Mika and Joe Respond: Trump Is 'So Easily Played'

Mika, Joe on Morning Joe Friday Morning

MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski hit back at President Donald Trump Fridaymorning, calling him a liar and questioning his mental health.

According to The Daily Mail, Trump claimed the duo relentlessly pursued him at Palm Beach property while Mika was recovering from a facelift.

'We are both certain that the man is not mentally equipped to continue watching our show, “Morning Joe," they said in a Washington Post story on Friday morning.

According to their account in the Post, Trump invited them to Mar-a-Lago for dinner. When Brzezinski didn't show, he asked them back the next night on, New Year's Eve. They went - but did not attend the party he was having that night, they maintained.

'Trump also claims that Mika was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.” That is also a lie,' according to the story. While Brzezinski 'never had a face-lift' they admit that she did 'have a little skin under her chin tweaked, but this was hardly a state secret.' (pictured right, Mika pointing to her chin.

Brzezinski and her MSNBC co-host, Joe Scarborough, were scheduled to start a vacation, but delayed it so they could address the president’s attack, which came just after they’d finished their show Thursday morning.


“It is unbelievably alarming that this president is so easily played.. by a cable news host.. what does that say to our allies?” wondered Mika Brzezinski
