The fact that Donald Trump is spending his afternoon attacking Joe Scarborough instead of preparing to potentially be president speaks volumes about the character and priorities of the presumptive Republican nominee.
The presumptive Republican nominee isnt discussing policy or laying out his blueprint for Americas future. Donald Trump is spending his afternoon tweeting at a morning show host because he had the gall to discuss the potential of a Republican mounting a third party challenge to Trump.
No one, outside of Trump propaganda minister Sean Hannity has given the Republican nominee more favorable cable news coverage than Morning Joe. Yesterday, the Morning Joe team got defensive when director Rob Reiner pointed out how they dont pin down and press Trump in their interviews.
Trumps thin skinned whining about Scarborough reveals a great deal about how he views the media. Donald Trump doesnt appear to believe in a free press or freedom of expression. In Trumps view, the media only exists to compliment Donald Trump.

(40,212 posts)In the months to come we will find out that Trump is even a bigger idiot than we thought.
I can't wait until he comments on Hillary's appearance and calls her fat or says that post- menopausal women can't be attractive. That is going to be a special day.

(1,307 posts)like I didn't buy Joe hanging up on Trump several months ago on air. I believe these feuds may be created by Joe and Trump; it helps Joe look like he's thinking for himself and challenging Trump, and Trump gets attention. Joe may possibly well be considered as Trump's VP. Having it well known that Joe has publicly challenged Trump sets the groundwork for Joe to later claim that Donald "has changed!"
If Trump tweets about Joe's intern or the rumors about his relationship with Mika, then I'll believe it!
