This morning on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough told their viewers that they flew down to Mar-a-lago on Friday to have a chat with President-elect Trump after they said on their program they wanted to speak with him.
They explained that they went down there to share their concerns with him about some of his nominees as well as issues. They claim they disagreed on much, but did agree on restarting communications with Trump.

To me, the fact that this meeting happened at all speaks more about President-elect Trump that it does about Mike and Joe. After the way they’ve treated Trump and lied about him over and over on their show, I wouldn’t have given them the time of day. But he has always been gracious and willing to listen to people he disagrees with, even those who I would call his enemies. Like Mika and Joe.
That’s the only thing I take away from their meeting with Trump.
UPDATE: I’ll add this great comment from Joe Concha: “Your reminder, as I’ve said for years on the air and in print, 90% of what you see on networks like this is all performance art. Because why else would Joe & Mika want to reset their relationship with someone they repeatedly called a fascist for 8 years? Totally phony people.”
