Scarborough: WaPo Wouldn’t Let Me Write in Column That Source Said Trump Has Dementia (Mediaite)

Joe Scarborough said on MSNBC Monday morning that he tried to write in a Washington Post column that a source close to Donald Trump told him the president had early onset dementia — but that the paper axed the line.

During a Morning Joe interview with Michael Wolff — whose new book calls into question Trump’s mental fitness — Scarborough noted “for the past year, we’ve had people around Donald Trump saying he’s not fit to be president.”

Scarborough continued that there’s been a reluctance to confront questions of Trump’s mental state publicly — noting that while he’s “not knocking” the Washington Post, the paper has not let him write about the issue.
