Trump goes to war with MSNBC’s Morning Joe
President Donald Trump viciously tore into Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski in Thursday morning tweets for trash talking him on their show.
Trump sent the tweets minutes before the end of the engaged duo’s MSNBC program, cutting down on their ability to respond immediately on air.
‘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!’

There Morning Joe hosts were seen at Trump’s Palm Beach resort on New Year’s Eve – but Scarborough has said they were not there to party.
‘Partied? You’re very good at pushing fake news. You should write for CNN. Apparently making up facts is fine if you’re writing about us,’ he told a CBS reporter who’d covered Trump on the trail and was transitioning into a culture writer role at the New York Times.
The reporter, Sopan Deb, had shared a screen grab of a New York Times article describing the festivities at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club that evening.
It mentioned a red carpet and poolside cocktail party. ‘Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were also there,’ it said.
Deb assessed in a tweet: ‘Morning Joe’s hosts partied with Trump last night at Mar-A-Lago. Last year, Trump publicly thanked them for support.’
Thursday’s Morning Joe opened up with an audio recording of Sen. John McCain being asked if a health care deal was possible by the end of the week.
‘Pigs could fly’ the Republican senator said.
To which Brzezinski opened the show snarking, ‘Oh, so you’re saying there’s a chance,’ channeling the movie ‘Dumb and Dumber.’
She snickered that Senate Republicans were faced with an ‘awful prospect’ – working with Democrats.
‘It’s really something, they’re going to have to work with Democrats, like what a horrible idea, they’re going to have to work with Democrats,’ Scarborough inserted.
Brzezinski suggested that Senate Republicans should find it easier than working with President Trump.
‘Who undermines them, slams them, says bad things about them. Just for fun. To bully them, throw them under the bus, make up new plans, have Rose Garden ceremonies, humiliate them. I mean, could it be worse?’ she said.
‘Why don’t you work with Democrats,’ she insisted.
Scarborough then added that Trump ‘doesn’t understand any of the policy.’
‘No clue,’ Brzezinski said.
