Is there some reason to think Trump is a fan of Morning Joe? Because they put him on blast all the time. I would think he never watches MSNBC and is just glued to Fox & Friends.
You know, that show where he advocated in favour of war crimes and they just sort of smiled awkwardly.
hmmm... didn't realize that he had changed his viewing habits... he used to be a regular viewer of Morning Joe and decided to cut it a couple of months ago...
Tonight he's calling out the FBI director. Interesting.

FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds! The phony...

...Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?

Poisoning the well maybe, Comey is supposed to meet with the House Intelligence Committee today, so maybe trying to get out in front of any leaked info.
Or he just heard that Comey was meeting at the House today and he had to say something negative because Trump.

He's such a childish buffoon. It's hilarious that he can't seem to go more than a couple of days without mentioning his election win.

He's started referring to himself in the 3rd person.
Like that Seinfeld episode.."Jimmy can dunk the ball"

Also, I may be a bit late to the party on this one, but I'm surprised (given the frequency with which it happens in cases much more specious than this) that Trump's comments about the civil war and Andrew Jackson haven't given rise to myriad and constant fresh accusations of racism.
I liken it to Spicer's holocaust comments. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're a confederate or nazi apologist; it just means that you spend so much time around confederate or nazi apologists, without even internally questioning what they're saying, that their talking points just pop into your head when you're grasping for an answer to something. It's pretty likely that Trump was listening to someone give their own glossed over and glowing summation of Andrew Jackson (possibly likening him to Trump), and Trump is now parroting those talking points without further thought.
But regardless, even if we could explain it by ignorance instead of by malice on Trump's part, there's likely malice at the root of the remarks, on the part of whomever Trump heard it from.
I really want to send Trump the worksheets my grade 7's completed during our Civil War unit this year. Some questions include:
"Why did the South practice slavery?" - From our 'Cotton and Slavery' worksheet.
"What was the Underground Railroad?" & "Describe how the ideas of Abolitionists differed." - From our "The Fight Against Slavery" activity.
"Why did the Northern States feel the Southern States did not have the right to secede?"; "Why did the Southern states think they had the right?" & "Why did the Presidential election of 1860 anger many people in the South?" from our "A Nation Divides" worksheet.
Morning Joe and Scarborough were pretty nice to Trump during the election, it wasn't until late in the election and after he became POTUS that he turned to becoming a pretty big critic of his.
While Trump during the campaign said he loves Morning Joe, since the show became tough on him he stopped followed them personally on twitter and has never spoken of the show since, so its pretty safe to say he no longer watches it because if he did he would probably have lost his mind.
Also Colbert tonight had a home run with his opening night monologue

Should I answer it from the perspective that the first 100 days have been successful as there have been no major catastrophes or wars started by Trump? Or that they've been unsuccessful as he got Gorsuch on the court? Or successful as most major objectives - which I disagree with - have not been met, or is that unsuccessful?
Sounds like Trump was more directly involved in this than he has been on healthcare, the wall, the budget, etc....
Quote:
Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump was "directly involved" in the search for the person who, using the official National Park Service account, retweeted side-by-side comparisons of the crowds at Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony and former President Barack Obama's 2009 ceremony, CBS News has confirmed.
The retweet was deleted soon after it was posted and the Twitter accounts of the National Park Service and other U.S. Interior Department agencies were briefly shut down. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told CBS News two days later in an email that the White House neither demanded the retweet be taken down, nor ordered the Interior Department accounts to be suspended.
But emails released by the National Park Service in response to a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the new president was "concerned" about the retweet.
"Obviously, this has become a very sensitive issue, especially since the President has gotten directly involved and contacted Acting Director Mike Reynolds concerned about one of the images that was retweeted," wrote Tim Cash, Chief of Digital Strategy at the National Park Service in a Jan. 21 email to Shaun Cavanaugh, the agency's Chief Information Security Officer.
The email between Cash and Cavanaugh was first reported on by the news site MuckRock. A White House spokesperson did not return a request for comment about Cash's depiction of Trump's involvement.
"We traced the IP address used for the two questionable posts to an ISP in the San Bruno, Calif., area and checked all possible NPS social media points of contacts in that area," a staffer wrote in the briefing.
The agency initially "suspected that this incident was an accidental cross-posting from a personal Twitter account (this has happened on multiple occasions in the past with other NPS social media accounts)," but later became concerned that an account was compromised, according to the memo.
