I would just first like to point out that if Trump thinks he is hurting Michelle Wolf's career in any way by going after her on Twitter he is dead wrong.
She is launching a
new show on Netflix, and she has just gone from a comedian that only a few people know about, to a national figure who is the subject of tweets by the president of the United States.
There is no way this hurts her professionally.
And that goes for the attacks by the conservatives, and some self identified "liberals," as well.
Which by the way are completely without merit.

Vulture:
As soon as Michelle Wolf finished delivering her blistering White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast of the Trump administration and the members of the press that cover it, she was, not surprisingly, criticized for much of what she said. Oddly, however, a lot of that criticism zeroed in on something that Michelle Wolf did not actually say: a joke about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s appearance.
The two jokes that seemed to irk critics were her Handmaid’s Tale dig — “I have to say I’m a little starstruck. I love you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale” — and the aforementioned line about Sanders’s smoky eye, which went like this: “I actually really like Sarah. I think she’s very resourceful. She burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.”
Somehow this was misconstrued to be an attack on Huckabee Sander's appearance, which it clearly was not.
In stead it was an attack on her honesty, which, let's face it, was more than appropriate.
However both conservatives and some in the media spouted their faux outrage all over Twitter.
And of course Mika Brzezinski also had to give her two cents.
All of this seemed to puzzle Michelle Wolf who responded with this:
Exactly.
Look if you are a conservative then misrepresenting the facts and participating in faux outrage is kinda what you do.
But if you are supposed to be a "journalist" of some kind you are expected to adhere to the facts, and there were several media types who failed to meet that expectation.
And like I said all of this does nothing but help Michelle Wolf's career, and ensure that when her Netflix show drops on May 27 that it will have a lot more folks tuned in.
So keep it up conservatives (And Mika Brzezinski) cause all it does is put money in her pockets.
