Joe Scarborough and Donald Trump: The Honeymoon Terminated
The sycophantic relationship of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough with Donald Trump is a long-running joke by now; in his speech to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Larry Wilmore cracked, “Morning Joe has their head so far up Donald Trump’s ass they bumped into Chris Christie.”
Well, it looks like that cozy, mutually beneficial lovefest is coming to an end today. After all, Trump doesn’t really need Scarborough any more, does he?
Joe Scarborough initially endorsed Jeb Bush and Jeb crashed, then John Kasich and that didn’t work. Not much power or insight!

I hear @JoeNBC of rapidly fading @Morning_Joe is pushing hard for a third party candidate to run. This will guarantee a Crooked Hillary win.
