Joe Scarborough: Obama failed because he came into office as 'black Jesus'

23 NOV 2016 AT 09:04 ET

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asserted this week that Barack Obama’s presidency was easily undermined because came into office like he was “black Jesus.”

During a discussion about Donald Trump’s improving approval ratings on Wednesday, Scarborough concede that Obama was more popular after he was elected. But he said that the new president would benefit from low expectations.

“Obama came in as black Jesus,” the MSNBC host declared. “I don’t want to come in as redneck Jesus if I’m a president of the United States. You want to come in where people — like Ronald Reagan — actually underestimate you.”

“And the media, once again, has done Donald Trump a great favor,” he continued. “What have they told us over the past week? He’s a white supremacist, he’s a Nazi, he’s bringing Nazis back to America.” According to Scarborough, the media “are fools” because they are trying to destroy Donald Trump “the wrong way.”

I keep hearing Trump referred to as Cheeto Jesus. As far as President Obama is concerned, he was historic. He broke through the white male cycle and Republicans collectively lost their shit.

Personal adviser while interviewing him as a "neutral reporter" during the election, who cares what he says? That was an extreme conflict of interest and no wonder he was always kissing up to Trump, they were in bed together.
