MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice.

Scarborough and Brzezinski, who have repeatedly bashed the president-elect on air over the years, said they had a face-to-face with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday — their first meeting in seven years — after reaching out in the wake of his election win.

“Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump’s actions and words in the coarsening of public debate,” said Brzezinski, 57, as she opened Monday’s show with the stunning revelation.

“But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, January 6th were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.”

“Joe and I realize it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him,” she added.

Scarborough, 61, said the trio talked about issues including “abortion, mass deportation and threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.”

“We talked about that a good bit,” he said.

“It will come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of issues and we told him so.”

Brzezinski then added, “What we did agree on was to restart communications.”

She went on to acknowledge that Trump “was cheerful and upbeat” during the private meeting — and that “he seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.”

Trump, 78, told Fox News Digital in an interview published Monday that the meeting was “extremely cordial” and the couple praised his “flawless” 2024 campaign.

“Many things were discussed, and I very much appreciated the fact that they wanted to have open communication,” the soon-to-be 47th president said. “In many ways, it’s too bad that it wasn’t done long ago.”

They “congratulated me on running a ‘great and flawless campaign, one for the history books,’ which I really believe it was, but it was also a campaign where I worked long and hard — perhaps longer and harder than any presidential candidate in history,” he added.

While he feels “an obligation to the American public, and to our country itself, to be open and available to the press,” Trump also said: “If not treated fairly, however, that will end.”

Scarborough, meanwhile, said sources had told him Trump may approach his second term differently given he can’t run for president again.

“Somebody close to Donald Trump told me this past weekend, this is a president who is not seeking re-election, so maybe, just maybe now could be time for both parties to get to work,” Scarborough said.

The backlash against the ​TV pair was swift on social media – with many blasting the duo for their “shamelessness” and for “bending the knee” by arranging the face-to-face.

“Hitler getting a lot more meeting requests than I would’ve thought,” Republican strategist Scott Jennings wrote on X, referring to the co-hosts’ past attacks on Trump in comparing him to the Nazi leader.

Washington Examiner Chief Political Correspondent Byron York tweeted, “Annals of shamelessness: They call Trump a fascist, and much, much more, and then, just 22 days after his ‘Nazi-like’ rally, they fly to Florida for an audience.”

Eli Lake, a Free Press columnist, added​, “Why would Trump bother talking to these people other than to urge them to seek mental health counseling?”

Some critics said Scarborough and Brezinski were just trying to salvage their careers.“Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski didn’t go to Mar-a-Lago to achieve unity with Trump. They went because their network is down 50% viewership and is on the verge of being sold — so they went and kissed the ring,” an X user wrote.

In a bid to get ahead of the backlash, Scarborough had said during his monologue that the co-hosts — who have previously accused the Republican of being a threat to democracy — weren’t trying to “defend or normalize” Trump.

“We are here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights that are going to better equip all of us in understanding these deeply unsettling times,” he said.

In a markedly different tone from his first term, Trump also told Fox: “While many others are calling for meetings, I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension.”

“I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance,” he said. “That is where I hold the line.”
