Scarborough: ‘We Have to Do Everything We Can Do to Make Sure this President Succeeds’

Tuesday in reaction to President Donald Trump’s new, “somber” approach to battling the coronavirus pandemic, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough seemingly changed his tune on how to treat the president.

Scarborough admitted Trump has made it “very difficult” to hope he succeeds, but said he hopes Trump’s remarks about the coronavirus make for a “new beginning” and he hopes everyone can work together to help him succeed.

“We all have to work together,” Scarborough declared. “I am hopeful that the White House and that the president continues this somber approach. Because, you know, at the beginning of this administration, when we had a lot of leaders, like, well, your father, Robert Gates, others, all said we only have one president at a time. We have to do everything we can do to make sure this president succeeds. Well, obviously, this president has made that very difficult over the past three years. I’m hopeful that yesterday was a new beginning, especially as it pertains to this battle that we’re all facing.”

He added, “We need buy-in from all Americans to win this battle against a pandemic that will end up killing at least 100,000 Americans most likely.”
