"Morning Joe" has been highly critical of Trump since May 2016 after the former NBC "Apprentice" star and real estate mogul captured the GOP presidential nomination. Throughout the 2015-2016 primaries, Scarborough and Brzezinski were criticized primarily from the left for being too friendly with Trump during his regular appearances on the program.
Trump has also praised "Fox & Friends" for its ratings on several occasions. The Fox News morning program averaged 1.5 million viewers in July, while "Morning Joe" averaged 1.3 million and CNN's "New Day" had 633,000 for the month.
Wow! Really bad TV Ratings for Morning Joe (@JoeNBC). @foxandfriends doing great, leading all others by far. @CNN not a factor!!!
