Morning Joe hosts, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski claimed that the White House coerced them to apologize to President Donald Trump for their unfavorable coverage of him. If they didn’t apologize, they would risk having something nasty written about them in the National Enquirer.
The severed relationship between Joe and President Trump has been publicly exposed through the exchange of nasty tweets against each other. Mika noted the president is “not well.”

President Trump made a negative comment about the morning show hosts, calling them “Low IQ Crazy Mika and Psycho Joe,” and saying that Mika was “bleeding badly from a face lift.”
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

The verbal attacks between the host and the president continued, with Morning Joe pointing out that Trump has an impetuous child-like ego especially with women that made him attack Brzezinski continuously with words.
Brzezinski said:
“It is unbelievably alarming that this president is so easily played. So easily played by a cable news host. What is that saying to our allies? What is that saying to our enemies that this president is so easily played?”
Trump accused the hosts of stalking him. Joe replied that Trump was telling lies.
Watched low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time. FAKE NEWS. He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show

Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I haven't spoken with you in many months. https://t.co/TZWiElo6Gs

Why do you keep lying about things that are so easily disproven? What is wrong with you? https://t.co/aAoUj5HYZS

Joe said three top people in Trump administration urged him to call Trump but he and Brzezinski took the decision not to call the president. Later a story was run in National Enquirer about Scarborough buying beer at a convenience store which actually is not true.
Another of its kind, a story about Joe and Brzezinski’s cheating scandal was featured on National Enquirer’s website on Friday. This story has earlier been run in June about the engagement between hosts.
Although Mika and Joe are officially engaged, a long time rumor that they have been lovers and having a secret romance before each was divorced recently came up as well. Was the engagement just to cover up their illicit affair?
Or is this just another trashy story perpetrated by a petulant president who has no impulse control or concept of what constitutes a crime?
