Morning Joe: Trump Has Adopted Putin's Position & Turned Against the US

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said this morning that Donald Trump may be working for the Kremlin. He said there’s no other explanation for Trump’s attacks on U.S. intelligence, military officials and law enforcement agencies. In beginning his show today, he showed clips of Trump’s attacks and said: “I’m horrified. Is this as weird as it gets?”

Scarborough, in a very shocked voice, expressed his opinion that it should be obvious to everyone by now that Trump has adopted the position of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin against American law enforcement and intelligence officials. 

“People need to stop saying that Donald Trump is taking a different position than all of his intel chiefs and from the United States military, from the CIA director, from the NSA, from the FBI director, from all the directors that he himself selected, all Republicans,” Scarborough said.

......

And former CIA director John Brennan said:

“The more he just goes in with his gut and the less he listens to intelligence and diplomats and our military officials and generals, the less he is going to be able to protect our national security.”

Joey Scar, we remember the hours of free media time Trump got, even if it was just an empty lectern with no candidate. What we don't remember are the in-depth reports of how the Con didn't pay his contractors, used undocumented labor, is a sexual predator, sued anyone who made unflattering claims about him, declared bankruptcy, & hasn't divulged his tax returns. Fucking asshole. You helped give us Trump. ~insert flip-the-bird smilie here
