Willie Geist Warns ‘Morning Joe’ Viewers: Trump at U.N. Might Be ‘Jarring’

‘In 2012, he tweeted about how ugly those tiles are and offered to replace them’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "A lot of people said it will be jarring to see Donald Trump in front of the famed green tiles that stand behind a world leader. In 2012, he actually tweeted about how ugly those tiles were and he offered to replace them. I don't know if he will get a chance to do that. You know, this is an organization that Donald Trump has called incompetent, he even questioned why it exists, what should it be doing. So, to see him standing there as president of the United States, he will focus on North Korea and Iran, it will be extraordinary. I will be exceptional. And I think what you will hear him say is that nations have to act in their self-interests. He will talk about stepping away from the traditional alliances and organizations like the U.N., like NATO, 'Don’t rely on the world, don’t rely on the United States to come save you from yourself, you got to do it by yourself.' That will be a departure from past presidents."
