Trump and Morning Joke
George Neumayr June 30, 2017The MSNBC show is a window on a tiresome and deluded chattering class.
Perhaps there is no better window on the awfulness of the self-appointed New York-to-DC ruling class than MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
The show revolves around a collection of chattering-class bores who
devote the start of their day to seconding each other’s shallow and smug
criticisms of Trump. The women make faces; the men roll their eyes.
Co-host
Mika Brzezinski is a feminist who lectures other women on the need to
show firmness in a man’s world. Yet she spends most of the show acting
like a prim, entitled Victorian-era dingbat on a fainting couch. She
grips her chair for balance while she makes faux-terrified faces, then
turns to “Joe” for guidance on how to address this or that Trump
“outrage.” “Joe” is the vainglorious former Congressman Joe Scarborough.
The two are engaged, but one suspects the relationship won’t last
Trump’s two terms.Scarborough resembles a beady-eyed frat boy whom one can more easily imagine bellowing over a keg than cracking open a serious book. Yet he casts himself as Trump’s moral and intellectual better. Trump, you see, lacks Joe’s “substance.”
