During MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Scarborough said what Trump did throughout his visit was "inappropriate," citing what he called the president's "bizarre behavior."

"Once again, another example over the past week, what many people have always said about him, a basic lack of humanity," Scarborough said.

"The basic lack of humanity and the growing concern that's always been there, this man is disconnected to reality. ... He is incapable of even doing the most basic things."



Scarborough specifically criticized Trump for tossing paper towel rolls into a crowd at a church and for comparing Hurricane Maria unfavorably to a "real catastrophe like Katrina."



"Throwing paper towels at the victims of the hurricane like it was a game. I've never seen anything like that before," Scarborough said.



"And then saying, 'Boy, you're lucky, you did't face a real catastrophe.' "



Meanwhile, Scarborough said, the situation in Puerto Rico continues to deteriorate.



"It is a grim — exceedingly grim situation being faced by residents of that island."



Trump made a visit Tuesday to Puerto Rico, where he met with local officials on the administration's response to the disaster.



At one point he touted relatively small death toll on the island from Maria.



"Sixteen versus literally thousands of people," Trump said. "You can be very proud."



Trump also joked that disaster aid for Puerto Rico was breaking the federal budget.
