Scarborough: N. Korea Move an Effort by Trump to Distract from Stormy Daniels

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "But Willie, look, let’s just look back at this week. You had Donald Trump enraged by some events earlier, the leaving of Hope — Hope Hicks’ announcement that she was leaving, a testimony that didn’t go so well, the House Intel Committee, several other things crashing at the same time. And the news reports were, out of the White House, that the President was angry, and so, he just struck out and decided to push tariffs, and he did it without talking to any of his economic advisers. He lost his most able economic adviser, Gary Cohn. And then fast-forward a couple of days, and the President is consumed in the story of a payoff to a porn star, which now we’re hearing he was angry at his press secretary for mistakenly telling the truth. And suddenly, you have the foreign policy community shocked and caught off guard by the most significant announcement a commander-in-chief could make in 2018. So, tariffs and North Korea, all to distract from a president that didn’t go through the proper channels or use the proper interagency processes once.”
