Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski reveal the real reason they fell out with Trump

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski in the most recent issue of New York Magazine revealed the precise time that their formerly good relationship with President Donald Trump deteriorated.

Replaying an incident that occurred after the "Morning Joe" co-hosts tore into Stephen Miller, Trump's senior advisor for policy, Scarborough and Brzezinski said that the last straw was when they received an irate phone call from Trump for blasting Miller on the air.

After being invited to the White House as Trump's personal guests, Scarborough claimed that he received a phone call from the president, admonishing him for not being more supportive of his administration.

"I know what you’re like: You think because you came over to the White House you have to prove you’re independent!'" Scarborough claimed Trump said during the heated phone call.

Trump was also said to have claimed that he could have "invited Hannity over here" instead of the MSNBC duo.

Though the relationship seemed fractured at that point, Scarborough noted that son-in-law Jared Kushner attempted to mend the rift.

"But, again, I think the biggest shock for Donald — for the president — is that, regardless of whether we saw him or not, we were going to say whatever we wanted to say," Scarborough said.

In the magazine profile, Brzezinski also told a story about the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, during a time that Ivanka shouted at her father during a White House meeting when Trump ignored Ivanka's requests to discuss pressing women's issues.

Brzezinski called the interaction between father and daughter "disturbing," and claimed that it was clear that Trump was "way too into" being leader of the free world.

Though the trio maintained a cordial relationship after the Ivanka incident, Scarborough said that Trump was "long gone" from that which they used to know.

Noting that he had spoken to the president on the phone, Scarborough said, "I talked to him for three seconds. You know when you talk to somebody and you know they’re gone. ...

"‘Oh, this place is so great!,’" Scarborough said about the president and his new residence at the White House, noting that Trump spoke primarily about "the phone system and all the, basically, toys, new toys he had — not his words."

"I remember getting off the phone really fast and, to Mika, I said, ‘He’s long gone. This is bad,'" Scarborough noted of the president's behavior.
