Former Republican Congressman and current host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, left the Republican party in July of 2017—around six months after the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Since then, he's used his show to call out the President's (16,000+ and counting) lies—and Tuesday night was no different.

It began when Trump boasted on Twitter about all he's supposedly done as President.

Scarborough was quick to point out the records Trump has broken—but they weren't exactly achievements to be proud of.

The national debt under Trump has skyrocketed to over $23 trillion, while the deficit is expected to surpass $1 trillion. The President frequently boasts about the aspects of the economy handed down by Obama, while spending at a level that Republicans would balk at if he were Obama.

People sided with Scarborough's analysis.







Another astonishing achievement of Trump's? He's the first President to be impeached in his first term.

Scarborough's upcoming book, This Ends Badly: How Donald Trump Conned America, is available for pre-order here.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
