Scarborough: This Is the President Who Loves To Insult, Loves To Bully, and Then Pulls Back

‘We’ve been talking about the limits of Donald Trump’s approach which is to threaten, to insult, to bully and then pull back’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “I actually do think a very definite trend is emerging, we’ve been talking about it for some time and also talking about the limits of Donald Trump’s approach which is to threaten, to insult, to bully and then to pull back. He, of course, did it most famously in North Korea, where he bullied, he attacked, he called him Rocketman, he insulted him, and now he’s been apologizing for missile tests that and other president would have criticized. That is what we've been asking here about Iran. This is a president who loves to insult, he loves to bully and he loves to threaten, but what happens when our adversaries understand that he’s never going to follow through? By the way, I don’t think we should actually bomb Iran, unless Britain, France, Germany and all of our other allies are shoulder to shoulder and say, 'We need to go in.' So I'm not here advocating that — I mean, I’m glad Donald Trump stopped this operation at the last moment. And anybody who thinks we need to start blowing up things in Iran without having the world by our side are fools. But anyway, to me, Gene, I’m just curious whether you see there does seem to be a pattern emerging here where the President threatens and then pulls back."
