‘Morning Joe’ Gives Verdict on Trump’s Congress Speech & Notices One Big Thing
Joe Scarborough gave his scathing verdict on President Donald Trump‘s address to Congress on Wednesday’s (March 5) Morning Joe, saying it sounded like the speech was “written by ChatGPT.”
The host immediately tore into Trump’s speech, saying, per Mediaite, “I just heard on Ali’s show one of the best summaries, it really was almost like it was written by ChatGPT. I mean, I was thinking like the fifth verse, same as first, second, third, fourth.”
“You know, there were the insults, there were the taunts, there were the exaggerations. There was a partisanship, top to bottom. There were personal attacks, attacking people by name,” he continued. “And of course, the facts that were just wrong, whether it was the United States spending more money on Ukraine or calling himself the greatest president with the greatest start.”
During his speech, Trump ranked himself above George Washington as the “greatest” president of all time while calling former President Joe Biden “the worst president in American history.”
“Oh, by the way, did you hear? That number two was George Washington? I have not seen the historical treatise on that yet. But that’s what President Trump said last night,” Scarborough added.
The MSNBC host then addressed Trump’s complaints about how Democrats wouldn’t “stand up and clap and be nice,” noting, “This after he’d already taken to insulting them and calling Joe Biden the worst president in American history. I’m quite confident that 10… 20 years from now, when they’re ranking presidents, Joe Biden will be doing very well, along with other presidents that have actually gotten bipartisan things accomplished.”
Scarborough went on to say the speech was full of “nonsense,” adding, “I cannot believe an independent voter wouldn’t look at this speech and just turn it off and just go, ‘enough’s enough.'”
Morning Joe‘s Scarborough and his wife and co-host, Mika Brzezinski, have been vocal critics of Trump over the past few years. However, last November, the pair faced criticism when they revealed they’d traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump and have an open discussion following his election victory.

Joe and Mika speak a raw truth that must be heard. Unfortunately, people stick to their biases regardless of what anyone else may say. To point out the exaggerations and misrepresentations of the Republicans is a necessary task. We can't just accept statements without scrutiny is being negligent of everyone's responsibility as Americans! It seems people have become mindless robots not using their God-given brains, but following the latest fad/scam/dogma, without question.

It never ceases to amaze me what delicate little snowflakes Trump supporters are, clutching their pearls and reaching for the smelling salts at the least bit of criticism. It’s sad, actually.

I really despise Trump. It was really hard to hear the Republicans respond to him like Reagan was being responded to I mean it was like a flashback I was in fifth grade again and it was Reagan up there and being cheered like that with the sound was like identical crazy! Anyway I decide from that I think also the style of the speech made me think if Peggy Noonan was riding the speech. I didn't think it was an AI speech unless you asked AI to say write a speech for Trump the way Peggy Noonan wrote a speech for Reagan and that would have been Trump's joint session to Congress speech! You know minus all the insults and the overt narcissism. This was reaganesque speech.

What in the world is wrong with some people. What did the Dems expect after the crap they put Trump thru the last four years . I could not believe the crazy stuff that tax payers money was wasted on. No wonder the country is broke. How can anyone defend this kind of crazy crap funded by America.
