Former President Donald Trump has become engulfed in a whirlwind of legal turmoil. Slapped with a staggering 34 felony counts and a near half-billion-dollar penalty for charges including fraud, sexual misconduct, and defamation, he has unapologetically declared his thirst for revenge should he reclaim the White House.
Since his damning verdict, the ex-president, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has unleashed his bombast in interviews with Sean Hannity and Dr. Phil. On both occasions, he defiantly refused to retract his threats of vengeance against political adversaries and prosecutors, sending chills down the spine of “Morning Joe” host and viewers alike.
“When somebody tells you who they are, you’re supposed to believe them,” warned Scarborough. “When somebody tells you what they’re going to do, especially Donald Trump, who seems more unhinged than ever, it’s as everybody has been saying, it’s important to believe them.”
He continue: “Rachel Maddow came out a couple of nights ago and said she was concerned that she might be sent to a camp. It sounds crazy, but it’s not, because of what Donald Trump’s been saying. He’s been accusing this network and its parent company of being traitors that need to be banned from the air. Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, who many people believe will be his next CIA director, look straight in the camera and said that they were coming after ‘Morning Joe’ and warned us, as well as our producers, watch out, we’re coming after you. Kash Patel agreed with Steve Bannon. It doesn’t get anymore direct than that.”

“This is is same guy that accused me of being a murderer a dozen or so times, wanting me to be arrested, tried, executed,” Scarborough said. “That was in his first term! Right? So it’s a pretty direct threat to generals who don’t bow down to him, he says should be found guilty of treason and executed. He said he’ll fire any U.S. attorneys that don’t go after his political enemies. We can go on and on and on, but as [co-host] Mika [Brzezinski] said, people need to believe what he’s saying. They need to hear what he’s saying and understand that a second Donald Trump term takes America into a very, very dark place.”
