In reply to the discussion: Joe Scarborough's opinion piece in WP took me by surprise. [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)This is getting old, the rounds of people claiming that Joe Scarborough helped get Trump elected. Uh...no. That's false.
Trump made the rounds, as did all candidates of significance, to the different talk shows. Including MJ. Joe cut him off end of 2015, I think it was, and refused to have him on, any more. Mainly the lies and the name calling, as I recall.
That's what later prompted Trump to tweet about Mika's cosmetic surgery ("blood all over her face" . He was mad at them for refusing to let him on their show again and then criticize him.
If you watched the show, you'd know all this. There's much, much more. MJ was helpful in pointing out Trump's huge flaws, since it was the #2 morning show in the country, watched by millions every day. Including me. I saw it all, or heard it, as I got ready for work.
