<p>President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that MSNBC &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with him privately at his Mar-a-Lago estate in southern Florida, calling the discussion &#8220;extremely cordial.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-media-vital-making-america-great-again-vows-work-free-fair-open-press" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> that he met with the MSNBC hosts on Friday morning after Scarborough and Brzezinski had requested to talk with him. The &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; anchors told viewers on their show Monday morning the meeting was their first face-to-face discussion with Trump in seven years, saying that they agreed with Trump &#8220;to restart communications.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump said the leftist hosts &#8220;congratulated me on running a ‘great and flawless campaign, one for the history books,’ which I really believe it was, but it was also a campaign where I worked long and hard — perhaps longer and harder than any presidential candidate in history.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We talked about various Cabinet members — both announced and to be announced. As expected, they like some very much, but not all,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;The meeting ended in a very positive manner, and we agreed to speak in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brzezinski said that Trump appeared &#8220;cheerful,&#8221; &#8220;upbeat,&#8221; and &#8220;interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.&#8221; She added that she and her co-host, who is also her husband, continue to hold &#8220;deep concerns&#8221; about a second Trump administration but acknowledged that nearly 80 million Americans made their voices heard about the issues that matter most to them and sent Trump back to the White House.</p>

Brzezinski and Scarborough were blasted by conservatives on social media who pointed out that the &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; hosts routinely boosted the Democrats&#8217; narrative that Trump poses a &#8220;threat&#8221; to the country. CNN contributor Scott Jennings <a href="https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/1858491506014695890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1858491506014695890%7Ctwgr%5Edc78a75a0e0e421e98042db9c5bf8d45cf995c74%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fmorning-joe-hosts-blistered-over-attempt-to-restart-communications-with-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, &#8220;Hitler getting a lot more meeting requests than I would’ve thought.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump told Fox News that he has &#8220;an obligation to the American public, and to our country itself, to be open and available to the press,&#8221; but warned that &#8220;if [he&#8217;s] not treated fairly &#8230; that will end.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The media is very important to the long-term success of the United States of America,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</strong></a></p>
<p>The president-elect said many news outlets are reaching out to him and said he is willing to give second and third chances to media voices that have treated him poorly.</p>
<p>&#8220;And while many others are calling for meetings, I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance — that is where I hold the line.&#8221;</p>
