During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe,'" the Rev. Al Sharpton suggested the best weapon Democrats have against Donald Trump is Trump himself.

Reacting to the chaos that has ensued since the debate with President Joe Biden in which he stumbled, Sharpton pointed out that the former president has been hunkered down on his golf course and avoided public appearances since — and it is time for Democrats to "smoke him out."

President Joe Biden made a surprise call to the MSNBC show Morning Joe to defend his position as the presumptive Democratic nominee and to slam the opponent he chided for telling lies and playing golf.

"He's just a liar!" Biden told MSNBC. "And he hasn't done a damned thing since the debate. He's been riding around in his golf cart for 10 days, down in Mar-a-Lago."

The panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" had a field day on Monday morning laughing at former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee hawking a "Kids Guide to Donald Trump" with co-host Joe Scarborough suggesting it should contain a chapter about "Orgy Island."

After showing a clip of Huckabee huckstering the book, "Morning Joe" regular John Heilemann immediately laughed and remarked, "Stay away from the Epstein chapter," referencing Trump's longtime relationship with the notorious child sex offender.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to promote his latest book, longtime political observer and author Joe Conason accused Donald Trump of bilking his MAGA followers out of millions for an election integrity project that never got off the ground.

Speaking with the hosts about his new book, "The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism," which comes out on Tuesday, Conason made the case that the former president is neck-deep in grifting.

Speaking with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Conason explained, "So the book sort of tells a story of how conservatives got to the point where they are milking their own constituents for every penny they can squeeze out of them on false pretenses in almost every case."

In a long monologue on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough took aim at the New York Times — and the media in general — for being manipulated by "rightwing stooges" to overanalyze every word and move Joe Biden makes.

To make his point, he focused on what he called the NYT's "syntax blog" which is tasked with poring over every Biden evidence in search of something to seize upon to make the case that he is sundowning.

Jumping right into it, the MSNBC host stated by admitting Biden "had a horrible day, absolutely dismal debate," before going on to point out, "That's sort of the five-alarm fire the media went to."

"I think a week later, you know, now that the New York Times has a syntax blog that is following his syntax in radio interviews in Wisconsin, it's gotten ridiculous and over the top," he laughed. "You actually have a guy sitting down in Mar-a-Lago, again, that's told lie after lie after lie after lie."

"Yeah, the reporting has gotten crazy and over the top because, once again, and I love this about the press, like, mainstream media, they're like, 'Oh, no, they're saying we're unfair. They're saying that we have hidden this.' Who hid it?" he exclaimed. "For all the right-wing stooges saying the mainstream media hid this, like I said, I probably spent more time with Joe Biden than most reporters. Talked to him about in-depth foreign policy ... the guy was completely there."

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said Sunday that Republicans should be having discussions about whether Donald Trump should step aside instead of focusing on President Joe Biden's debate performance.

In an interview on Fox News, host Mike Emanuel asked Auchincloss if Biden's recent interview with ABC News had "moved the needle" on the possibility of him leaving the Democratic presidential ticket.

Legal analyst Mercedes Colwin told Fox News that the U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the way for former President Donald Trump to order a military coup if he's reelected.

Following a high court ruling granting U.S. presidential immunity for official acts, Colwin explained that Justice Sonia Sotomayor was not being "alarmist" when she warned about executive power.

CBS host Robert Costa grilled Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) after former President Donald Trump amplified calls for military tribunals for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and others.

While appearing on Face the Nation Sunday, Graham was asked about how the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would impact a potential second term for Trump.

Republican party strategist Scott Jennings got a brutal dressing down from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) on CNN Sunday morning and had no answers when she listed off Donald Trump's egregious conduct and his plans to become a dictator.

During the panel segment of CNN's "State of the Union," the question about President Joe Biden's political future after a terrible debate performance almost two weeks ago was made front and center when Dingle complained that Donald Trump's recent history is being ignored — and then Jennings made light of it.

Reacting to Biden's poor performance, Jennings smirked and stated, "It's only the commander in chief we are talking about. He's not just a candidate."

"Which is why we should be talking about Donald Trump and all the things he's done," Dingell shot back as Jennings tried to talk over her.

"How he wants to be a dictator!" Dingell said of the former president. "How he thinks [overturning] Roe v Wade is the greatest thing he ever did. And how he wants to give your billionaire friends a tax cut and he thinks Jan. 6 was a great thing."

"You give me too much credit, I wish I had some billionaire friends," Jennings retorted without addressing Trump's issues.

The GOP strategist then continued, "You got colleagues, public, and private, who want Joe Biden to step down. You've got a lot of colleagues in your conference who want him to get out of the way and what they're really saying is we don't have confidence in him to lead for the next four years which really means they don't have confidence in him to lead today."

"This is not a campaign problem, this is a White House problem. There are real questions about whether he's acting independently," he added. "He said, by the way, in his interview with [George] Stephanopoulos the other night, he wanted to do three things: restore decency and now he's got Hunter Biden running the White House senior staff meetings and he said he wanted to do something for the middle-class..."

"Hunter Biden's not running the White House, come on," interjected CNN host Dana Bash.

Democratic strategist Doug Thornell also jumped in with, "That's crazy, Scott."

"I'm sorry, I'm just reading the journalism, I'm pro-journalist here," Jennings attempted.
