Donald Trump’s press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday provided plenty of fodder for the entire panel of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday morning.With the president-elect touching on subjects like possibly using the military to take control of Greenland and Panama, using “economic pressure” on Canada to become part of the U.S., and rambling about renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, most panelists agreed the incoming president was likely trolling for attention.However, as host Joe Scarborough noted, one moment stood out when Trump mentioned Meta CEO head Mark Zuckerberg’s early morning announcement the Facebook would abandon moderators fact-checking claims –– which has been considered by many to be a gift to Trump.ALSO READ: Trump intel advisor Devin Nunes still dismisses Russian election meddling as a ‘hoax’As part of the announcement, Republican party-aligned Joel Kaplan, recently hired as Meta’s chief global affairs officer stated, “We went to independent, third-party fact-checkers. It has become clear there is too much political bias in what they choose to fact-check because, basically, they get to fact-check whatever they see on the platform.”That led MSNBC’s Scarborough to offer, “You know, this is one of those moments where there’s, you know, you’ve always got to separate the signal from the ground noise, as a great admiral once told me.””This is one of those moments where we may look back and actually, you know, see Gulf of America, Greenland, all this other stuff, and we may realize that actually the most important part of yesterday’s press conference that may have the biggest impact on American politics may be what he said about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg’s total and absolute collapse on all fronts in that horrific video that he put out yesterday.””That actually is something that may more dramatically change the landscape of American politics, at least over the next two to four years, until somebody else gets in control and Mark Zuckerberg decides, ‘Yes, yes, yes, sir, overlord, I will now do what you want me to do.’ This is going to have a sweeping impact.”Watch below or at the link here.
