Ceasefire? Morning Joe Again Ties Trump to ‘Monsters of History’
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 04/08/2026 8:21:15 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What better way for Morning Joe to mark the Iran ceasefire than by once again tying President Trump to the “monsters of history”?

On consecutive days, co-host Jonathan Lemire reached for the same loaded line. He first used it yesterday, reacting to Trump’s bellicose Truth Social post warning Iran of severe consequences. He rolled it out again today—clearly deciding it was too good not to reuse. This time, he escalated further, suggesting Trump’s rhetoric would leave a lasting “stain” not just on his presidency, but on the United States itself.

On Tuesday’s show, Lemire cited Trump’s threat-laden language—of the sort the president has long used as part of his negotiating style—and declared it “the kind of rhetoric we associate with people like Vladimir Putin, with Kim Jong-un, with the monsters of history.”

Not content to leave it there, Lemire returned to the phrase the very next morning.

Oil down $20 and DOW up 1000 and this idjit thinks he is a monster. Where do you think they would be without the cease fire?

Evil people like Joe Scarborough and his decadent , adultress wife did not come from a political vacuum. They are part of the neo pagan, hedonistic decadence that is the Democratic Party. a significant percentage of the American people share their horrid values and are the core of the Democratic Party. The reality is that Trump leads a politically divided country. There no longer exists a consensus of commonly held decent values that would be the bais of support to support any just war or purpose.

I had to look this guy up. Graduated Columbia. Nothing in his background other than journalism. Typical ivyfag, who knows nothing about how the world around him works, yet is certain their perspective is correct

After 47 years for idle threats from successive American administrations Trump needed to convey to the Iranian theocracy that he was serious, dead serious. Hence the over the top style threats. Call it illuminating the present while divorcing the dark past.

It’s nearly inexplicable how some people can be so ignorant yet think of themselves as brilliant.

Why drag that in? That was not a threat to us. That is a regional conflict.

Thank you for mentioning Joe Scarborough’s decadent, adulteress wife. He himself is a lecherous adulterer, engaging in filthy libertine practices while still married to his previous wife.

But he in fact is also a cuckold, who enjoys watching others take advantage of his current “wife”. And she, of course, is very willing to oblige. /spit
