Joe Scarborough: Trump is 'Growing Increasingly Disinterested in His Job, Increasingly Angry'

Joe Scarborough shared on Wednesday morning reports that he’s heard and read that President Donald Trump is growing increasingly disinterested in his job, increasingly angry.

According to the Morning Joe host, and is fellow panelist Willie Geist, the president’s sour mood comes from a confluence of events, namely the political loss suffered from last week’s midterm elections, combined with the ongoing investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Because the Democratic party took control, there is a belief that the House of Representatives will soon act as a much more aggressive check and balance on the Executive Branch by going so far as to subpoena Trump’s tax returns. The ostensible reason for that action is to determine if he has made policy decisions that have led to personal financial benefit instead of benefiting the nation’s best interest.

And now that the midterms have passed, the Mueller investigation report is looming. On Monday evening it was reported that President Trump sat with his attorneys to provide written answers to questions presented by the office of Special Counsel.

1. Time to resign. I think he wants out but he doesn't have any good options here

for getting out unless Pence signs an ironclad pardon agreement.

2. "Uninterested", Joe, Not "Disinterested", Jesus Christ, I Wish It Were The Latter

3. He never has liked the job

But having a groveling Congress fed his ego and made life easy. Now w/ the prospect of a hostile Congress and knowing he will actually have to work to make deals instead of just snapping his fingers and issuing a decree, has caused him, to realize the situation he's in. I expect this to continue to spiral out of control more and more over the next year.

a cornered animal is the most dangerous

5. Let's start a rumor that Trumpy is considering making a deal vis a vis resignation.

It might even be true.

6. He HATES the JOB of President.

I think he thought that world leaders would suck up to him the way other grifters have all of his life. He never expected that he would be the only grifter at the world table. They all hate him and ice him out, with the exception of the Master.

The actual job is exceptionally hard work even for those who are prepared intellectually and physically. He is trapped like a rat. A rat under a microscope and a million watt heat lamp. He really can't resign, because the office is the only fire wall he has against indictment.
