Trump attacked the Washington establishment throughout his speech and focused his praise on the American people. He also touted his "America First" motto that seemed to inform much of his foreign and domestic policy proposals during his campaign.
Scarborough and Trump had a contentious relationship throughout Trump's run for president. Scarborough was highly critical of Trump in the months leading up to the election, and Trump often fired back at him on Twitter.
