Morning Joe Openly Mocks Trump With “Amnesty Don” Nickname — And Twitter Explodes

Joe Scarborough went on a tear Monday morning, mocking Donald Trump as “Amnesty Don,” a nickname referencing his shifting rhetoric/position on immigration.



Here’s the key of his rant:

“A lot of people are calling him Amnesty Don.”

“For 14 months Amnesty Don has been putting illegal immigration at the center of Amnesty Don’s campaign… and yet nobody in Amnesty Don’s own campaign can tell you what Amnesty Don’s position is after Amnesty Don won the primaries promising” to deport 11 million people.

Mika Brzezinski: Trump Needs Mental Help

The time has come for a mental health professional to take a look at Donald Trump on the air, MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski said Monday during a frank discussion of the Republican nominee’s well-being.

Brzezinski began “Morning Joe” by noting tweets sent from Trump’s account Saturday over the death of basketball star Dwyane Wade’s cousin from gun violence in Chicago in which he declared that African-American voters will support him, pointing to the shooting as a symptom that he will solve.

“Morning Joe” devoted a significant portion of its opening block to discussing Trump’s mental health, a day after President Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe described him as a “psychopath.”

“You know, I think at other stages of other campaigns a network might be snarky and like get a psychiatrist out,” Brzezinski said, after former Vermont governor and Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean said Trump exhibited traits of narcissism.
