The cutest thing you will see all day:

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/msnbcs-joe-scarborough-calls-for-congress-to-bail-out-trump-properties-for-one-alarming-reason/

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough thinks Senate Democrats should go ahead and bail out President Donald Trump’s hotels and other properties so he’ll focus on public health instead of his own bottom line.

...

... it’s extraordinarily important that Donald Trump’s own companies are not exempted from this bill, from this relief because by exempting Donald Trump’s companies, you give him the worst incentives to reopen this government — or to reopen this country quickly.”

...

“Donald Trump, as I said earlier, he makes decisions based on his bottom line,” Scarborough said. “It’s always been that way. By exempting Donald Trump and his businesses from getting relief, what you are doing is you’re actually encouraging him to make rash decisions that are going to hurt America, and since we have a five-person panel to make sure that this isn’t a slush fund, don’t you think the wisest move, the most prudent move, and, yes, I will say this, the fairest move that the Senate can make is to let Donald Trump and his companies get the same relief that every other business in their position will be getting?”


Scarborough thinks that Trump will "pivot" and start behaving presidential if you give him money.

Such a childlike innocence warms my heart.

Makes me want to hug Scarborough and ruffle his hair.

2. Joe is quite naive. You can't treat trump like a normal human being. He's not.

If he got 10 million he'd want 20.

Art of the steal.

4. If Trump is so worried about his business that he can't do his job as president

He can resign so as to devote all his attention to his loved ones (i.e., his business properties). America deserves a president who can do his job, not put his own concerns above that of the country.

Next time a thought crosses your brain, Joe, just let it die of loneliness okay?

never, ever, reward their tantrum. It just encourages more bad behavior.
