'Desperate' Trump openly wishing for economic misery to help re-election: Morning Joe
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough went off on Donald Trump for wishing out loud that the U.S. economy would crash in the next 12 months to help his re-election campaign.
The former president credited his own administration for the job market's strength but also claimed the economy was "fragile," saying that a "crash" was inevitable but hoping that it happened before he might potentially be re-elected so he would escape blame, and the "Morning Joe" host added that to the pile of evidence that should disqualify Trump from holding elected office.
"What you have to love is that he's once again exposed himself to show just how horrific of a public servant he would be," Scarborough said. "This is a guy that admitted on television, because he's so focused on himself, that he wants Americans to hurry up and lose their jobs. He wants them to lose their savings, he wants them to lose their 401(k)s. Yes, he wants their retirement accounts to be shattered over the next 12 months. He's that desperate to be elected."

Trump is also simply wrong about the economy's current condition, Scarborough said.
"Now, if you talk to economists from left to right, they will tell you, this economy is stronger than it's been," Scarborough said. "It's more resilient than they ever expected it to be. This economy, you even had conservatives, you had [Wall Street Journal editor] Gerard Baker, no fan of Joe Biden, saying one of the big winners of 2023 last year was the United States economy. It is strong."
