MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: Trump Is Acting Mentally 'Unhinged'
Joe Scarborough opened MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today by questioning Donald Trump's mental competency, given the events of this past weekend.
Scarborough said, "I will tell you why I ask you this. It’s pretty remarkable. I fielded calls all day yesterday from conservatives, from Republicans, from officials, from people that the media would call right-wing bloggers, from whatever you'd call them, and everybody was asking me about his mental health.”
Since I've been covering Trump from the beginning of the presidential campaign, I'vfe wondered the same thing. He's erratic, changes thoughts and topics in mid-sentence, and is a serial liar and exaggerator.
I'm glad other people, even conservatives, are finally discussing it on television.
Scarborough brought up how a psychiatrist tried to analyze Barry Goldwater back in 1964. “But it was all everybody was talking about yesterday. It’s not like there was talking points shot that were out by the DNC or by anybody else. Everybody was talking about his mental health yesterday. Everybody was calling me saying ‘What’s happening to him? What is wrong with him?’
I wonder if the rigors of a long campaign have him using something to keep up his energy. Just watch this short clip I made yesterday and tell me there's not something wrong.
Guest Steve Rattner asked if somebody has to do a psychological profile on "this guy to figure out why he acts the way he acts. Is he really healthy."
