Donald Trump is many things, but when discussing the attacks he levels via social media, “complicated” isn’t one of them. When the President fails to get satisfaction from companies as he posts such criticism, the natural next step is to ask to see a manager.

For Trump, of course, the targets tend to be a little different. So in expressing his anger over the way he gets covered by MSNBC, the liberal-leaning cable-news channel, he frequently starts by going after the talent, a la Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid, before escalating his complaints higher and higher up the food chain.
