I missed the 6am hr so I'm just finding out about it now.
They said to him that they'll work with him if he works with them.
Morning Joe is *dead* to me.

(25,528 posts)They claimed they weren't going to "normalize" him. However, the minute they say anything critical about him, they'll get their access to him cut off (or arrested).
Of course they're going to "normalize" him.

MJ is making it known to Trump that He is not "Wallace." Many more will be shouting out, "I'm Not Wallace."
I will not be one of them, I am Wallace. Fuck Putin/Musk/Trump/Magats

(2,829 posts)On December 31, 2016, they attended Trump's New Year's Eve partying at Mar-a-Lago. They met with Trump privately and asked for positions in his administration. Joey wanted a cabinet position and MEka wanted to be Press Secretary. Trump said no. They left the party early feeling betrayed after all the positive coverage they gave him during the campaign (as well as their regular trashing of Hillary Clinton) and vowed revenge which led to the last 8 years of negative coverage of Trump.
Now that is all rumor and unverified other than a Trump tweet where he stated, 'they asked to join me and I said no', but it was told to be by a friend who worked at NBC News at the time. https://www.npr.org/2017/06/29/534870656/trumps-graphic-insult-of-cable-host-crosses-a-line-for-many
As far as their recent meeting, this is just an assumption on my part, but Joey has always wanted to run for the Senate from Florida. He might be hoping to run for Rubio's seat and wants Trump's backing to do it.

(2,843 posts)Notice Joe let Mika do the talking. Usually Mr. Buttinski wont let her get a word in edgewise. I hope the few people that have been watching will stop their self abuse. It looks like these two are floundering for an audience. News flash, crawling up the @$$ of a liar, a thief, a felon, a rapist, and killer of democracy in one fell swoop is the wrong direction. Say hi to Putin for us.

(1,406 posts)I haven't watched news, cable or otherwise, since the election. I cannot stomach looking at his face and hearing his voice is worse. I wonder how the other hosts are reacting to this news. For those of you who have strong stomachs please keep us non watchers informed.

Morning Joes Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski normalizing Donald Trump after meeting with him at Mar-a-Lago on Friday. This is how we got President Trump the first time. They learned nothing.
