Morning Joe Goes Crazy Over Trump ‘Bigger Button’ Tweet: “Demented, Deranged, Narcissistic Disorder”

New Year’s Eve fireworks are over, but things were still exploding on the Morning Joe set today. Namely, the collective heads of the panel members.

An episode of mass hysteria broke out over President Trump’s tweet that warned Kim Jong Un, in response to his threat, that Trump has a “much bigger and more powerful” button than Kim’s, and that “my button works.”

First up was Mike Barnicle, who fretted over Trump’s “stability.” Next was John Heilemann, describing Trump as “demented and deranged.” Not to be outdone, Jon Meacham diagnosed Trump with a “narcissistic disorder,” while calling for an “intervention“—a 25th Amendment removal being never far from the liberal noggin.

Morning Joe’s mass hysteria over Trump “bigger button” tweet. Sad!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Joe wasn’t there today, but the panel honored his tradition of hysterics over Trump.

I KNEW I'd seen that face before.

He is an excellent banjo player.

Geezy—Trump breaks wind and the media loses its mind.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

These poor folks — it must be miserable to stumble through life so humor impaired, so clueless, joyless, and utterly lacking in a sense humor.

“Demented, Deranged, Narcissistic Disorder”

Then again, maybe he's just f*#2ing with Kim Jong-Un - playing mind games with the little asshat.

Happy New Year GLGB!

They take themselves so seriously, don’t they? Ya wonder if they will ever wake up or continue to make themselves more irrelevant by the hour.

Expression of facts of reality is not deranged, denial of them is.

Back when Don Imus was on MSNBC he used to call Morning Joe “Banjo Boy.”

[Thibodeaux]

He was an actor. I think the actual banjo player was Earl Scruggs

[Red Steel]

That’s good bwahaahaa...

[Ouderkirk]

Trump is the master at trolling...

This tweak is exactly that....just messin’ with rocket boy.

Thanks, capydick: Happy New Year to you!

I hate it when people tell me to “calm down.” But in this case, taking a deep breath would be good advice for the hyperventilating Morning Joe panel!

Our media plays the same gamesmanship with Trump, but actually pressing their button as fast and furious as they can to demonstrate. And yet Trump remains and we are only one year in.

Someone needs to redo the scene in "The Last Jedi" by putting Trump in the targeted spot. Any more than that would be a spoiler though. :)

...he’s been off the “deep end” so much their starting to call him Yo-Yo

[moovova]

Really Joe? Trump may’ve bragged about grabbing “puxxy”...at least he didn’t leave a dead “puxxy” laying in his office.

And you call Trump deranged?

The Donald should start making fun of Rocket Boy Kim’s crazy haircut. This would be fun! I suppose then Kim would call him The Orange Man like loony libs like to.

I think some back and forth putdowns could let off some steam and tensions and defuse the situation somewhat.

AND lil Kim is not crazy. He just wants to bribed and paid off. Trump should call it what it is. A shakedown like Jesse Jackson used to me master of. Dittos fo Al Sharpton.
