'Trump should stop using MAGA spellcheck': 'Morning Joe' hosts mock former president's typo-filled post
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 'Morning Joe' show on MSNBC recently took aim at a typo-laden social media post by former President Donald Trump, suggesting that if President Joe Biden had made a similar error, the media would have reacted much more fervently.
Cohost Mika Brzezinski highlighted the exchange between Trump and Biden regarding the potential repeal of Obamacare in a segment of the show. Trump's post on Truth Social, his social media platform, attempted to clarify his stance on healthcare but was fraught with spelling and grammatical errors.
'Morning Joe' panel highlights double standard in media
Brzezinski paused during the reading of Trump's post to emphasize that if Biden had made such errors, conservative outlets like Fox News would have seized the opportunity to question his mental acuity. The show juxtaposed Trump's post with Biden's response, which characterized Trump's message as a "typo-ridden all-caps rant."
During the segment, Brzezinski remarked, "If Joe Biden put out something like this, our friends at Fox News and all the other networks would be going crazy saying he’s senile, he can’t even spell."
Discussing the popularity of Obamacare
In essence, the 'Morning Joe' segment underscored the intensifying political battlelines and the evolving strategies of both camps as they navigate the digital landscape and engage in rhetorical warfare ahead of the upcoming elections.
Commentators on the show noted the popularity of Obamacare on its 14th anniversary and the absence of a viable replacement proposal from Republicans. They also discussed the strategic approach to addressing Trump's online presence, debating whether to engage in direct mockery or focus on policy criticisms.
Katty Kay commented on the enduring popularity of Obamacare, stating, "Here we are on the 14th anniversary of Obamacare and it’s more popular than ever, and, no, Republicans never came up with a replacement for it. And Donald Trump didn’t come up with a replacement when he was president."
John Heilemann humorously joined the conversation by stating, "Allow me, Katty, to informate you," referencing Trump's misspelling of "disinform" and "misinform" in his post. He suggested that Biden's campaign is adopting a more aggressive stance by confronting Trump head-on with similar tactics used against Biden.
Heilemann added to the discussion, stating, "I think feeble and confused says it all in the tone of that Biden response," and "the gloves are off," in reference to the Biden campaign's strategy against Trump.
Social media reacts with wit and critique
