President Donald Trump dedicated part of his speech to taxing other countries, something that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell said isn't even possible. It was a remark that caused giggles and laughter for

"I want to do two quick fact-checks on this and then move to a larger point," said O'Donnell as the screen showed President and Dr. Biden boarding Marine One.

President Donald Trump vowed that U.S. astronauts would plant the American flag on Mars during his next administration.

During his inaugural address on Monday, Trump insisted that going to Mars was part of the "manifest destiny" of the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump's MAGA supporters booed former Vice President Mike Pence as he arrived at the inauguration for the 47th president of the United States.

"I will say there is a jumbotron of sorts or a big screen in this room, and that's where they're seeing all the activity," MSNBC Ana Cabrera reported from Capital One Arena. "They booed when they saw Mike Pence show up there."

MAGA activist Steve Bannon argued that Donald Trump's indoor inaugural ceremony was a plot to nullify his second presidency.

"Right there, you see an empty west side of the Capitol, where normally, in about 90 minutes, President Trump will be walking out to start the ceremony," Bannon complained during his Monday War Room broadcast. "I mean, why are they doing it in the Capitol today?"

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough dared House Republicans to subpoena the individuals whom president Joe Biden pardoned on Monday.

The outgoing president issued preemptive pardons to 51 government officials and other Donald Trump critics, whom many believed would be targeted for prosecution or other persecution as retribution for the former president's own legal troubles, and the "Morning Joe" host questioned the wisdom of holding congressional hearings on their actions.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said he was "totally supportive" of purchasing Greenland after MAGA economist Stephen Moore suggested renaming the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark to "Trumpland."

During a Sunday "Inaugural 2025" discussion of Trumpenomics 2.0 sponsored by Moore's Unleash Prosperity think tank, the economist presented a map with "Trumpland" in place of Greenland. The map also featured the "Gulf of America" for the Gulf of Mexico and named Canada the 51st state. Mexico was called "The Other Side of the Wall."

On. Monday morning President Joe Biden offered a wide array of preemptive pardons to enemies of Donald Trump which led two GOP lawmakers to issue statements that they have no intention of backing off holding investigations.

That, in turn, led to a denunciation by MSNBC's Joe Scarbrough that they will be making a huge mistake that will come back to haunt them one day.

Addressing comments made by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) that those who received pardons, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and retired United States Army General Mark Milley, still face GOP-led congressional hearings, the Morning Joe host launched into a scathing response.

"I can't sit here and listen to statements like that from these members of Congress," he began. "And it's as if, like me, of course when I first got to Washington, they just fell off a turnip truck. And they don't realize, like old people like me who have seen this happen time and time and time again, that what goes around comes around."

"Oh, you want to do that to these people who have been pardoned?" he suggested. "Let's wait for the Democrats two years from now, and let's wait and see what those hearings are going to be like for every single January 6th convicted felon or someone convicted of misdemeanors that will be hauled before the Democratic committee two years from now."

"I hear these statements and I'm like, seriously? Do you not think what you dish out, you're going to get?" he asked.

President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to a number of government officials and other individuals whom Donald Trump has threatened to prosecute, and one of his former aides thinks the president-elect might have been granted a favor with the last-minute move.

The outgoing president pardoned 51 individuals, including members of the Jan. 6 committee and police officers who testified before that panel, on Monday morning, hours before leaving office, and former White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin told CNN that the decision could actually protect Trump from his own worst instincts.

On the day that Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as America's 47th president, one former U.S. senator predicted that he would run into a buzzsaw of expectations that he won't be able to fulfill.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," before the inauguration will commence at the Capitol building due to purported weather concerns, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) claimed a recalcitrant Congress and the reality on the ground will make the president-elect's job this time considerably harder than he seems to believe.

According to the former lawmaker, Democrats need to focus on his failures and ignore the distractions he uses as a smokescreen, and then added, "Focus on the fact that he is not accomplishing what he promised. He's not delivering for the people who take a shower after work instead of before work, he's not he's not going to concentrate on those folks, he doesn't even like those folks."

"They love him because they think he is a guy that says out loud the stuff you're not supposed to say, and they feel like they've been screwed over by the system," she continued. "He is not going to be their savior they think he is and our party, the Democratic party, has to focus on his failures, not his nonsense, and then stay focused on the cost to the American people."

Musician Lee Greenwood revealed that President-elect Donald Trump might take the oath of office using the version of the Bible that the two men sell together.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, anchor John Roberts asked Greenwood about his plans to perform at Trump's inauguration. Greenwood immediately pivoted to selling the holy book.

MSNBC host Jen Psaki made her way through a history of presidential inaugurations that were held in extreme cold before suggesting Donald Trump pulled the plug on his for alternative reasons.

With the president-elect's team moving the proceedings to the toastier confines of the Capitol, leaving a multitude of MAGA supporters out in the cold, Psaki first pointed out the late President Jimmy Carter wasn't deterred when "when temperatures dipped below 30 degrees."

As she noted, "It's going to look a lot different than the first time around, in large part because it will take place inside. The Trump team pointed to the frigid forecast as the reason for moving it indoors," before adding, "Yes, it is indeed going to be frigid here in Washington tomorrow."

She added, "Barack Obama, when wind-chills were in the teens and nearly 2 million people still gathered? It was cold. very cold, I can promise you. Heck, I mean, JFK didn't even wear an overcoat when the high was 26 degrees and there were eight inches of snow on the ground."

"So sure, they say it's the weather," she continued. "I have a hunch crowd size anxiety might just be a factor -- who knows?" she smirked.
