Trump Twitter-Trashes Scarborough, One of His Biggest Media Defenders

Donald Trump took to Twitter this afternoon to insult one of his biggest media defenders.
Who? None other than Joe Scarborough.
For some context here, while Scarborough has been critical of Trump and said yesterday he cant vote for The Donald unless he changes his tune, he has gone out of his way to not only defend Trump (and offer him advice), but has expressed a not-so-thinly-veiled contempt for Trumps critics and has taunted people for suggesting hes in the tank.
National Reviews Jonah Goldberg explained it thusly this week in a column titled How Morning Joe Morphed into Mean Girls:

The Morning Joe crowd and others hide behind their transitory and evanescent criticisms of Trump as proof they are being objective, all the while insisting that such criticisms are irrelevant because Trump is the fleshy manifestation of an Idea Whose Time Has Come.
Hell, Trump himself called Scarborough a supporter.
But even though Scarborough defended him against Paul Ryan today, its possible Trump was still a little sore about his declaration yesterday:

"Joe Scarborough initially endorsed Jeb Bush and Jeb crashed, then John Kasich and that didn't work. Not much power or insight!"
