Morning Joe ridicules 'snowflake' Trump's latest whimpering about mistreatment
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough brutally mocked Donald Trump for claiming that no president had ever been treated worse than him.
The ex-president appeared Wednesday on Newsmax for an interview with host Greg Kelly, who obsequiously asked if anyone had ever endured such travails, and Trump allowed that Andrew Jackson and perhaps Abraham Lincoln had possibly been treated almost as poorly – and the "Morning Joe" host mocked his misery.
"Let's sort through that," Scarborough said. "'Mr. President, you've been treated worse than anybody in history.' Let's start with a couple. Jesus Christ was crucified, little worse. Joan of Arc burned at the stake. That's two we can notch above there. Abe Lincoln assassinated. Martin Luther King assassinated, Bobby Kennedy assassinated, JFK assassinated – that's a little worse. Black Americans, let's see, did anything happen to them? Yes – ripped from their country, ripped from their homes, put in chains, dragged across in slave ships to America where they were slaves from 1619 until 1860 -- that's a little worse. Yeah, I think that's worse than what Donald Trump is going through."

Even worse, Scarborough said, were the former president's supporters who revel in Trump's self-pity.
"These sad, sad people who are so freakish to try to elevate this -- you know, he plays like a strongman, [but] he's such a poor, pathetic, weak, snowflake," Scarborough said. "He's a snowflake. I want Dr. Evil to start talking about his father and how all the things his father did to him, and Donald Trump will next take that on board. 'He accused chestnuts of being lazy.' But it's just so insane that he is -- here, you have this billionaire, was president of the United States, and he's just such a victim, he's so weak. Everybody is picking on him, everybody is trying to play right into the victimhood."
"Listen, we Republicans used to -- I mean, when I was a Republican, we were like, you know what?" Scarborough added. "Don't be the victim, don't be weak, you know, the pull yourself up by your bootstraps type nonsense, that's what Republicans used to be about – personal responsibility. Now it's all victimhood. Look what they've done to me. They're such babies– such whiners."
