The team at MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” had a tumultuous start to their week following a controversial Memorial Day message from Eric Trump. During Tuesday’s broadcast, hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski reacted with visible discomfort to Eric’s post on social media platform X, which glorified his family’s sacrifices for the country.
Eric’s post, which came on Monday, referenced a tribute to the Trump family stating, “The family that gave up everything to save America.” He added confidently, “And we will do it again!” This post set the tone for a fiery discussion on the show the following morning.

During the segment, panelist Willie Geist highlighted not just the former president’s provocative Memorial Day remarks but also roped in Eric Trump’s post which had ignited significant backlash online. Geist pointed out that the backlash was a response to a post showing the Trump family with a caption that read, “The family who gave up everything to Save America. Thank you!”
Scarborough responded with a mix of disbelief and sarcasm to the Trump family’s posts. He laughed off Eric Trump’s expression of sacrifice and also criticized a now-deleted Instagram post from the former first son that promoted Trump merchandise in the guise of a Memorial Day sale. “We are honoring our brave men and women this weekend. Please buy our stuff,” Scarborough mocked.
