Donald Trump is not well
By Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough June 30 at 5:10 AM
President Trump launched personal attacks against us Thursday, but our
concerns about his unmoored behavior go far beyond the personal. America’s
leaders and allies are asking themselves yet again whether this man is fit
to be president. We have our doubts, but we are both certain that the man is
not mentally equipped to continue watching our show, “Morning Joe.”
The president’s unhealthy obsession with our show has been in the public
record for months, and we are seldom surprised by his posting nasty tweets
about us. During the campaign, the Republican nominee called Mika “neurotic
” and promised to attack us personally after the campaign ended. This year,
top White House staff members warned that the National Enquirer was
planning to publish a negative article about us unless we begged the
president to have the story spiked. We ignored their desperate pleas.
The president’s unhealthy obsession with “Morning Joe” does not serve the
best interests of either his mental state or the country he runs. Despite
his constant claims that he no longer watches the show, the president’s
closest advisers tell us otherwise. That is unfortunate. We believe it would
be better for America and the rest of the world if he would keep his 60-
inch-plus flat-screen TV tuned to “Fox & Friends.”
For those lucky enough to miss Thursday’s West Wing temper tantrum, the
president continued a year-long habit of lashing out at “Morning Joe”
while claiming to never watch it. During his early-morning tirade, Mr. Trump
spit out schoolyard insults about “low I.Q. Crazy Mika,” “Psycho Joe”
and much worse. He also fit a flurry of falsehoods in his two-part
tweetstorm.
Mr. Trump claims that we asked to join him at Mar-a-Lago three nights in a
row. That is false. He also claimed that he refused to see us. That is
laughable.
The president-elect invited us both to dinner on Dec. 30. Joe attended
because Mika did not want to go. After listening to the president-elect talk
about his foreign policy plans, Joe was asked by a disappointed Mr. Trump
the next day if Mika could also visit Mar-a-Lago that night. She reluctantly
agreed to go. After we arrived, the president-elect pulled us into his
family’s living quarters with his wife, Melania, where we had a pleasant
conversation. We politely declined his repeated invitations to attend a New
Year’s Eve party, and we were back in our car within 15 minutes.
Mr. Trump also claims that Mika was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
That is also a lie.
Putting aside Mr. Trump’s never-ending obsession with women’s blood, Mika
and her face were perfectly intact, as pictures from that night reveal. And
though it is no one’s business, the president’s petulant personal attack
against yet another woman’s looks compels us to report that Mika has never
had a face-lift. If she had, it would be evident to anyone watching “
Morning Joe” on their high-definition TV. She did have a little skin under
her chin tweaked, but this was hardly a state secret. Her mother suggested
she do so, and all those around her were aware of this mundane fact.
More significant is Mr. Trump’s continued mistreatment of women. It is
disturbing that the president of the United States keeps up his unrelenting
assault on women. From his menstruation musings about Megyn Kelly, to his
fat-shaming treatment of a former Miss Universe, to his braggadocio claims
about grabbing women’s genitalia, the 45th president is setting the poorest
of standards for our children. We were heartened to hear a number of
Republican lawmakers call out Mr. Trump for his offensive words and can only
hope that the women who are closest to him will follow their examples. It
would be the height of hypocrisy to claim the mantle of women’s empowerment
while allowing a family member to continue such abusive conduct.
We have known Mr. Trump for more than a decade and have some fond memories
of our relationship together. But that hasn’t stopped us from criticizing
his abhorrent behavior or worrying about his fitness. During the height of
the 2016 presidential campaign, Joe often listened to Trump staff members
complain about their boss’s erratic behavior, including a top campaign
official who was as close to the Republican candidate as anyone.
We, too, have noticed a change in his behavior over the past few years.
Perhaps that is why we were neither shocked nor insulted by the president’s
personal attack. The Donald Trump we knew before the campaign was a flawed
character but one who still seemed capable of keeping his worst instincts in
check.
