Mika on Trump: “Terrible Thing to Question Someone’s Patriotism, But…”

On today’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski said of President Trump: “I know it is a terrible thing to question someone’s patriotism. But you wonder what he cares about. You really do. I do.”

A bit later, Mika later expanded on her thought: “You watch a lot of presidents who may be even seen in history now as great presidents. You see the job really sweeping over them, and them rising up to the moment, getting a sense of history, of the sacrifices that so many Americans have made, of our veterans, to be inspired, to perhaps really dig deep and be driven by patriotism. I, I haven’t seen it. I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Note: Later, Joe Scarborough, claiming reluctance, made a not-so-veiled reference to rumors about the Trump/Melania marriage.

Scarborough: “He goes down to Washington, DC. He is inside the White House. He is isolated. His family is still up in New York. And, you know, I don’t want to go too deep into what everybody’s been talking about, but obviously he seems at this point to be isolated from his, his wife [pause] and his family. They’re still in New York. And if ever a president has been isolated, personally, it is Donald Trump inside the White House. That has to have an impact on this man.”

A recent Vanity Fair article alleges tension in the Trump marriage. The press has also made much of the hand-swatting incident.
