Joe Scarborough Just Said What We're All Thinking About Donald Trump's Presidency, and It Was Savage AF

Joe Scarborough Just Said What We're All Thinking About Donald Trump's Presidency, and It Was Savage AF
MSNBC

Accurate.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough slammed beleaguered President Donald Trump on Wednesday as the country grapples with a volatile stock market and the third government shutdown of 2018.

Scarborough said as the second year of Trump's presidency draws to a close, "optimistic" people have "reason to be concerned" about the state of our country.


“I don’t judge the president by my standards, you don’t have to judge him by your standards,” said Scarborough, a former GOP Congressman. “This morning, just judge him by his own standards. Donald Trump is failing by the very benchmark that he laid out in his own campaign, his campaign promises."

Scarborough blasted the Republican Party, which he abandoned in 2017, for kowtowing to Trump and his reckless impulsivity.

Trump "at some point needed to step up and show leadership, and if he couldn't do it then those around him that influenced him should have done it,” Scarborough continued. “I left the Republican Party less over Donald Trump than I did over the fact that almost every elected official in the GOP has bowed and scraped to Donald Trump.”

Scarborough showed Trump no mercy:

“Treating this man, whose skills are objectively declining on a daily basis, treating this man like an emperor wearing the finest clothes ever made, when, in fact, objectively Donald Trump is on track to be the worst president in modern times, and perhaps ever.”

Watch below:

Some think crossed the 'worst president' threshold long ago.

Trump's holiday message certainly did not help his foundering popularity.

On Tuesday, Trump could not help himself; he used Twitter and Christmas to attack the press.

"I hope everyone, even the Fake News Media, is having a great Christmas! Our Country is doing very well," the president tweeted. "We are securing our Borders, making great new Trade Deals, and bringing our Troops Back Home. We are finally putting America First. MERRY CHRISTMAS! "

Considering the news that Trump never really had bone spurs and that only today did he make his first visit to troops in a combat zone, the blowback on social media was loud.

Trump's lack of self-awareness is remarkable.

And there are still five days left in 2018.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
