MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said the president’s behavior is growing increasingly “erratic” — and co-host Mika Brzezinski suggested his Cabinet may be preparing a constitutional challenge.
The “Morning Joe” host and his panelists reacted to the alarming Vanity Fair report that described the crisis within the White House, where aides say the president is “unraveling” in a job he’s not suited to hold.
“He’s isolated,” Brzezinski said. “He’s probably going crazy.”
Scarborough and Brzezinski, who have known the president for years, said Trump spent most of his career greeting associates and well-wishers in his office, fielding phone calls and gossiping with reporters — but all that has changed in the White House.
“When he wasn’t isolated, he had people like Omarosa (Manigault) giving him things that got him spinned up and made him act erratically,” Scarborough said. “What we have found through this analysis is, when the president is isolated from people, he’s erratic. When the president is surrounded by people, he’s erratic.”
Chief of staff John Kelly hasn’t been able to stop the chaos since taking the job, and even Trump’s longtime friend Tom Barrack is expressing concern about the president’s temperament and fitness.
“You have to step back as you read this piece,” said co-host Willie Geist. “The president of the United States being contained, being bubble wrapped by people around him so he’s not a harm to himself and others.”
Brzezinski pointed to the appointment of Kirstjen Nielsen, Kelly’s longtime aide, to replace the now-chief of staff as Homeland Security secretary as evidence that the Cabinet may be readying a 25th Amendment challenge.
“That’s Cabinet-level, right?” Brzezinski said. “I don’t think Kelly’s leaving — I think he’s getting his troops in place to act.”
Geist said the Trump presidency is not even 10 months old, but he said these recent reports echoed previous ones showing an angry and erratic president mistrustful of his closest advisers.
“This is not normal, this is crazy that we’re talking about putting the right people in place to contain the man sitting in the Oval Office right now,” Geist said. “I would just add, the 25th Amendment — still a lot of people tweet about it, shout about the 25th Amendment — remains a long shot. It’s the clause that would have to be invoked by the vice president and the Cabinet. That’s a long way to go to ask the vice president and the president’s own Cabinet to remove the president of the United States.”
Scarborough agreed, saying the president’s threats against NBC News showed he didn’t understand his oath to preserve and defend the Constitution.
“He is not well, in the traditional sense of what you want your presidents to be,” Scarborough said. “More and more people in Washington, D.C., are coming to that realization.”
Mika Brzezinski is daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski. She’s plugged into the Democrat butt hole and useful to disseminate misinformation.
Can Mika count to 25?
Rules people!
Hey Joe, how’s the Lori Klausutis investigation coming?
Sounds like the time-tested Soviet tactics at work. Those the Communists opposed were often accused of being mentally ill and were locked up in sanitariums.
This would be a very dangerous strategy for the enemies of Pres. Trump to try.
My pearls!
Somebody’s been into Joey’s pot brownies again...
I love that Trump is so deep into their individual and collective conscious that they sit around in a persistent state of speculative fantasy.
more wishful thinking on the part of the dems and their media lapdogs.
Of which, 99% will do nothing once the first drone strike happens
It is rather interesting how this is playing out. The old guard DOES NOT like Trump.
Mika is a bossy, entitled, bad-nosejobbed diva who isn’t used to the push back she’s experienced from our great President.
My leftist 60-year-old brother is on Twitter going insane, all by himself, tweeting this stuff constantly. No one is “hearting” his comments, but that doesn’t stop him.
Tranlation: President's are supposed to take their direction and follow their orders. But this guy keeps doing things his own way without even asking for permission. That's nuts!
These insufferably arrogant b^&*(%d%s.
Oops? What's that on my chin?
Mika and Joe go off the rails this morning about Kelly thinks Trump is mentally unfit....so Trump sends the General out to do the Presser... hahaha! Kelly tells the reporters they are fake news and backs the President up on all questions fielded.
Really, you just HAVE to love this. BEST PRESENT EVER #MAGA
“MSLSD’s Mika thinks... stopped reading right there.” Absolutely! Any comment that starts with a lie that big should be ignored.
This looks to me like an ultimate act of desperation.
Right now, PDJT is on a roll with a booming stock market, plunging unemployment, winning at SCOTUS in the immigration EO case, starting to get funding for the wall, making progress with Pakistan in recovering hostages, getting judges confirmed,issuing an EO that substantially cuts back ObolaCare, eliminating ISIS, and many other things. There’s also no indication that the Mueller WItch hunt is getting any where. The Weinstein scandal, involving the highest of the DemonRats has just broken out. Hence,they’re desperate, need a diversion, and have dusted off this old go nowhere chestnut.
The problem is not President Trump.
The problem appears to be that it has taken these yo-yos 10 months to figure out that Trump is not a "traditional" president and they are acting like that is a problem. It's not. He's his own man and that's refreshing.
Draining the DC Swamp is not going to be easy. It is not going to be pretty. It is going to be nasty. And it is not going to go well for those slimy swamp dwellers who are thinking they can just make Trump quit or impeach him out of office.
Both of these scenarios are clear signs that Liberals have lost all sense of reason. The Donald has mentally broken them. Not they were that mentally stable to start.
Their new talking points.
