MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski joked about President Donald Trump having an STD during Wednesday morning’s episode of “Morning Joe.”

The tone of the segment started when MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle compared Trump to an “awful jerk” boyfriend who is able to attract staffers who think they can change him.
Contributor Elise Jordan agreed and said Trump is also like an STD, stating, “I like this political analogy from Stephanie and I think you leave with the political equivalent of an STD, to talk about something that Donald Trump worries about constantly.”
Joe Scarborough added that Trump once said that avoiding STDs was like his “personal Vietnam,” and Brzezinski joked, “wait a minute, maybe that’s why they raided his doctor’s office!”
Even though the entire panel was leading up to a Trump-STD joke, they still pretended to be shocked and disturbed by Brzezinski’s joke and quickly moved on to the next topic.
