What media people don’t seem to understand! All of us are gunning for the country to meet in the middle where the two parties come together. Rather than the left (Joe/Mika) used President Trump when they lost their listening base and now they are bashing him so their ratings increase.

We are all one country in good times and bad. Mika and Joe should set an example and try to work the left’s opinion to help pull the wagon instead of bashing a problem which the President is trying to fix which was caused by the left. It takes time to put all of the wheels back on the buggy which was caused by the left. DOGE proved how corrupt the left was – so why do these two keep trying to attach their star to it?

They used the President in their time of need and now – look at them.

And – as AI would respond:

• So we are left with a see-saw.
• Spencer appeals alternately to the” instability of the homogeneous “and the impossibility of complete equilibration to keep up the cosmic see-saw, but he can do so only by confining himself to a part of the universe.

These two are disgusting.

Morning Joe‘s ratings for April (up to 04/25/25) have seen an average of 749,000 total viewers and 65,000 demo viewers. This is up +7% among total viewers and +10% in the demo compared to March.

This increase in viewers comes after Morning Joe faced backlash in November following Trump’s election victory. Many viewers hit out at hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski following their meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which they reasoned was done because it was “time to do something different.”

“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump but also talking with him,” Brzezinski said at the time. “For those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn’t we? Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country.”

Now back to their bashing:

President Donald Trump is lashing out at Morning Joe—again.

On Thursday morning, the president, whose history with the show includes a decade of breakups and makeups, accused host Joe Scarborough of a “Major Campaign Violation” for critiquing his approach to placing tariffs on Chinese goods.

The post came just minutes after the MSNBC show ran a segment discussing the president’s recent comment that he’s considering cutting tariffs on Chinese goods to 80 percent from the current rate of 145 percent.

Scarborough said he believes Trump’s handling of the tariffs is “all showbiz,” advising viewers not to panic about changing tariff rates because “It’s all symbolism. It’s all getting where he wants to get, a month from now, two months from now, or six months from now.”

“I just don’t think the details right now matter,” said Scarborough of Trump’s fluctuating rates. “This is the start of a symbolic process.”

Scarborough’s guests, NBC business analyst Stephanie Ruhle and New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, gave similar assessments. Sorkin said that he wouldn’t be surprised to see the American and Chinese governments acting “like everything is fine and they love each other,” when in reality, a trade deal will likely take months or even years to iron out.Related video: ‘Retreat’: Trump stares into ‘abyss’ as trade war ‘morass’ forces embarrassing concession (MSNBC)

Ruhle then said the president was “backed into a corner” and “looking for an exit” because his tariffs “aren’t working.” Both guests agreed with Scarborough’s theory that the tariffs on China may face significant changes in the coming weeks as the president attempts to recover from his drastic initial approach.

Just 19 minutes after the Morning Joe segment, Trump took to Truth Social for a typo-riddled rant in which he claimed MSNBC, which he called “the worst there is on Television misrepresentation,” was conducting a “Major Campaign Violation” in its coverage of him.

He also took aim at Ruhle, who he said “was never known as a “High IQ” person.”

“I just watched an exhausted, highly neurotic Stephanie Ruhle spew LIES about Tariffs, as do many others, in order not to give me the Victory that they all see coming,” he posted on Truth Social. “Few people know Stephanie Ruhle, but I do, and she doesn’t have what it takes. Our Deal with the United Kingdom yesterday was AMAZING for both Countries and, in addition to everything else, British Airways just ordered $10 Billion Dollars worth of new Boeing planes.”

Trump also accused the network of being “nothing less than an arm of the Democrat National Committee,” and said, “their untruths are incredible, real losers.”

Of course, MSNBC is not a branch of the Democratic National Committee, the opinions of its hosts are not statements on behalf of the DNC or a particular campaign, and comments like Scarborough’s are protected under the First Amendment. But none of those tidbits stopped Trump from calling for the network’s head. “Their ratings are down the tubes,” wrote the president, “but that pressure on them doesn’t give them the right to lie and cheat!”

I call this “back-stabbing or use and abuse.”
