Morning Joe is in a party mood this morning!

Joe is enjoying every moment of talking about Trump as the BIGGEST LOSER!

The point was made that when Trump "wrote" The Art of The Deal he was already losing tons of money. In 1987, when the book came out, he was losing tens of millions of dollars.

The loses were massive business loses year after year, losing more money than any person in the country for over a decade.

he doesn't lose his own money, he loses other people's money. He welched off his dad and he never repaid bank loans and when he declared losses that were really loans he never paid back, he didn't have to pay any taxes.

a candidate for president that Joe and Mika found DT interesting, almost exotic. He would call into MJ a lot and they would take his calls. I think they were flattered that he liked their show so much. Folks here at DU were repelled by such ass kissing and giving so much air time to such a dubious character as Trump. And they were right to be repelled!

So that stain has forever marked the show as enemy for oldtimers here. Plus, Mika shamelessly plugs her book constantly on the show and she's doing it again. It's a regular business for her now. I must say she's got her nerve to "instruct" women on how to "know" their value and become successful, using her own stellar achievements as an example, when it seemed she and Joe were grubbing for the money and fame. AND, given the fact that all this stuff was going on before she divorced her husband in order to marry Joe. So there was that. (I often wonder what her two daughters think of their mother's treatment of their father in all this...)

Iran just gave the countries who are parties to its peace plan 60 days to stop the sanctions that the US has imposed on its oil exports or it is going to start enriching uranium again.

They all gave Trump tons of free publicity through additional TV air time and newspaper coverage beyond what was offered any other candidate, all to boost ratings and circulation.

MJ just did what the rest were doing.

His only loss was that he gave Donnie baby money, "invested" in one of Donnie's projects to prop him up.

and it shows that Lil Donny has not made a ton of money since his near billion dollar loss in the 90s as well.

And they had their reasons too. Such as President Donald Trump.

And now watch Donny & Family fight tooth and nail to keep the Deutsche's Bank
(A Putin Bank) records from coming out because by the 1990s and early 2000
no American bank would touch Trump because he was so toxic. But did our great
liberal media really tell this story? No, we heard about Hillary's emails.
