It's always sad to see loving, mutually helpful friendships end. RIP: "Morning Joe" and Donald J. Trump's Lovefest https://t.co/1kMrxSNyjE

Another day, another Donald Trump early morning Twitter spat, this time targeting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough:
Nobody is watching @Morning_Joe anymore. Gone off the deep end – bad ratings. You won't believe what I am watching now!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2016
We assume Trump was responding to Scarborough’s call for Republicans to pull their endorsements off the table — “Art of the Deal” style — until the GOP nominee changes his ways:
GOP leaders can keep or revoke their endorsement of Trump… OR they can do this. WATCH @JoeNBC give option #3. https://t.co/9rWr9AoHU0
— Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) June 8, 2016
Scarborough responded by saying that according to Trump’s own standards, he’s “not a real American” because his mother was “a foreigner” (she was born in Scotland and emigrated to America):
You're biased because by your own standards, you're not a real American. Your mother was a foreigner. https://t.co/333coGlYb7

Flashback. We’re so old we remember when Joe and Mike were “supporters”:

Sad! It’s always hard to watch a divorce battle waged in public like this:

Scarborough then went on to congratulate his team on the show’s ratings, excluding Fox News of course because “Fox & Friends” is actually the No. 1 show it that time slot:
Congrats to the Morning Joe team. More people are watching MJ than CNN and HLN for the 7th straight year. GLAD! https://t.co/333coGlYb7

More from the former Florida congressman, including Paul Simon lyrics!
My view is a little different @realDonaldTrump:
Out of many, One.

Come on the ship they call the Mayflower
Come on the ship that sailed the moon
Come in the age's most uncertain hour
& sing an American tune— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) June 8, 2016
Quoting Paul Simon to Trump will surely do the trick.
