Joe Scarborough broke down Donald Trump's entire campaign message into the simple tagline 'America sucks.'

In the aftermath of former President Donald Trump's Super Tuesday victory speech, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough launched a scathing critique, taking issue with Trump's characterization of the United States as a "third-world country." Trump, who claimed unity during his presidency, now alleges that America is divided and facing challenges akin to a third-world nation.

During Wednesday's Morning Joe, Scarborough expressed his dismay at Trump's campaign message for 2024:


"Donald Trump's message is America sucks."

You can watch what he said in the clip below:

Scarborough pointed to all the ways the United States is leading the world:

"Unemployment below 4% two years running for the first time since the 1960s. Inflation down to 3.1%, historically low. You look at our GDP, compare that to the rest of the world."

"We're doing better than all of our friends. We're doing better than all of our allies."

"Our economy is stronger than ever relative to the rest of the world. Our military is stronger than ever relative to the rest of the world."

He went on:

“To me, the most offensive is that we’re a third-world country, that our economy sucks, that our military sucks, that our democracy sucks, when in fact just the opposite is true."
"We are the greatest in the world. I’m proud to be an American. This is the greatest country in the world, and yet Donald Trump wins votes.”
“What is wrong with you people? Why do you hate America? Why do you vote for a guy that says America is terrible? That it is a third-world country when all the evidence is to the contrary.”
"This is why they lose every year because they run campaigns dedicated to trashing the greatest country on the face of the earth.”

Many concurred with Scarborough's assessment.


Despite securing victories in the Super Tuesday nominating contests, Trump delivered a victory speech that lacked celebration and instead focused on ominous depictions of what he portrayed as a bleak future for the country if President Joe Biden is re-elected.

Addressing supporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump made no reference to former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, his lone GOP rival, and outlined a range of grievances, arguing that the country was heading towards chaos under Biden's leadership.

Trump claimed Americans have "watched our country take a great beating over the last three years" and once again reiterated his "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from him, saying "we’re a third-world country at our elections."

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
