At the end of a segment on Donald Trump’s Iran deal, which is being highly criticized across the board as a disaster, MS NOW host Willie Geist made a point of holding up in the front page of Wednesday’s edition of the New York Post featuring a blaring headline criticizing the president.
Prior to Geist’s display, each member of the “Morning Joe’ panel took a shot at the president now that details of his memorandum of understanding (MOU) have been leaked, with the Financial Times’ Ed Luce offering, “It doesn’t even pass the laugh test.”
“Iran today is a considerably stronger regional power, considerably more threatening one to Israel and other of America’s allies than it was on February 28th,” he continued. “There is no other way to see this than as a complete capitulation, capitulation by President Trump. And really a moment, I think of, well, I’m not going to use the word shame, but I mean, a really bad moment for the United States.”
After co-host Mika Brzezinski shared a clip of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) stating, “Until I get more specific information, I’m going to hesitate to say anything more about it,” conservative New York Times columnist David French interjected, “This should go before the Senate, at the very least. This is absolutely a treaty by any understanding of the word. So yeah, the United States Senate should weigh in here. But the problem is and they’ll know this if they say no to this, if they say no, what does that mean?”
“Does that mean a very unpopular war restarts? Does that mean that negotiations restart? What’s next?” he added. “Because we were sort of led into this war without these kinds of questions being asked and answered on the front end. Here we are in the allegedly back-end with Congress trying to reassert itself, but no real Plan B here at all.”
That led Geist to hold the Post front page with the headline, “LOVEBOMB” followed by “Prez says Islamic regime not radical,’ his deal showers mullahs with cash –– and no sanctions.”
He remarked, “I would just point out the New York Post this morning. A rare moment when you’ve lost the New York Post. ‘Lovebomb,’ the New York Post ripping President Trump on this deal for showering, it says, this regime with money, the lifting of sanctions and this $300 billion investment fund for funding the radical regime. That’s The New York Post going after Donald Trump.”
