Morning Joe Obliterates ‘Crazy’ Trump’s ‘Rambling’ Fox & Friends Hit: ‘A Manic Episode on National Television’

Morning Joe, of course, was on the air Thursday during President Donald Trump‘s stunning Fox & Friends appearance. But having had a chance to catch the replay, the MSNBC morning crew has come to a definitive conclusion:

The man is crazy.

Friday morning, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and contributor John Heilemann all tore into the president — deriding him as a loon for making statements which may have legal consequences.

“There is no rational 72-year-old man who acts this way,” Scarborough said. “And I’m not joking…everything he does seems to be against his own best interests. You can talk about how he makes these rambling utterances in public. Before a friendly audience, he thinks. And he ends up hurting himself and two legal cases that have criminal implications?”

Later, Brzezsinki asked Yamiche Alcindor of The New York Times if anybody in the West Wing had the ability to stop the interview.

“Is there anybody who could have grabbed the phone from him and saved him from himself?” Brzezinski said. “Because he was acting crazy. I’m talking about the President of the United States. Unless you don’t think that undermining multiple legal cases building against yourself and speaking extemporaneously in a high-pitched tone, without an ability to control yourself and stop talking, unless you don’t think that’s crazy, it really sounded absolutely crazy yesterday.”

Scarborough then shared his opinion that Trump, at 72, has lost his marbles.

“[T]here is no 72-year-old man with with their wits about them who with go on national television and destroy their legal defense in two cases in one 15-minute interview,” Scarborough said.

Finally, Heilemann added his stunning synopsis.

“There are a variety of things about that interview which is unhinged in a variety of ways,” Heilemann said. He added, “the tone of it was more disturbing in some ways than the substance. He sounded like a person having a manic episode on national television. The high pitch of the voice, the scratchiness, the palpitating quality of it.”
