https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/msnbcs-joe-scarborough-calls-for-congress-to-bail-out-trump-properties-for-one-alarming-reason/MSNBCs Joe Scarborough thinks Senate Democrats should go ahead and bail out President Donald Trumps hotels and other properties so hell focus on public health instead of his own bottom line.
...
... its extraordinarily important that Donald Trumps own companies are not exempted from this bill, from this relief because by exempting Donald Trumps 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. Its always been that way. By exempting Donald Trump and his businesses from getting relief, what you are doing is youre 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 isnt a slush fund, dont 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.

If he got 10 million he'd want 20.
Art of the steal.

All Republicans, and especially Donald Trump, are ROTTEN to their core.

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?

he's still likely to wish you into the cornfield on a whim.
