During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," regular contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Thursday's failure by the Republican-dominated House to pass a budget that would forestall a government shutdown was a blow to Donald Trump's reputation. Speaking with MSNBC host Johnathan Lemire, the former Democratic senator from Missouri, suggested that Trump has to be painfully aware of online joking about President Elon Musk. "Claire McCaskill, let's talk about this moment," host Lemire prompted his guest. "First, Trump looked tiny yesterday –– he looked like a very little man and that has got to be bugging him big time."
