"He'll get money from the Saudis. He'll make money from Putin when he gets out that's why he's been Putin's lapdog. Donald Trump is all about money," the 'Morning Joe' co-host said on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough has a bold political prediction: he doesn't think President Donald Trump will run for re-election in 2020.
"I don't think Donald Trump's going to run for re-election. He didn't want to be elected president, he didn't think he would be elected president. He didn't even think he was going to get the Republican nomination. He's going to cash out," he explained during an appearance with co-host and fiancee Mika Brzezinski on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday night.
"He'll get money from the Saudis. He'll make money from Putin when he gets out, that's why he's been Putin's lapdog. Donald Trump is all about money," Scarborough added. The duo had been discussing potential candidates when Scarborough made the comment.
To that end, Brzezinski said she believes former Vice President Joe Biden could run, as could former Secretary of State John Kerry. "I love Kamala Harris," she added, referring to the Democratic California senator.
Colbert also asked the duo, who are frequent targets of the president, how they handle his "nicknames" and insults such as "crazy Mika" and "psycho Joe." "You laugh at it," Scarborough explained. Colbert joked that he was jealous and wanted a Trump nickname as well.
The two also slammed Trump for his response to the disappearance and likely murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, calling it "pathetic" and "a complete embarrassment."
"We now are basically selling out our interests nationwide, our values, who we are as a nation," Scarborough added.
Khashoggi was considered a dissident to Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, with whom Trump has previously been friendly. Trump later said he promises "severe punishment" for the culprit.
The two were on The Late Show to promote the re-release of Brzezinski's 2011 book, Know Your Value.
I know. It’s ridiculous on so many levels. For a guy who never wanted to be President, Trump has sure put a lot of time into it for the past 3 years and is clearly enjoying himself. And for a guy who is supposedly going to ‘cash out’, he sure has given up a lot of opportunity for financial gain. Slow Joe is a clueless idiot.
I saw a big compilation for the first time back in August. By the end, my face hurt after a solid 15 minutes of grinning from ear-to-ear.
It was like watching a race where the first-race rookie is just behind the cheaty veteran for the whole race except that last bit where they slingshot from behind to take the flag in the last two seconds!
Well, it was really Trump in the lead the whole time. The media told everyone she was the leader until she came up short.
Scarborough is a windup NPC.
Did you see the pictures of Joe in the back room of the gay biker bar in nothing but a black leather vest?
See Joe, we know how to play your games too. We just don’t lower ourselves to your level.
Or arranged for her murder. I think he had a solid alibi as he was in DC that weekend with plenty of witnesses. Obviously the case stank to high heaven in his district and the GOP establishment and the Sheriff as well told Scarborough the matter would be let lie if he cleared out of Florida and stayed gone. If he didn't the Sheriffs Dept. and DA would keep digging and had a good idea they would strike paydirt.
Scarborough must be hooked on some powerful drugs because he’s apparently unaware POTUS already has over $106,000,000.00 in his 2020 RE-ELELECTION ACCOUNT!
Hes still pissed Trump didnt give him a job.
He's become too controversial & that is hurting his brand said this money guy on TV
Too bad someone like Mark Fuhrman doesn’t reopen that cold case.
Trump is worth 3.1 billion... (A billion is equal to a thousand millions...)
Joe Scarborough is worth $25 million.
Maybe Joe’s projecting... AND he’s an idiot.
Joe is another that should be behind bars
Of course Mika would love Kamala. They’re both fishbreathed home wreckers.
TRUMP is an egomaniac! He wants to become the best Republican President EVER! It will take more than 4 years to achieve that!
Joe is such a braindead IDIOT!
DId I miss something? Trump has put two people on the supreme court? I wouldn’t be counting ahead just yet ...
Sick. “I love Kamala Harris”, Willie’s hand maiden could not get elected dog catcher. My new nickname for Jika is the Bubble Couple. They live in a self delusional bubble where all their party guests tell them how cool they are.
What is Scarborough smoking?
President Trump filed paperwork for re-election right after he was inaugurated.
Did anyone notice that when these wackos appear on Colbert’s “show” they double down on their mental disabilities. It’s as if they need to impress him with their radicalism and over-the-top hatred for Trump (and America).
