Criticism of Donald Trump's first 100 days was not limited to Democrats and cable TV hosts as the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" illustrated on Thursday morning.
While the president's Cabinet gave him fawning praise in a press availability on Wednesday, the president was taking a beating from three conservative podcasters on the conspiracy-minded PBD podcast.
On Thursday, co-host Mika Brzezisnki introduced a supercut from the podcast and commentators Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnik and host Patrick Ben-David took turns poking the president over tariffs and the faltering economy.

Brzezisnki introduced the clip by explaining, "Some supporters of the president are expressing disappointment in his first 100 days in office. Here's a listen at some remarks from one popular pro-Trump podcast."
The clip began with a grim Tom Ellsworth telling his audience, "Overall, first 100 days? I give it a C-plus and I get there this way," he explained. "An A -minus on the plan, but a C-minus on the execution. I thought he had too many things going at once picking on the the Fed [Jerome] Powell. But I gave the plan an A, but the execution got messy and so overall I give it a C-plus."
A more animated Adam Sosnick complained, "I thought that the first, I don't know, month was awesome. He was signing all these executive orders, he's doing his thing and then April 2nd Liberation Day, where he liberated America of, like $5 trillion worth of wealth and nobody saw it coming."
"So I don't understand the methodology for what he was doing with liberation?" he pointed out before joking, "I would have been better if he just dressed up as Liberace day and started doing a samba dance or something like that. But Liberation Day has backfired."
Host Bet-David added, "But results at C minus, first 100 days when you go purely with results. We were told day one there's going to be peace with Russia and Ukraine. It's day 100, there's no peace there, it's worse."
"I thought there was going to be a deal being done there," he complained. "It's a C-minus and I voted for this guy in '16, in '20 and '24 gladly, happy I did, and it's a C-minus today."
