The panel on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' criticized Donald Trump's late-night posts on Truth Social, where he targeted ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, arguing that such actions only empower her and complicate his relationship with a slim GOP majority in Congress. The hosts pointed out that Trump's behavior, reminiscent of his previous administration, undermines potential bipartisan cooperation, especially when he makes false claims like having the largest mandate in 129 years. They emphasized that focusing on retribution and revenge against political enemies would alienate Democrats and hinder legislative progress.
