Joe Scarborough: Trump Tweets About 'Electoral Corruption' and Re-Vote Are 'Actions of a Tyrant'

Over the weekend, Trump tweeted:




Which he followed on Sunday with:




Scarborough responded to this political rhetoric by very carefully NOT calling Trump a tyrant, choosing instead to claim that these were the “actions of a tyrant.”

“Donald Trump tweeting in Arizona that signatures don’t match, electoral corruption. This is the action of a tyrant. This is how tyrants behave. I’m not saying that Donald Trump is. That but he is borrowing their language,” Scarborough said.

Guest Donny Deutsch took the tyrant metaphor further, suggesting that if Trump were to lose a re-election bid in 2020, he would refuse to leave the White House and call in the military to protect him. If that hypothetical sounds familiar, it’s because it was suggested in 2012 by right-wing extremists certain that then President Obama would do the same. Both suggestions were absurd.

I'm a big fan of his, but if "it" refuses to vacate the premises, the military and FBI will help him find his way to the door.

until Trump declined to give Joe a job in his administration. Just because they turned on him doesn't mean they aren't horrid pieces of shit.
