Thursday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough warned governors not to listen to President Donald Trump when it comes to reopening their states because he “doesn’t care” about them.
Scarborough insisted Trump is “looking to blame” governors if states reopen too quickly and cause a surge in coronavirus cases, so he urged governors both Republican and Democrat alike to “listen to the medical experts” instead of the president.
“If you listen to Donald Trump, governors, he is looking to blame you. … Donald Trump is freaked out right now,” Scarborough proclaimed. “He is concerned about his own reelection. He is looking at you, governors, to throw you under the bus.”
“So now, because the president told us how great China was early on, saying how transparent China was being because he said that it was only one person from China and it’d go away because we were drumming it up and medical doctors were creating a hoax out of all of this, he is now desperately trying to blame it on you,” he added.” So, whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, he doesn’t care. Take care of yourself. Take care of your family. Take care of your constituents. Listen to them. Listen to doctors. OK? Listen to the medical experts, and proceed safely. Alright?”
