WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump’s speech at his first joint session of Congress has been called out by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who accused it of being written by ChatGPT.

The TV host also mocked the 47th president after he reportedly called himself the "greatest" leader of all time, even placing himself above George Washington

"It has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency ... is the most successful in the history of our nation. And what makes it even more impressive is that, do you know who number two is George Washington? How about that? I don't know about that list, but we'll take it," Trump claimed on Tuesday, March 4, night, PEOPLE reported.

The 78-year-old president added, “We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started.”

In his first Congress address since taking office for the second time, the Republican leader also slammed former president Joe Biden by calling him the “worst president in American history” and labelled Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”

Trump blamed the former administration for “economic catastrophe,” as he added, “As you know, we inherited, from the last administration, an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.” 



 

Passing remarks on Trump’s almost two-hour long speech, Scarborough said, “I just heard on Ali’s show one of the best summaries; it really was almost like it was written by ChatGPT. I mean, I was thinking like the fifth verse, same as first, second, third, fourth,” OK! Magazine reported.

The ‘Morning Joe’ host then stated that the commander-in-chief’s address was full of “insults” as “there were the taunts, there were the exaggerations. There was a partisanship, top to bottom. There were personal attacks, attacking people by name.”

“And, of course, the facts that were just wrong, whether it was the United States spending more money on Ukraine or calling himself the greatest president with the greatest start,” Scarborough added.

The MSNBC host then went on to express his shock over Trump’s confusion as to why Democrats were not “nice” and did not applaud for him during the joint session of Congress.

He said, “This, of course, after he’d already taken to insulting them and calling Joe Biden the worst president in American history. I’m quite confident, quite confident that 10 to 20 years from now, when they’re ranking presidents, Joe Biden will be doing very well, along with other presidents that have actually gotten bipartisan things accomplished.”

“So there's just so much nonsense. I cannot believe an independent voter wouldn’t look at this speech and just turn it off and just go, 'Enough’s enough,’” Scarborough added.
