I stopped watching "Morning Joe" back in 2015/2016 when they allowed Trump free access to their morning program whenever he wanted to call in--- they, of course thought it was all a big joke, but Trump is the one who walked away laughing. Any publicity is good publicity.
Subsequently I have stopped watching MSNBC entirely since long before the election. Their wall to wall coverage of Trump has not been helpful except as a gage of how much "the libs" have been triggered in every news cycle. I know they were just giving their audience what they wanted but isn't that the FOXNews business model, too?
I am confident that Trump may decide to go with Desantis at the DoD especially if he gets Lara Trump chosen for the Senate in the deal. As long as it is clear Trump is making the "strong decision" and Hegseth walks away quietly (to some other probable sinecure in the administration as Gaetz will do) and no Republican has to go out on a limb to end the nomination. Unity of the party is really very important to Trump this time. Publicly he wants to be seen as presiding over a well oiled machine. Even the famously fractious Republican caucus in the House of Representatives will become obedient to the voice of their master.
In the final analysis Trump cares about Hegseth in the same way he cares about anyone else. He doesn't except where there is something to be gained for Trump. It is even possible that some of these nominations were intended to dominate the news cycle for a few days and then forgotten about.
We will know that Trump is having problems when he starts declaring "I hardly know him" or "I wouldn't recognize him if he walked in a room" or "He's not my type."
I don't need the "FOXNews for Vegans" (I know that is an awful stereotypes and I am just being sarcastic) but seriously I no longer need the adrenaline pump that their business model demands.
I do miss Ari and his nerdy white boy hip hop references and Nicole Wallace one of the most pleasant people in the news world. But I find reading local and national newspapers all I need to keep abreast of "the dirty deeds done dirt cheap" and the commercial interruptions.

MSNBC has been consistently anti-Trump on every show after Joe and Mika.
