What does "MSDNC" stand for? Google search leads to MSNBC and Acronym Finder found no matches for it. Based on Trump's past tweets, I guess it might stand for MS-Do-Nothing Company. Am I correct?

Based on this Wikipedia article (scroll down to "Organisations"), it's his nickname for "MSNBC" (news channel). I believe the "DNC" part of it stands for Democratic National Committee, so I take it to mean that he is suggesting that NBC is a supporter of the Democrats (and therefore anti-Trump, who is a Republican).

I'm very ready to be put right by one of our American friends here. I might have misunderstood the Wikipedia article as it only explains the "MSNBC" part but not what "DNC" stands for.

I'm very sorry to say this, but you are exactly right. The President of the United States really does use this kind of juvenile jab.

That's exactly how I read it. You beat me to it.
