On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Joe Scarborough commented on the second, undisclosed conversation between President Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit by saying that everyone can “safely assume the worst.”
Scarborough said, “[B]ecause of what Donald Trump has done in the past, reporters, foreign policy analysts, and our allies can safely assume the worst. They can safely assume the worst of Donald Trump. They can safely assume the worst of Vladimir Putin. Because, in the last meeting that Donald Trump had with Russians before Putin, he was talking to their foreign minister and their ambassador to the US. And he was talking about firing James Comey and saying that he’d gotten the pressure of everybody because he had fired the nutcase who was investigating Donald Trump’s possible illegal ties with Russia. So, what are we to assume, if not the worst, that he had this meeting, the White House didn’t reveal it, once again, we had to find out about it through third channels, and there wasn’t even an American within earshot to listen to what these two talked about for an hour?”
