Try for a moment to process what MSBNC “Morning Joe” co-hosts — Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough — said today about their relationship with the president of the United States.<\/p>\n

According to Scarborough, Donald J. Trump’s White House called Scarborough and asked him to apologize for the “negative coverage” he and Brzezinski have done on the president. In return, again according to Scarborough, the president would call his good friend who runs the National Enquirer and spike a story that the publication is going to run about Scarborough and Brzezinski.<\/p>\n

So, if I have this right — and if Scarborough is telling the truth — the president of the United States is now taking time away from matters of state<\/em> to engage even further in a petty and petulant quarrel with the media over “negative coverage.”<\/p>\n

Are there any more examples needed to demonstrate that Donald J. Trump is categorically unfit to hold the office of president?<\/p>\n\n
