Ex-Husband’s Relationship with Donald Trump

In an interview the Rolling Stone, the interviewer was talking to Joe about his band and the new Ep they released. They were talking about the similarities between songwriting and speechwriting. The conversation was getting deep as it shifted into talking about Donald Trump and his job as president.

Joe was open about sharing his thoughts on Donald Trump, “A friendly chat with Trump? “That hasn’t happened in quite some time. To say we’re disappointed would be a pretty dramatic understatement. We attacked him a lot in the campaign and it got really, really nasty. And then after he won, we were talking a little bit. But, you know, he gets into office and the first day he’s talking about crowd size when he’s got so many other problems. And every day it’s something else where you’re just pulling your hair out saying why? Why’s he talking about Hillary now? Why is he saying there was no collusion with Russia, but then there’s an article in the Washington Post, so now he’s saying there was collusion but Barack Obama was responsible? It’s absolute insanity.”

During Donald Trump’s run for the presidential office, he had to make a lot of media appearances to promote his campaign. He even would appear on shows that he knew were going to be combative with. His strategy was to stir controversy and get people to pay attention to what he was doing. He really believed in the idea of any publicity being good publicity. Joe and his television program, “Morning Joe” were at least vey open to having Donald Trump on during the first appearances.

The bond between Trump and Joe started to sour when Trump said something that Joe found really offensive on December 2015. Trump made a statement that all Muslims should be banned from entering America because of their perceived threat to national security. That blanket statement really offended Joe, “That’s when Mika and I said, ‘I could never vote for him.'”

After Joe stated his criticism of Trump, their relationship never was repaired but they are no longer on combative terms, “Then we called him up the morning of the election, because we thought he was gonna lose. And I said, ‘Listen. I hope we’ll be friends after this. I know this wasn’t easy for you. I know we didn’t agree with everything you did. But it’s tough for you and your family to stick your neck out there. And then he won. And it was like, ‘Oh my god.'”
