President Donald Trump exploded at “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough after his MS NOW show highlighted bombshell New York Times reporting about the White House’s response to the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

On Wednesday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to hit out at “Joe Scarborough’s ever shrinking, low rated show.”

The president added, “His serious case on Trump Derangement Syndrome, often referred to as TDS, has made him a laughing stock among those who know what is going on in the ‘Wonderful World of Television.’”

The rant came almost an hour after Scarborough had highlighted the Times’ reporting from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, taken from their forthcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” which the former GOP congressman characterized as “one of the most important books on the Trump presidency.”

Among the revelations is that Trump didn’t want to release any of the Justice Department files linked to Epstein, a former friend of the president.

Shortly after an interview with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, Scarborough seized on the Trump attack and offered a deeply sarcastic response.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do, Mr. President,” Scarborough said mockingly of Trump’s ratings gibe.

Despite Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski being among the most vocal cable-news critics of Trump in recent years, the pair claimed they frequently speak to the president and visited him at his Mar-a-Lago resort shortly after his reelection in 2024.

On Wednesday, Scarborough went on to say: “I tell people that we actually talk on the phone, and sometimes I go talk to you in the White House, and we disagree on things, but nothing deranged here, sir. Unless you’re deranged.”

Co-host Willie Geist then pointed out the connection between Trump flipping out and the Times’ reporting on Epstein.

“Ohhhh, wow,” responded Scarborough.

“Oh, my God,” said Brzezinski.

“This is something you cannot mention around the president of the United States,” Geist added of the Epstein files.

Efforts to manage the release of the documents linked to the sex offender were “consuming the highest ranks of the administration,” claimed a New York Times Magazine article based around the Haberman and Swan book.

They wrote, “[Trump’s] aides were determined to keep their rising sense of panic out of public view.”
