Scarborough Gushes Over Biden Campaign’s Spotlighting Trump’s Mental Gaffes on Social Media: It’s ‘Driving Him Crazy’

Joe Scarborough approves of the Biden campaign’s strategy of using Donald Trump’s recent series of mental gaffes to counteract the recurring concerns about President Joe Biden’s age and acuity.

As America heads into the New Hampshire primary, the former president raised eyebrows at a Friday night rally when he repeatedly confused Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. While Trump defends himself by bragging about his ability to pass a cognitive test (which is meant to evaluate people for dementia), Biden’s team has been tracking those numerous blunders and turning them into political ammunition against him.

Scarborough praised the tactic during Tuesday’s Morning Joe, saying, “They understand now, and they’re turning it out quickly.”

Donald Trump says something stupid, it’s up online, like, 15 seconds later. It’s on TikTok, it’s on YouTube, it’s on X, it’s on Instagram reels. I mean, we’ve been seeing this over the last week, just how quickly they’re moving on Trump. I’ve got to say, I think this is why Trump got away with this in the past, because all his opponents were flat-footed. Maybe even the Biden campaign in 2020 didn’t have to do this as much as they’re doing in 2024. But you can sense, there is a real understanding.

Donald Trump loses his mind, forgets what he’s saying, confuses Barack Obama with Joe Biden, confuses World War II with whatever the hell he was confusing. Confuses Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi. The whole world is going to see in three seconds, and they’re going to see in three seconds because they’re on him now. You talk about a tight man-to-man defense, I mean, you cover the White House. What’s happened over the past week or two? I mean, pause, they are really — the rapid response has to be driving Donald Trump crazy.
