VIDEO: MSNBC Contributor’s Dire Warning: Trump’s Victory Spells the End of This Show

Trump’s Potential Return Threatens Morning Joe

An​ MSNBC contributor said on the network’s program Morning ⁢Joe that former president Donald⁤ Trump will shut down the show if he retakes the presidency in 2024.

“Do you‌ not understand that if Donald Trump wins, nothing else matters ⁤because it’s over,” author Donny Deutsch‍ told Morning Joe host Joe ⁣Scarborough. He went on to say that Trump is an “autocrat”⁣ and that “he will cancel this show.”

“It’s‌ over. Freedom is ​over if Donald Trump gets elected,” Deutsch said.

Media’s Exaggeration During the Trump Era

Members of⁤ the media were criticized during the‌ Trump administration⁢ for exaggerating the dangers they faced by covering the Republican president.

CNN’s Jim Acosta, who earned a reputation ⁤for verbally‌ sparring with Trump at press​ conferences, wrote a ‍2019 book detailing ⁣his experience covering Trump. The subtitle⁤ of the book called the⁣ Trump⁤ era “a dangerous‌ time to tell⁣ the truth in America.”

Acosta​ in his book asserted that “members of the press have been so savaged by Trump and ⁢his propagandists in the⁣ media that journalists seem almost ‍foreign or anti-American to his supporters.” He also ‍recounted an experience‍ at one of Trump’s press conferences. While he confronted Trump,⁢ he “faced a⁤ choice: Do we⁣ just absorb Trump’s attacks? Or do‍ we push ​back and stand‍ up for ourselves?”
