An administration spokeswoman on Thursday defended President Trump’s crude tweet about a female TV host — arguing that he was the real victim because of all the abuse he gets from the media.

“The president is pushing back against people who attack him day after day after day. Where is the outrage on that?” an unsmiling Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a briefing at the White House.

And she singled out Trump’s target, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, and her co-host Joe Scarborough, for launching personal attacks on Trump and others in the administration.

“The things that this show has called him, and not just him but numerous members of his staff, including myself and many others, are very deeply personal,“ she said, arguing that Trump was being treated unfairly compared to his predecessor.

“If this had happened in the previous administration, the type of attacks launched on this program, the things they say [about Trump]: ‘utterly stupid,’ ‘personality disorder,’ ‘mentally ill,’ constant personal attacks,” she griped.

“The rest of the media would have said, ‘Guys, no way. Hold on.’ But nobody does that. But the president, he’s not going to step back. He’s showed that, and that’s exactly what he did today.”

Trump teed off on the “Morning Joe” hosts shortly after the show aired.

“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!” he wrote in a pair of tweets.

The comments sparked widespread, bipartisan condemnation.

During the show, Brzezinski said that “it’s not normal behavior” for a leader to tweet about people’s appearances.

If a corporate exec did the things Trump did, “There would be concern that perhaps the person who runs the company is out of his mind,” she said.
