MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Tuesday said President Trump 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.
