An extraordinary first half-hour of Morning Joe today. The thesis was that President Trump had gotten off on a seriously bad foot by failing to look back at history in his inauguration speech, sending a first and ungracious tweet about the Women’s Marches, sending Sean Spicer out to berate the press over crowd-size reporting, and above all for a self-referential, boastful, angry speech, referencing crowd size, given while standing in front of the wall of fallen heroes at the CIA.
And the message, delivered repeatedly and in the starkest terms, by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, was that those aides who abetted President Trump, who counseled him to adopt a combative tone, should be fired and leave immediately. View the video to see the myriad ways in which Joe and Mika pummeled the presidential aides who did not advise President Trump to moderate his remarks.

Did President Trump make a mistake by getting into a spat over crowd size, and by his speech at CIA?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
We, the People; are S-I-C-K of a ‘moderate’ tone.
Last I looked, Mika & Joe, Trump has NOT hired you as advisors....
Trump is outperforming Tom Brady so far, in my opinion.
“Did President Trump make a mistake by getting into a spat over crowd size, and by his speech at CIA?”
Yep. Trump has shown remarkably bad judgment all along. His poll numbers are bound to crater and Cruz is going to win. /src
My thought: a presidency that can be goaded by the MSM into eating its own so quickly will make itself vulnerable to being pushed around. The French Revolution became a disaster when it start devouring its own children.
The medie telling Pesident Trunp how to run the country? This from a group whose approval and trust rating is less than Conress!
GFY!
The crowd size was a trap set by the MSM. He ought to have either ignored it or made a counter statement that with the bad weather and all the leftist protestors in DC, it affected the crowd size. Our country’s law and order is out of whack.
I hope everyone realizes that it’s not about the numbers but the insult to the attendees.It was a deliberate attempt to dismiss his supporters and it’s typical of the lies of omission the media practice everyday.
I think the president was talking to me and I LOVED his words. Dry your tears snowflakes, there is a real man in the White House. Get used to it.
Congress
How do you do it? You are ALWAYS right on the mark.
Wht in the hell are people paying attention to these idiots, covering it in the media and why the hell is it being posted here?
IGNORE THEM.
America’s managed press is on full display. They have been handed their copy by the DNC for so long, that they just can’t imagine that they would have to defend their statements in an arena that they don’t control. Where their threats are met with incendiary retorts rather than cowering subservience. There is a new paradigm and it will be well worth the popcorn to watch them get paper trained.
They may believe it is a trap - but Trump knows that small lies become big lies and they have done this to republicans for years.. He is going to battle them on every distortion or untruth. He is tough enough to win that war and with the support of those who are tired of the same on PC government bullshit he will get this country on the right track.
You have to choose your battles, and in this case, I don’t think Trump chose wisely. Or at least the right tone. I think it would have been better if Sean Spicer had been a little bit less angry.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t push back hard against the media. I’m just not sure that this particular instance was the best choice of battle field.
From Joe and Mika ( daughter of the national security advisor to LBJ and Jimmy Carter)
Hey Trump Aides.
Your guy and you won.
Bigly
We on the other hand, lost
Bigly
Therefore we demand that you leave!
I’m a big fan of Trump as president, but you can really tell a lot about a guy by the way he reacts to inconsequential, meaningless sh!t.
