Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough cursed at the top of Tuesday‘s broadcast in a very early rant about President Trump’s public spat with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Trump ignited a back-and-forth with Pritzker after he threatened to send National Guard troops into Chicago after launching a crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. The president and the Democratic billionaire have since traded headline-grabbing jibes about each other’s weight. “He’s not in good shape,” Pritzker said, after Trump called for Pritzker to hit the gym.
On Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Trump’s attacking style actually plays into his opponents’ hands by amplifying their responses.
“Donald Trump is helping everybody that wants to run, he’s like ‘OK, we’ll give Gavin Newsom his time, we’ll give J.B. Pritzker
