Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski responded to President Trump’s early Tuesday morning tweet that called her a “psycho” and said the show had “lost all of its juice!”
Trump pointed to how Morning Joe helped him in the 2016 presidential election during the early stages of his candidacy.
Wow! Morning Joe & Psycho ratings have really crashed. Very small audience. People are tired of hearing Fake News delivered with an anger that is not to be believed. Sad, when the show was sane, they helped get me elected. Thanks! Was on all the time. Lost all of its juice!

“And right in there President Trump apparently is watching Morning Joe again. Donald, you really ought to find something else to do in the morning. It is just not healthy,” Brzezinski responded. “Tweeting about the show this morning saying that there is anger on the show. My anger? No, I’m not angry. Don’t worry, Donald, I’m not angry. I’m sad and disgusted when pathetic politicians don’t stand up to your racism. Your racism. They are too afraid to.”
Brzezinski then chastised North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows for not offering a stronger defense of his colleague, Maryland Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings, as he is in the middle of a feud with Trump over the conditions of his district in Baltimore.
“Let’s talk about Mark Meadows and how he is too busy sucking up to you than being the friend that Elijah Cummings was to him when he was called a racist during a hearing, about you by the way. And Mark Meadows cried like a baby when he was called a racist and had these crocodile tears in front of the entire committee, and Elijah stood with him and said, ‘You’re not a racist,'” she said.
“So again, unlike Mark Meadows just for the record, we’re not afraid of you,” Brzezinski concluded.
Trump fired back at Brzezinski after the show ended, saying he no longer watches the show and called her a “psycho” again.
….Don’t watch show, but heard Mika said I asked to preside over their marriage. Not true—does anyone really believe that? They were married by Elijah, King of Baltimore!
