Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMorning Joe this morning. They are really letting Trump have it.
When they finally brought up his name, it was with their heads down and pure disgust on their faces.
They put his tweets up on the screen, read them out loud and shook their heads.
Frank Bruni said Trump is tweeting about receiving "congrats". He said about Trump, "He's taking a victory lap on the bodies of 50 people...nice." (sarcasm).
They are absolutely trashing him and his "Muslim ban" and calling out all RePubs to stand up and speak on it.
Mika says to the RePubs in Washington, "Speak the truth!"

(31,811 posts)They were 'part' of the Trump Rise. Too little, too late.
Tomorrow they will be bowing down to him.

@Morning_Joe Joe really needs to get his alcoholism under control! The show is starting to suffer. #trump

(4,762 posts)He is basically blowing what could be his biggest chance at pivoting toward seeming "presidential" because he has no filter or self-control.

(53,410 posts)Obviously Trump doesn't have it in him. He therefore has no clue about what it is since there's not a drop of Presidential manners in him.
It's tantamount to asking him to act like a real Chinaman or a Mexican. Any attempt on his part would just be to act out his racist stereotypes.
He has no concept of what Presidential is. None.

(7,768 posts)Only came up on one site and then it was gone. They deleted it, I guess!
It was pretty harsh even for Donald! lol
oberliner
(58,724 posts)It's still there on the parody account (Donald T. Trump).
Interestingly the person who created the fake Trump account seems to be a Gary Johnson supporter.

(7,768 posts)Man, you do your homework! Good sleuthing and good job!
I wonder, could Scar take any action to have that fake tweet removed that calls him an alcoholic? Or could Trump?
oberliner
(58,724 posts)There are several fake Trump accounts on Twitter that are quite amusing!

Hillary Clinton is coming up live for an interview.

(61,694 posts)She told him, " Everyone has known and said there would be another attack like this. Why are you congratulating yourself for predicting what everyone else has been predicting?"
He's on Today, HRC is on MJoe.

(82,849 posts)Trump just calls in to 30 Rock (or, more likely, Savannah's or Matt's personal cell phone) and hey presto! he's on the air. I hope Matt Lauer was standing by in his Western Union cap, ready to deliver any messages that Mr. Trump wanted to send.
What the hell is it with Trump being allowed to appear on the air by telephone? Time for NBC to admit that it has a problem, and that it is powerless when it comes to Trump.

(1,237 posts)Trump wouldn't be where he's at without NBC and the Today show. This is a network that promoted his university while knowing it was a fraud! From Cosby to Trump, their only concern is protecting their product.
Ilsa
(61,694 posts)I just don't know if it was before or after Dunce Trump.
Ilsa
(61,694 posts)Quickly switched to hammering HRC, saying she's "weak", etc. Then he blamed Pres. Obama.

(175,731 posts)The one that Today used was from a different angle. Interesting that they used the gray hair one.
Thanks!

(15,859 posts)Of course, any amount of "presentable" he projects evaporates when he opens his mouth, but... I'd like to know the reasoning as well.
greatauntoftriplets
(175,731 posts)Now if he would just lose the hair and face dye, he'd look less like a talking yam.
Of course, I'd still NEVER vote for him.

(7,768 posts)A majority of the people posting are Trumpeteers.
They are complaining that Savannah was MEAN to poor Donald in her interview with him. MEAN because how dare she ask him questions that weren't fair! It's pretty sad to behold.

(41 posts)I cant even watch that show. They are one of the main reasons that trump is doing as well as he is. They give him constant coverage and are desperate to get trump or christie on the show when ever humanly possible. I guess im just in shock that on a democratic website, people would be referencing a republican host like Scarborough in anything other than a negative light...even a neutral light is too much benefit to give him

(19,833 posts)It's partly 'hate-watching' and I suspect a lot of us, like myself, turn it off when the BS gets out of control. But if your blood pressure can handle it there's a lot of good content there on the average day-- interesting interviews, a broader range of opinion than you might imagine, and, at least when Scar's there, it seems to be where the RW talking points for the day get rolled out for a test drive.

(7,768 posts)There are usually some guests on the show that I am interested in listening to.
Sometimes, I get on the Morning Joe Facebook page and have fun posting.
I've found some regular posters there that I deliberately seek out. (like-minded)
There are some very good discussions that go on.

(3,867 posts)Alcoholic is one of his favs, along with loser, crazy, crooked, lying, disgsting. He said Weld was an alcoholic. We are all going to become alcoholics if we have to listen to him much longer. He sounds better if you are drunk.
flim flam don needs to improve on his insults "bigly".
