MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” panelists were eager Monday to undermine the compelling success of the first leg of President Donald Trump’s overseas trip and theorized that any foreign victories for the administration really don’t matter because his “presidency is literally in question.”

The president’s trip began in Saudi Araba Friday and will span nine days and five countries. On Sunday, Trump delivered a highly anticipated speech before representatives from over 50 Muslim-majority countries in which he urged them to join together to defeat violent extremism.

“You can debate [former President Barack] Obama and say he made mistakes, but we’re talking about a presidency that is literally in question at this point.”

But co-host Mika Brzezinski dismissed the president’s well-received speech and his overall efforts to reconnect with the United States’ traditional allies, insisting that “the entire conversation is on shaky ground” because of controversies permeating D.C.

“Here is the problem. This entire conversation is on shaky ground with what’s happening in Washington,” Brzezinski claimed. “You can debate [former President Barack] Obama and say he made mistakes, but we’re talking about a presidency that is literally in question at this point.”

Co-host Joe Scarborough attempted some push-back on Brzezinski, insisting that Trump’s domestic controversies and his foreign trip are “two different things” entirely.

“But the conversation that we’re having right now really doesn’t — you can debate Obama versus Trump right now but —” Brzezinski began to counter.

“I’m not debating Obama versus Trump,” Scarborough interrupted. “We’re explaining what happened over the last 48 hours and you have to have some context on why he did what he did.”

Brzezinski maintained that the only important context is that “We can’t go a day without this president exploding.” Brzezinski did not explain what “explosions” rocked the president Saturday or Sunday, which together saw historic moments for the president without fresh major controversy.

Although Brzezinski conceded that the leaders in Saudi Arabia and Israel have been “very excited” about Trump and welcoming him to their countries, she couldn’t resist throwing one more barb at Trump’s international efforts.

“They’re very excited about Trump. I think that they also should be very, very nervous,” Brzezinski insisted.

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters latched onto Brzezinski’s dour tone and warnings, expressing doubt Congress will move forward on the president’s legislative agenda.

“Maybe before the Fourth of July recess there’s something that they do on Obamacare. Tax reform was always going to be hard. Whether or not that gets done, I have no idea,” Peters said. “I don’t hear a lot of optimism about that at this moment. Infrastructure looks like that could be harder.”

“But the overwhelming problem here, as you were getting at earlier here, is, at what point does all … of the scandal — the drip, drip, drip, of this slowly unspooling investigation, multiple investigations on multiple fronts — overwhelm the agenda politically, legislatively?” Peters continued. “And it’s hard to see at this point how it doesn’t when you have such damning revelations coming out almost hour by hour.”
