On Tuesday morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough accused President Donald Trump’s campaign of being a “money-making scam,” and said the President never expected to win the White House.
“Donald Trump never thought he was going to win the presidency,” Scarborough said on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’ “This was all a money-making scam. He thought Jeb Bush was going to beat him.”
Scarborough said Trump was going to “take the money and run.”
“So let me use the position I’m in right now and try to get that tower in Moscow, Scarborough said.
His remarks come after a report that a top executive from Trump’s real estate business reached out to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s personal spokesman during the 2016 campaign to ask for help with a stalled Trump development project in Moscow.

The report said Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer, sent the email about a Trump Tower development to Dmitry Peskov, and that members of the Trump Organization and investors worked on a deal to open a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential race.
“It just keeps going,” Scarborough said on Tuesday. “You just keep thinking OK well, they couldn’t have done anything dumber than this.”
