‘It’s getting worse’: Joe Scarborough sounds alarm on Trump’s ‘rambling and incoherent’ speech patterns

President Donald Trump’s twin interviews with the Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito and CBS’s John Dickerson have drawn significant controversy — and Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough is worried.

During his interview with Zito, the president made historically illiterate claims about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War, as he said that Jackson was “very angry” about the war despite the fact that he died 16 years before it started.

The president also angrily walked out of his interview with Dickerson after the reporter pressed him for evidence to back up his unproven claim that former President Barack Obama had illegally wiretapped him.

Taking stock of both interviews, Scarborough said that his bogus claims about the Civil War and his “rambling” to John Dickerson were “equally concerning.” “His speech is even more rambling and incoherent than before,” Scarborough said. “It is getting worse.”

...in the first place.

You're the guy who let him phone in day after day, tossing him puffballs (softballs would have been tougher).

When people talk about how many billions dollars of free media, you are a huge chunk of that. Or rather, "Yuuuuge".

APOLOGIZE for your role in his squatting in the people's house, and then shut up.

A whole seven days until he's back to kissing his ass.

That's gotta sting.

Yesterday someone posted a blurb about a interview with Pence. Pence was pee-oed because he thought Trump would bail in the first month and he would move up to the Big Boy Chair,his exact words.

Had a hunch Joe the Intern Killer would switch horses and appears this is the start. Trash Trump for a few weeks and suddenly his new hero will be Pence.

Watch and see. Comcast is dictating the new message and using their tool in order get their Political Agenda back on track.

back in the room, the look Pence had was telling, Pence knows there is a problem there.

tRump is barely holding his "dignified" self together. Let him get in front of his followers where he can rant, ramble and say completely false things and he goes to town. But in his day to day job as president where he needs to make sense and have a certain amount of decorum, he is lost. I would love to hear from professionals who have been observing him for a while to confirm if they see a real decline. It sure seems that way to the casual observer.

My father was suffering Alzheimer's at the same time. It is sad, I don't know if the Trump children have realized he is in distress, this is something which can not be hidden forever. Melania probably already sees the problem.

Megaphone and platform every.single.day. He was encouraged and rewarded with free airtime for months, thus saving money and he could sit on his throne at home and just call in. They have a lot to apologize for but I don't expect to ever get it. Claiming he is declining now won't cut it since it was obvious then the man was not right in his head.

Where the fuck were you when Agent Orange's craziness and its danger was more than evident from the very beginning of his 2012 campaign, five fucking years ago? You and Mika all but had a passionate public threesome with him right on the desk of your stupid show, countless times, all through the fucking campaign when it should have been more than evident how crazy and dangerous he was. Well, at least, to those with more than two brain cells to rub together. YOU and your cohort fuckbuddy helped bring this about. So look in the fucking mirror when you're sounding the alarm from now on.
