The meeting occurred the same week an aide to Trump told the Associated Press that the president had cut back on writing early morning tweets because he was not watching “Morning Joe,” the show Scarborough hosts on MSNBC with Mika Brzezinski.

Trump had a thorny relationship with "Morning Joe" throughout the campaign and since Election Day, trading barbs with the hosts. The president has repeatedly slammed the show's ratings, while Scarborough and Brzezinski have questioned his strategy and decision-making.

An MSNBC spokesperson confirmed the meeting to Politico.

Trump is known to have tweeted about subjects not long after they were discussing on the daily morning show.

Scarborough also met with Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law who serves as an adviser to the president, on the same day.
