-snip-
On Morning Joe on Monday, co-host Joe Scarborough railed against Trumps decision to keep picking fights with media organizations such as the New York Times over their reporting on his faltering campaign. Scarborough played clips of Trump telling rally goers that the Times is a failing newspaper thats going to be out of business very soon.
These are the most dishonest people, Trump said of the Times reporters. The good news is
the newspapers going to hell. Theyve got a couple of reporters at the newspaper who are so bad, with, I mean, lack of talent.
Scarboroughs reaction to Trumps rant was blunt. Thats a guy who knows hes going to lose, he said. I dont know that hes ever wanted to win but its just
sad and pathetic, whats going on out there, if you are a Republican and you would actually like to control one branch of government after this election.
Scarborough finished by saying that Trump has been even below his own expectations because hes been on his absolute worst behavior over the past month. This is a guy whos in self-destruct mode, the Morning Joe co-host concluded.

(30,813 posts)It was amusing all these months to hear about Trump's strategy and the planned pivot - as if he was a normal candidate who could think, plan and strategize clearly.
The man is consumed by his personality disorders. It's been clear almost from the beginning that he is incapable of playing politics successfully.

(15,238 posts)That is the same philosophy that created Joe he shares the same political DNA of modern Republicans. Trump is what you get with unrestricted financial ambition. The last Republican candidate Romney was merely a nihilistic corporate raider. Trump is a corporate anarchist willing to destroy everyone for his personal profit. What created Joe created Trump. Trump wants you Joe he will own you, Joe you are not that exceptional. When this is over Trump will need a new gig and Joe you and your kind are vulnerable. Someone somewhere thinks Trump is a useful idiot. Even when Trump loses he will stand tall in a room full of other pathetic loser idiots.
