After Scarborough Asked Trump if He Could Read, Trump Picked up the Bible and Gave Perfect Response
The elitist talking heads of the mainstream media elite can be sickening at times. In fact, if you’ve ever felt like the mainstream media thinks you’re stupid, you’re probably right. Donald Trump had one such encounter when he had to deal with “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough after one of the campaign debates.
Last Thursday, Scarborough wrote a op-ed piece for The Washington Post. In it, he describes an after debate interaction with a then-candidate Donald Trump.
Scarborough wrote that he and Mika Brzezinski met with Trump after a debate in September of 2015. He described Trump’s debate performance as “bumbling.”
Then, being the “nice” guy that Scarborough is, he asked if Trump was illiterate.
“Mika Brzezinski and I had a tense meeting with Trump following what I considered to be a bumbling debate performance in September 2015. I asked the candidate a blunt question: Can you read?” Scarborough wrote.
Yeah, I know; hard hitting questions from an unbiased journalist.
He says there was an awkward silence and again asked Trump, “I’m serious, Donald. Do you read? If someone wrote you a one-page paper on a policy, could you read it?”
Trump looked at him, and then peacefully reached over and grabbed the Bible that his mother gave him. He took the Bible and told Scarborough that he reads it “all the time.”
Boom. He may not be your president, but he’s definitely mine.
Scarborough continued to bash the president in the article claiming that the accusations in “Fire and Fury,” that Trump never reads are true. “The world wonders how the United States will survive Donald Trump. And I ask, what will finally move Republicans to deliver a non-negotiable ultimatum to this unstable president?” Scarborough wrote.
“Will they dare place their country’s interests above their own political fears? Or will they move to end this American tragedy only when there is nothing left to lose?” he continued.
No, Joe, it’s not the president who’s unstable. It’s you.
You didn’t even have the decency to talk to Donald Trump after that debate like an adult. Instead, you treated him like a child, which shows just how childish you really are.
Why Scarborough would even write this story is puzzling. This story only shows how big of a jerk Joe Scarborough is and is further evidence for why hardly anyone watches MSNBC.
There’s nothing wrong with asking hard hitting questions. However, this takes it to a whole other level.
