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.

I’ve mixed feelings on this. I think it’s vital for the administration to confront lies, distortions and assorted bs. I’m just not sure this was a battle worth having. Maybe a statement or two showing time-lapsed photo images and asking why the media weren’t accurate.
I like Spicer and expect him to grow into this...but save the combative tone for when it’s necessary - and it will be.
Trump...screw Mika & Joe...continue endlessly ripping the “political” heart & soul out of the Obama/Clinton hate “America” media and the Obama......”Traitor” Democrat Party!!! We must all work feverishly to totally destroy the entire Democrat Party in the upcoming 2018 mid-term, elections!!
And....Cailiformia, New York, Pensylvania, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, etc. need their voter rolls cleansed with the removal of dead folks and hundreds of thousands of illegal registered Democrat voters. How the heck do you think the POTUS vote in Califonia & New York was so one sided???
One of the many reason the Hildabeast lost to Trump...is that she and her Democrat vote cheats.....were convinced they had enough illegal votes cast to beat Trump!!! These voting rolls must be cleansed...like right now!!!
“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.”
Wrong. Trump did the right thing by condemning the lying media. I expect him to do this each & every time they lie about something & I will applaud him each time he does so.
Mika and her lap dog Joe have no idea who (if anyone at all) counseled the president on this issue or what kind of advice he may or may not have received.
Haven’t they noticed that Donald Trump has some pretty strong ideas of what he wants to say and do and why?
They said after he came down the escalator and announced his candidacy that he would have to change and moderate before the debates...he didn't.
Then they said he would have to change and moderate before the primaries...he didn't.
Then they said he would have to change and moderate before the convention....he didn't
Then they said he would have to change and moderate before the general election...he didn't
Now they are all SHOCKED, that President Trump is still exactly the same as candidate Trump that came down the escalator two years ago and he hasn't changed or moderated in the least!
George W Bush was hammered by the press for eight years and did not fight back. They destroyed his presidency in the end.
TRUMP FIGHTS BACK!
Trump is unhappy with Spicer’s performance (also his ill-fitting suit).
No, but thanks for asking.
I agree with you, SE Mom.
Please be quiet, losers are sleeping nearby in their Matrix pods. Much better to yell out that the oceans have stopped rising cause you are king.
Not all that inconsequential when the zer0 pic was at noon or close to and the Trump pic was at 9 am with concerted entry-blocking going on. Weather was bad and people were spooked by the advance PR of violence.
He cannot give an inch, ever, on anything or they will use it as a fingerhold to claw any sort of division they can. I guarantee if one aide is fired for something like this, the MSM will howl that Trump supporters can’t trust a man who turns on his staff.
Joe and Mika....two talking anuses.
Let's see ...
1. The media distorts the facts about the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration, and Trump calls them out on it.
2. SNL writer Katie Rich sends a Twitter message that Barron Trump is going to become the country's "first homeschool shooter," and I have seen no reaction at all from Trump.
This doesn't sound like a guy who has his priorities in order, does it?
Reminds me of a story.
Dinner at home, and the family had a guest.
The guest starts off by asking if he can have the father's dinner roll. The father let's him have it, thinking it's inconsequential and meaningless.
Then the guy asks for the father's mashed potatoes. Again, he let's the guy take it.
Then the guy asks for the father's steak. At this point, the father says, "Hey, why do you keep taking ALL MY FOOD?".
The man responds, "you should have stopped me at taking your dinner roll".
Trump could have made note of the TV and Internet viewing audience, and commented "Well, it's unlikely I would have matched Obama's numbers. After all, my supporters have jobs they are supposed to be at."
Give liberal media an inch, liberal media will take a mile.
>> I don’t think Trump chose wisely <<
IBTZ?
It is not meaningless and inconsequential to be lied about. If it was, the left wouldn’t do it.
As long as he wins it isn’t a mistake. Every victory over the media keeps the truth about them and their ways in the cycle.
