MSNBC 'Morning Joe' co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida on Friday, marking their first face-to-face meeting in seven years. The meeting aimed to 'restart communications' between the television hosts and Trump despite 'profound disagreements' on various issues. Scarborough stated, 'We didn't see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues and we told him so.' Brzezinski added, 'Joe and I realized it's time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump but also talking with him.' The hosts described the visit as a 'personal' effort to set a 'new approach' to their coverage of Trump's administration. Trump reportedly told Fox News that the meeting was 'extremely cordial' and that Scarborough and Brzezinski 'congratulated me on running a great and flawless campaign, one for the history books.'
