Joe Scarborough slams Trump’s ‘crazed rage’ at reporter: ‘I’m worried about him’

MS NOW host Joe Scarborough used Friday's "Morning Joe" to voice alarm over President Donald Trump's temper, after Trump lashed out at a Reuters journalist on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. Scarborough said such outbursts at routine questions have become a pattern over the past month or two, and that both White House staff and the public should be concerned. He added that he worries about the president's well-being.

The confrontation came when Reuters reporter Jacob Bogage asked whether Trump had dropped weekend campaign stops because he was tired of traveling. Trump called Bogage disgusting and told the reporter to get in shape, insisting he simply felt no need to visit Kansas. The Republican National Committee had announced on Thursday that rallies in Kansas and Iowa, both increasingly competitive, would not go ahead as planned, with phone rallies in nearly 20 states offered instead. By Friday, a White House official told MS NOW that Trump was expected to visit both states Sunday, saying the events had been shifted to fit the phone events.

Scarborough rejected Trump's explanation as a lie, citing Republican operatives who told him the race was lost a week ago.
