Trump not happy MSNBC is laughing at his Republicans [1]

I thought that Trump's all caps post this morning was about the MSNBC night time host's shots at him and Republicans being trounced by their own constituents at Town Halls.
But, I could have been wrong. MSNBC's The Weekend starts at 8 a.m. ET. That would 5 a.m. PT. Trump's posts show my time, not his, so he could have watched The Weekend for 12 minutes as he was getting angry.
The nighttime hosts were laughing at Trump as well, especially Rachel Maddow.
What it was all about was Republican Representatives being attacked at Town Halls by their Republican constituents over Trump's and Musk's policies that are making their lives miserable. The buyer's remorse that's been written about, such as by rural white farmers.
There wasn't just one, but multiple halls covered, where Rep.'s were getting ripped for supporting Trump's executive orders and legislation pushed through Congress.
On Rachel's show, there was a Democratic Rep. who had the complete support of the audience. There was one guy who stood up with the microphone and told the Rep. that he should protest everything Trump and Musk are doing and that he would go to jail with the Rep. to show solidarity. He got a standing ovation from the rest of the audience and the Rep. was smiling.
Here's a clip from Jen Psaki last night.
Here's a short one from Nicole Wallace.
14 minutes from Medias Touch.
Rachel Maddow 6 minutes.
There's bunch more from other outlets. Just search "YouTube video Republican town halls with angry republicans."
Fast forward to this morning where Alicia, Michael and Symone were using the same clips and having a much more jovial time than the nighttime hosts.
After showing the clips, Symone said, "These are not Democratic actors that were bussed in from, you know, the blue parts of the state, honey. These are Republican constituents."
They all burst out laughing with Michael Steele adding, "Not Antifa in that room," and, "Yeah, look, and there's more of that to come. Why? Because all of this now is beginning to become real for these folks in communities in Indiana and Wisconsin and elsewhere."
"... the last thing you want is your community to start holding Town Hall meetings and sending you an invitation." More laughter.
5 minute clip from The Weekend.
