MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is here to throw some belated coal into President Trump's stocking.
In a lengthy monologue at the top of the post-Christmas episode of Morning Joe, Scarborough went off on a tirade against Trump, offering an overview of some of the past week's events including the government shutdown, the U.S.'s withdrawal from Syria, and the death of an 8-year-old boy in U.S. custody. This led him to the conclusion that "objectively, Donald Trump is on track to be the worst president in modern times, and perhaps ever, pushing even James Buchanan off that dubious perch," per Mediaite.
