Donald Trump's crusade against Morning Joe may have backfired spectacularly

Donald Trump's crusade against Morning Joe, hosted by Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, may have helped them to their highest ratings ever.

Last week, the 45th President of the United States tweeted:

Which was roundly seen by many as yet another indicator that he's unfit for office. If you needed any more evidence.

The Associated Press have since reported that the show's Friday viewership of an estimated 1.66 million people ranked higher than any other edition of the show - outstripping their greatest ever viewership, which was incidentally the broadcast the day after Trump won the 2016 Presidential election

The programme focused on Trump's Twitter attacks on the show.

Trump reportedly said he too watched the output on Friday.

The show's rating also outstripped the President's favourite morning broadcast Fox & Friends, who are known for their pro-Trump administration coverage.

However, Brian Stelter comes from CNN - a network known for overwhelmingly negative coverage of Trump.

In fact we're reporting on it, and it's hard to find a positive indy100 Trump article.

As always, the solution is a healthy and varied diet of reliable news sources - among which Donald Trump's Twitter feed cannot be included.
