Scarborough Calls for 25th Amendment: Trump's Presser Show's He's 'Obviously' Not Fit for Office

The way Joe Scarborough sees it, President Donald Trump‘s rambling 90-minute press conference is all the proof the country should need to invoke the 25th Amendment.

The conversation started for Morning Joe on Thursday with a discussion on Mitt Romney‘s criticisms of Trump and what the GOP really thinks about the president’s character. Scarborough eventually connected this to Trump’s press conference by saying that “if we had a cabinet that was filled with people with more character,” or if “we had a House and a Senate that took their job seriously,” they would’ve already taken action to remove Trump from office.

“There would be people going up to the White House this morning saying, ‘Mr. President, questions abound whether you were fit for this office,” Scarborough said. “If this continues, we are going to ask your Cabinet to take a vote on whether you were fit for office and invoke the 25th Amendment.”

Scarborough went on by saying that if any of America’s past presidents behaved as Trump does, Republicans would’ve taken up an impeachment against them a long time ago.

“This is a man who obviously is not fit to hold the office, and we’ve known that for a very long time. But he keeps giving a preponderance of evidence to those members of the House and the Senate that will carry that vote. He is not fit, he is not acting fit, and he is pushing foreign policy initiatives that are actually going to do grave damage to this country, our national security and embolden and strengthen our enemy.”

2. Trumps cabinet will keep him in office.

[Andy823]

5. Exactly!

Now way would his gang of pond scum cabinet members ever try and take him out of office. They are all compromised, one way or another.

3. The republican misleader* is dishonorable, and unfit for duty

That the republican party continues to prop him up is clear evidence of their degenerate ethics and morals, and also an heinous betrayal of the USA.

4. Until the GOP see how he is ruining their party for

decades, this won’t happen. Also, what took Joe so long?

[Zoonart]

6. The sight of all of the NEVER Trumpers swooning over that bastard Romney is

really making me sick.

8. Joe would love for...

… Pence to be President... but he and Mika know Crooked Donald is a huge hit for Morning Joe. It doesn't matter, because the cabinet is not doing the 25th Amendment.

9. Unfortunately Joe must have missed the first 20 minutes

That was the part where that Cabinet Joe said was gonna save us all, gave Donald such a tongue bath I could hear the orange one purring two states over.

It's a sight to behold watching those toadies tell Donald how great and smart and wise and handsome and popular he is.

I ain't never seen really real people act like that.

11. I'm sorry........

but this quote of yours:

"gave Donald such a tongue bath I could hear the orange one purring two states over."

WAY TOO MUCH of a visual to be allowed on a public forum!

(My GAWD, you are so right - how can those people even face themselves in a mirror?)

[SpruceMoe1]

10. lol Joe really?

Joe you have front row seat to the fall of the united states of America. The Republicans in the House and Senate are watching too and just like you put party over country and allow it to fall before doing something that would " hurt the party."

[UpInArms]

12. The Dump forces his cabinet to make loyalty oaths ... to him

and then they have to say crap like this while the cameras roll

[nitpicker]

13. Despite the calls to take action

Even his stunt of threatening to declare a national emergency won't make it happen.

[Vinca]

14. There must be a reason the GOP refuses to act. I suspect they're all owned by Russia.
