Morning Joe: Donald Trump Suggests Co-Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski Are Having Affair

"Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns," Trump said on Twitter Monday about unsubstantiated rumors.

2. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Destroys Trump After He Attacks Mika Brzezinski’s Intelligence

Less than a day after his campaign claimed that he doesn't insult people, Donald Trump lost even more votes by blowing up and attacking MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski’s intelligence, and the response from Joe Scarborough was perfect.

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/22/msnbcs-joe-scarborough-destroys-trump-attacks-mika-brzezinskis-intelligence.html

Trump has claimed numerous times on his Twitter account that he no longer watches Morning Joe, but he watches so much Morning Joe that was tuned into to MSNBC before he called in for his weekly interview on Fox and Friends.

Yesterday, on ABC’s This Week Trump’s campaign manager claimed that her candidate doesn’t hurl personal insults, so the candidate responded today by hurling personal insults at Mika Brzezinski.

No matter how one feels about Morning Joe, Trump has once insulted an intelligent woman who works in the media. Sexist attacks on women have been a staple of Trump’s campaign. Donald Trump has a serious issue with women who have power or platform to speak. His false attacks on Hillary Clinton’s health are based on sexism. Trump attacked Megyn Kelly when she challenged him, and he attacked Mika Brzezinski for criticizing him.

Donald Trump is more than thin-skinned. He is a sexist who can’t handle the idea of women having power.

Scarborough had the perfect reply to Trump, who was once again projecting his own flaws onto a woman.

Every time that Donald Trump attacks someone with personal insults, he loses more votes and potentially costs Republicans control of Congress.

Donald Trump can’t handle being challenged by women, which is really bad news for the Republican Party because Hillary Clinton is more than a woman. She very well could be the most qualified person ever to be a US major party nominee.

If Joe Scarborough can destroy Trump, imagine what Hillary Clinton will do to him in the presidential debates.

There are 100 other ways he could have expressed that thought.

One might have been "Trump has a problem with women, but the fact that Hillary Clinton could very well could be the most qualified person ever to be a US major party nominee has nothing to do with her gender."

You see where I'm going with this. I just can't get past that "more than a woman" thing, because it implies a lot of negatives I'm not going to list here. for every woman I've known in my life, being a woman was more than enough.

I've known some inconceivably amazing, gifted, wonderful women in my life. None of them ran for President. Not a single one of them fancied themselves as being "more than a woman." They never had that need.

It's just my opinion, my reaction to the author's "wordsmithing." Bad choice of words. Really, really bad. It implies superiority, and Hillary, as qualified as she might be, is superior to no one, just as you and I are superior to no one.

was that Joey wanted to be VP but Trump turned him down so Joey (and Mika who has dreams of being First Lady one day) turned against him. Of course, this is rumor and should be take with a huge grain of salt.
