Donald Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday provided plenty of fodder for the entire panel of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning.

With the president-elect touching on subjects like possibly using the military to take control of Greenland and Panama, using "economic pressure" on Canada to become part of the U.S., and rambling about renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, most panelists agreed the incoming president was likely trolling for attention.

However, as host Joe Scarborough noted, one moment stood out when Trump mentioned Meta CEO head Mark Zuckerberg's early morning announcement the Facebook would abandon moderators fact-checking claims –– which has been considered by many to be a gift to Trump.

As part of the announcement, Republican party-aligned Joel Kaplan, recently hired as Meta’s chief global affairs officer stated, "We went to independent, third-party fact-checkers. It has become clear there is too much political bias in what they choose to fact-check because, basically, they get to fact-check whatever they see on the platform."

That led MSNBC's Scarborough to offer, "You know, this is one of those moments where there's, you know, you've always got to separate the signal from the ground noise, as a great admiral once told me."

"This is one of those moments where we may look back and actually, you know, see Gulf of America, Greenland, all this other stuff, and we may realize that actually the most important part of yesterday's press conference that may have the biggest impact on American politics may be what he said about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg's total and absolute collapse on all fronts in that horrific video that he put out yesterday."

"That actually is something that may more dramatically change the landscape of American politics, at least over the next two to four years, until somebody else gets in control and Mark Zuckerberg decides, 'Yes, yes, yes, sir, overlord, I will now do what you want me to do.' This is going to have a sweeping impact."

Panelists on "CNN This Morning" tried to make sense of Donald Trump's imperialist threats against Canada, Greenland and Panama.

The president-elect refused to rule out military or economic actions to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, which he has mused about doing since his Nov. 5 re-election, and he has suggested a merger between Canada and the U.S., saying that all of those territorial expansions would be necessary for national security.

A heated debate unfolded Tuesday night on CNN over President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion that the U.S. obtain Greenland, either through economic or military force.

Trump has said the U.S. needs the massive island for "economic security." When asked Tuesday if he would consider using military or economic coercion to make the acquisition proceed, Trump replied: “I can’t assure you — you’re talking about Panama and Greenland — no, I can’t assure you on either of those two."

U.S. Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT) is blasting Donald Trump, after the President-elect held a rambling 70-minute press conference aired live by cable news stations on Tuesday, during which he declared he will rename the Gulf of Mexico, threatened the possible taking of Greenland and the Panama Canal by military force, threatened annexing Canada as the 51st state via "economic coercion" if necessary, suggested Hezbollah was part of the January 6 insurrection, criticized the late U.S. President Jimmy Carter on the day his body is set to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol before his funeral Thursday, declared rain comes "down from heaven" while ranting about states trying to conserve the precious commodity, claimed windmills are "driving the whales crazy" while threatening to ban them, and threatened if the Gaza hostages are not released by the time he is sworn in to office, "all hell is going to break out."

Congressman Himes railed against Trump's remarks, noting that, "Mexico is really, really important to us in stopping fentanyl, and helping us with the migration problems we have that at the southern border. Canada's really important to us, another NATO ally. We should not be gratuitously pissing these people off."

Any notion that President-elect Donald Trump is riffing when he suggests buying Greenland is flatly wrong, but his suggestions to annex Canada are clearly a "troll" meant to be a "dominance play," CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Tuesday.

"The idea that he's just coming up with this on the fly, that's not the case," Collins told fellow CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Tuesday evening, referring to his remarks about purchasing Greenland.

Far-right Trump-appointed district judge Aileen Cannon has no authority to block special counsel Jack Smith from releasing his report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Tuesday evening.

This comes as other legal experts have speculated Cannon herself knows such an order to block the report is invalid, and she just wants to run out the clock long enough for Trump to appoint officials at the Justice Department who can prevent it from being released.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) voiced his support of President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion to use military force to regain control of the Panama Canal while speaking to Fox Business host Larry Kudlow on Tuesday.

Tuberville has long complained that China has a growing influence over the canal and that ISIS was sneaking into the United States through an unsecured border by making their way from the Middle East to Panama and then heading north to the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump continues to be fascinated by Greenland, which he thinks the United States should acquire from Denmark. This week, Trump sent his son, Donald Trump Jr., along with far-right activist Charlie Kirk, to visit the island off the coast of Canada.

Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Democratic strategist Richard Goodstein said that this likely reminds foreign leaders of Trump's ignorance of foreign affairs.

David Clements, an attorney for Jan. 6 riot defendant Jacob Lang, demanded that the government seize the assets of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to be used as "restitution" for those who were charged with participating in the Capitol attack.

At a Monday news conference on the fourth anniversary of Jan. 6, Clements pleaded with President-elect Donald Trump to pardon his client, who remains in prison awaiting trial.

Donald Trump Jr. quickly left Greenland Tuesday after spending less than a day in the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.

The son of President-elect Donald Trump traveled to the island as part of his father's effort to purchase the territory. Representatives from Denmark, however, made it clear that Greenland was "not for sale."

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin on Tuesday questioned whether Judge Aileen Cannon has the authority to block the United States Department of Justice from releasing special counsel Jack Smith's report on his two criminal investigations into President-elect Donald Trump.

"It is not clear... whether she has jurisdiction because earlier this year, she threw out the Mar-a-Lago documents case explaining that, from her reasoning, Jack Smith did not have constitutional authority to bring that prosecution under the appointments clause of the Constitution," she said.

Special counsel Jack Smith's final report has been handed off to Attorney General Merrick Garland, leading to speculation about the level of detail in its pages.

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin noted Tuesday that Donald Trump's team had seen the report, which led the lawyers of his co-defendants to press for censorship. The judge, Aileen Cannon, later declared that it would not be released.

President-elect Donald Trump used a press conference about the economy to complain that "no water comes out of the shower" because of Democrats.

During his Tuesday statement to the press at Mar-a-Lago, Trump griped about President Joe Biden's decision to ban offshore drilling on federal property.
