Led by co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" panel on Monday ripped into Donald Trump for his 2 AM Thanksgiving morning rage-post on Truth Social, which was followed by a holiday weekend of more angry diatribes on the social media platform.
The segment kicked off with the two hosts alternately reading segments of the post that began, "Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia 'Peekaboo' James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a 'Psycho,' Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a “tiny” Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial," before the former president concluded with raging at, "all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
Noting the four-times indicted president's post wasn't exactly in the Thanksgiving spirit, host Scarborough summed it and other posts throughout the weekend as Trump stating unequivocally "America sucks."
"Talk about how sick it is to say that America is a rotten nation before you were president of the United States, American carnage, and then you become president of the United States and America has four of the most tumultuous years later, and the second he leaves and is blamed by the American people, he goes back to saying that America sucks again," said Scarborough. "How grotesque that Donald Trump only thinks America is great when Donald Trump is president."
"Yeah, because he doesn't care about America nearly as much as he cares about himself," replied Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO).

"I'm sorry, Claire, you could have stopped after America, could have just put a period there. Because there is no evidence over the last eight years that I've ever seen that shows that Donald Trump cares a damn about America. He just doesn't. He cares about himself," Scarborough replied.
"He cares about himself, he has no guiding philosophy, he has no ideology, he has no policies he really believes in, other than the guy -- the only thing he believes in is the guy he sees in the mirror, that he looks at probably more often than is ever healthy for any human being." McCaskill added. "And his marketing is all about grievance. He is a marketer, a guy who knows how to market things, not build them, just market them. he is marketing always just to grievance, never to unity, never to aspirational hope we all want America to have, never pride in America, just grievance."
After Scarborough noted Trump's attacks on Joe Biden's age, McCaskill replied, "Frankly, on mental capabilities, you know, the ageism thing, look at the way Donald Trump behaves. Who is more unstable? Who is the one who doesn't know where he is part of the time, doesn't know who he is running against, doesn't know what year it is, doesn't know world leaders and what countries they're from?"
"It is really, if you isolate his comments and look at them objectively, he is the one who is suffering from a problem related to declining ability in later life, not Joe Biden," she added.
