In the decade he's known Donald Trump, Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough said he's "never seen him act like this before." "It's unhinged, it's not the Donald Trump I've known for over a decade," Scarborough said on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday. "I never have seen anything remotely resembling this type of behavior from a guy who I've known and liked and called a friend."
Scarborough is far from the only one concerned about the Republican presidential nominee either. In recent days, Scarborough said he's been getting calls from "Republicans, from officials, from people that the media would call 'right-wing bloggers'" asking about Trump's mental health. "It's not like there [were] talking points that were shot out by the DNC or by anybody else," Scarborough said. "Everybody was talking about his mental health yesterday. Everybody was calling me, saying, 'What's happening to him? What is wrong with him?'"
