‘We are in crisis’: Morning Joe warns president’s Twitter meltdown has ‘shaken this government to the core’

A deadly serious Joe Scarborough lambasted President Donald Trump on Monday morning over his outrageous accusations that President Barack Obama had his phones tapped at Trump Tower, saying the president’s increasingly erratic behavior has put the country in “crisis.”

On Sunday, MSNBC host Scarborough hammered at Trump, calling his accusations “sick,” and there was more of the same at the top of his show Monday morning, saying the “presidential” Trump the country saw during his Tuesday speech is now gone.

“There was a belief that he [Trump] could turn the corner,” Scarborough said. “What Donald Trump did on Saturday morning has shaken this government and the confidence of its people to the core. It is hard to overstate how reckless that tweet was. The 45th president of the United States accusing the 44th president of tapping his phones, personally tapping his phones, calling him sick.”

“Uncouth,” co-host Mike Brzezinski interjected.

“For people comparing this to the birther controversy, context is necessary,” Scarborough continued. “It is one thing when a reality TV star accused a president of a sleazy conspiratorial theory. But when a president of the United States accuses another president, the context changes and it becomes dangerous.”

1. Barnie?

[dalton99a]

2. Morning Joe will find ways to heap praise on the asshole next week.

[Solomon]

7. You mean tomorrow

morning.

[uponit7771]

17. +1

[chwaliszewski]

39. You mean this afternoon.

I believe the 'J' in Donald J. Trump stands for 'Joe Scarborough'.

[PatSeg]

36. Yep

Hard to take Scarborough's outrage very seriously. He tends to be very flaky.

[SHRED]

3. It's not his tweets that are destroying this country

It's the Republican Congress that is working to pave the way for unbridled capitalism.

[dalton99a]

5. While all eyes are on the crazy stuff.

[MGKrebs]

35. His tweets indicate an unstable and irrational personality.

You don't want someone like that responding to North Korean missile firings.
Trump doesn't do anything well and he will mess up something really big eventually.

[putitinD]

4. looks more like mourning Joe, he has aged 20 years in 45 days.

[RKP5637]

6. The republicans are going to ditch this guy. He is destroying the branding of republican. Midterms

are coming up. They will go for Pence as president. Pence is not one of my favorites, but more stable than tRump IMO.

[SHRED]

8. He's providing a great distraction

Not sure they'll ditch him anytime soon.

[RKP5637]

11. Yep, he does. Sometimes I wonder if this obfuscation is part of a Bannon plan or whatever. n/t

[NewRedDawn]

21. That Fucker

closeted homophobe Fake Christian is as crooked & twisted as the Putin puppet. I believe this Zombie looking freak knows about the russian coup too!

[RKP5637]

23. Yep! He's one strange creature to say the least. n/t

[sammythecat]

31. I suppose this is petty but,

he has just about the most uninteresting face of anyone I can think of. Just a pale blank. Plus he's conservative and they're very often dull and unimaginative people.

There isn't a single person in this administration that I can stand at all. Get rid of one and another one who's just as bad, or worse, is there to take his place.

[RKP5637]

33. I can't imagine this is what millions and millions of Americans want. n/t

[Renew Deal]

24. What? This is their branding.

Intentional incompetence. Malice towards most. Greed. It's what they ran on.

[RKP5637]

25. Quite true!!! Maybe he just wears it too proudly and exposes them far too much. n/t

[lagomorph777]

26. The Sadist Party

They've gone beyond bare-knuckle greed to sadism for its own sake.

[truebluegreen]

38. In my view Pence is more dangerous

If less embarrassing...or because less embarrassing.

[RKP5637]

40. Yeah, he's freaky too!!!! n/t

[spanone]

9. absolutely 100% unfit to be anywhere near the white house.

mourning joe cabal has buyer's remorse.

trump no longer needs them

[MontanaMama]

10. STFU Joe.

You were a big part of paving this road to hell that we're on. You and your stupid show have no credibility. None.

[RKP5637]

12. Exactly! He helped pave his way into the WH. As you say, STFU Joe. n/t

[Hokie]

15. You are so correct MM.

All Joe Scab did for months was bash Hillary for "emails" and suck up to Trump. Screw him.

[beachbum bob]

13. Joe and Mika own this mess as they were 100% cheerleaders from the start and now its all

coming home...a slick con man now president...any one surprise by his actions?....don't think so....and we have the dark forces of breitbart.com pulling the trump strings

[AgadorSparticus]

16. +1,000!!!

[DK504]

14. Is Joe really this stupid?

Or is he doing it on purpose? I can't tell.

“For people comparing this to the birther controversy, context is necessary,” Scarborough continued. “It is one thing when a reality TV star accused a president of a sleazy conspiratorial theory. But when a president of the United States accuses another president, the context changes and it becomes dangerous.”

It is one thing when an asshole "reality" bitch harasses the President of the United States with his disgusting campaign against President Obama for years without end and the idiots of America and the "media" that swallows this shit like a hooker. It is psychotic for he and his flunkies don't understand how the government actually works. It is not only dangerous, it is another mark in the Impeach him column. He is ripping the country apart.

When a punk ass "reality" bitch turns half the country against a sitting president for an insane and demented cursade the media NEVER turn to the Kumquat and told him to STFU show they have some sort of a disorder. Joe Joe doesn't seem to realize all these KKKlowns have a fucking clue as to what they are doing.

And that Mika isn't uncouth, it is seditious. Dumb ass.

[KingCharlemagne]

18. This weekend Trump abused his power. That is and has been an impeachable offense since

Tricky Dick.

[whathehell]

28. Who cares how stupid Joe is?

Who cares about the messenger, it's the message that counts...Not a fan of MJ myself, but at
this point it might be better to drop all the resentment and just be glad people are.finally waking up.

[mobeau69]

29. Yep, we can use all the help we can get.

The ultimate goal of impeachment should be preeminent.

[whathehell]

37. I'm actually hoping for an invocation of the 25 Amendment as

it seems like it might be quicker, but impeachment is too.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Joe's awakening as temporary as Trump's Tuesday speech

Now that the idiot is in power, it's safe for Joe to tag toward reason

Where was Joe in the months and weeks leading up to the election?

[reflection]

20. Fuck you Joe.

Sideways, with a rusty iron rod covered in brillo pads, wrapped in barbed wire, and dipped in rock salt. Until you own up to putting the Cretin Treasonous Cheeto in office, I DGAF what you have to say. Own that shit.

[brooklynite]

22. Good thing MJ doesn't watch MJ any more, huh?

[Gamecock Lefty]

27. "There was a belief this guy had turned the corner???"

Really, Joe? Because he, as you say, acted presidential for an hour during a speech??? He's acted presidential for an hour in his entire life and he's turned the corner?

1 hour out of 613,200 (70 years). Stay classy, Trump.

Joe, you are part of the problem why this guy was elected. Deal with it. The rest of us saw it coming.

[StevieM]

34. I didn't think he was too presidential in that speech. I didn't think he was being presidential when

he slowly and carefully enunciated the words "radical Islamic terror."

I didn't think he was being presidential when he talked about VOICE.

I didn't think he was being presidential when he talked about not representing the world.

[Saboburns]

30. It's a shame somebody can't ask Joe

"Hey you're not gonna go soft on me the next time he reads a teleprompter speech are you?"

[FakeNoose]

32. What further proof do we need?

Trump is demonstrably insane. Instead of the Oval Office he should be in a padded cell.

[Perseus]

41. Insanity all over...

What is it that so many people want to give Trump a pass?

"saying the “presidential” Trump the country saw during his Tuesday speech is now gone. " Because the guy gave a speech that someone wrote for him, that had lies all over it, with resolutions that will hurt the country, and just because he used good English to read what was given to him, which he did not write himself, people are going to see the monster in a different light?

What is wrong? Trump has never been presidential, has never behaved with class, doesn't have any ability to make speeches that make sense, his brain just cannot function that way.

I don't know how intelligent Trump is, one never knows when people like him would rather show stupidity to keep the public wondering and talking about things that are unimportant in order to continue, behind the scene, developing the cruel agenda he and his minions (Ryan, McConnell, Bannon, etc.) have planned.

One example is Maduro, in Venezuela, he has kept the country making jokes about him, criticizing his intelligence, but he continues to say things that can only come from someone with a very low IQ, and in the meantime he has moved his agenda forward, passes laws that help his cronies, Cuba, but screw the people and the country...

This is a similar situation and democrats need to be careful and not underestimate Trump and the GOP...

Chavez & Maduro ---> Cuba, Fidel Castro
Trump & GOP --------> Russia, Putin

There are more similarities than differences...be very aware.

[CrispyQ]

42. And where was Morning Joe during the primaries & the run up to the General?

Oh yeah, kissing Trumps butt. No mention of tax returns. No investigation of bad business deals. No reporting on bilking his contractors. Instead, it was a love fest for Trump.

Fuck you Joe. And Mika too. Both of you & Andrea Mitchell, too, harping on HRC & her foundation while you all excused this horribly compromised man.

[ProfessorPlum]

43. who gives a fuck what Mourning Joe says

that assholish, mistress-killing, smug piece of garbage has no more insight into how the country works than Rush Limbo or Drudge. Yet every day we have to have a report about what he "says".

[Cha]

44. Yeah, pundits who pushed "pivot" .. you look like you never knew

trump @ all.. totally disregarding all his previous shite to bank on one read speech by the fucking Siberian Candidate.
