A message shared on social networks claims President-elect Donald Trump mocked “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Truth Social after their recent meeting.

Verdict: false

This statement arises from satire.

Fact check:

Trump announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who previously said vaccines caused autism, would be his nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. NPR reported. Trump said Kennedy would “go wild on health care” because Kennedy had long wanted to change the U.S. health care system and policies, according to the outlet.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, reportedly shows a screenshot of a Truth Social post about its recent meeting with Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski. The post shared an image of the alleged post.

The alleged message reads: “This morning, ‘Morning’ Joe and Mika, who owe their careers to me, went on their show and claimed to have met me. They made it look like we had a summit. The truth is, Joe begged me to meet after Big Win, and when I finally agreed, he approached me like a growling dog. He should consider himself lucky that I didn’t get him kicked out of beautiful Mar-a-Lago. Mika was charming, as usual.

The statement is inaccurate. There is no credible reporting this suggests that Trump shared this message. There is no trace of the message on Trump Social Truth Account. The message appears to come from a satirical story.

THE account shares a disclaimer in his bio that reads: “Universally loved meme craftsman | Firebrambassador official unofficial | Fashion & Lifestyle Coach | humorous adjacent tweets | Alpha certified.

“Morning Joe” hosts recently met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, according to Policy. Scarborough said the meeting was “cordial” and “a lot was discussed,” the outlet reported. (RELATED: Did Donald Trump Call for Liz Cheney’s Execution?)
