and Brzezinski again accused Trump and his White House of using the possibility of a hit piece in the National Enquirer to threaten them and change their news coverage.
