President Trump: would-be dictator, or mental patient? Nice choice that Morning Joe offered us today!

Scarborough opened the show by saying he and Mika "really differ" in their reactions to President Trump's statement yesterday that he had "total authority," superseding that of governors, to re-open the economy. Mika announced: "President Trump added another step yesterday in his march toward authoritarianism. He tried."

Said Scarborough:

"I know, we really differ here. You’re very, very concerned when he talks like that, about the Constitution and the country. I'm actually mainly concerned for his mental health."

President Trump's statement yesterday that he had "total authority," superseding that of governors, to re-open the economy

Actually he does, read Article 1 section 9 again if you must. Not only that, but he has a Real Big Hammer to clobber recalcitrant Politicians in the various States that think it is just fine and dandy to "Suspend the Constitution" and the Rights secured and Protected by it. THEY DON'T, Read Article 1 section 9 AGAIN!!!

Say what?

Who is that dude in the mug shot, and what's the back story?

[OKSooner]

Does he have something to do with Lori?

[A_perfect_lady]

For two weeks they badgered him to declare a federal lockdown and override the Republican governors who weren’t issuing state wide ones. Now that there is the slimmest chance he would override a Democrat governor, suddenly he’s a dictator again.

Like Morning Joe gives a damn about the Bill of Rights, esp Amendment X.

[2CAVTrooper]

The only would-be dictators and mentally deranged are those who reside on the left.
