"Scarborough noted how he had spoken with Trump throughout the past 20 to 25 years and throughout, even before his time in office, had consistent contempt for former Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter."
"Trump was, in particular, haunted by Carter's hostage crisis, referencing the Wall Street Journal's behind-the-scenes look at the president's reaction to the rescue of U.S. jet pilots shot down over Iran in early April."
"Here we have these two presidents that have sort of been fixed in Donald Trump's mind through the decades on the type of president he would not want to be."
Joe Scarborough highlighted that President Trump has become a blend of George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, two presidents he has long criticized. Trump has expressed disdain for Bush's Iraq war decisions and viewed Carter as weak during the Iranian hostage crisis. Scarborough noted that Trump's actions, influenced by figures like Netanyahu and Graham, reflect the very qualities he has historically rejected in those presidents. This situation illustrates a significant shift in Trump's approach to foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran.
