	Description:		Republican Senators have largely remained quiet in regard to President Donald Trump's high praise for North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un. The President's kind words toward Kim have included him tweeting, in part, "Chairman Kim has before him the opportunity to be remembered as the leader who ushered in a glorious new era of security and prosperity for his citizens!" This comes has Senator Bob Corker's (R-TN) recent legislation to reign in the President's power to wildly propose tariffs against U.S. allies was blocked by those very same GOP leaders. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) join the panel, this morning, to discuss the President's recent admiration toward Kim Jong-un and his controversial foreign trade policy that has seemingly enamored Congressional Republicans. And, Morning Joe pays a special tribute to Tim Russert. The former host of NBC's 'Meet the Press' passed away ten years ago, today.
