Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough unloaded on President Donald Trump’s address to Congress as “nonsense” that could have been “written by ChatGPT” and laughed out loud at the president for ranking himself the “greatest” – above George Washington.
In his first address to Congress of his second term on Tuesday, Trump declared his administration was “just getting started,” touting aggressive cuts to the federal workforce, a combative foreign policy shift, and sweeping tariffs.
Throughout, the president ridiculed his political adversaries, mocking former President Joe Biden as the “worst president in American history” and deriding Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas” while dismissing Democratic economic policies as a “socialist disaster.”
During Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Scarborough unleashed on the speech from the jump, blasting the president for delivering an address he said would make independent voters want to “turn it off.”
I just heard on Ali’s show one of the best summaries, it really was almost like it was written by ChatGPT. I mean, I was thinking like the fifth verse, same as first, second, third, fourth. You know, there were the insults, there were the taunts, there were the exaggerations. There was a partisanship, top to bottom. There were personal attacks, attacking people by name. And of course, the facts that were just wrong, whether it was the United States spending more money on Ukraine or calling himself the greatest president with the greatest start.
Oh, by the way, did you hear? That number two was George Washington? I have not seen the historical treatise on that yet. But that’s what President Trump said last night.
And, of course, the question early on, why can’t Democrats just stand up and clap and be nice? This, of course, after he’d already taken to insulting them and calling Joe Biden the worst president in American history. I’m quite confident, quite confident that 10 – 20 years from now, when they’re ranking presidents, Joe Biden will be doing very well, along with other other presidents that have actually gotten bipartisan things accomplished.
But I will say, for me. So there’s just so much nonsense. I cannot believe an independent voter wouldn’t look at this speech and just turn it off and just go, enough’s enough.
