'Can't even say simple sentences': Morning Joe dazed by Trump's 'bing-bang-bong' meltdown
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has been sounding the alarm that Donald Trump appears to be mentally unwell, and he said evidence of that concern spills out daily.
The former president delivered an addled and rambling speech Monday night in New Hampshire, where he attempted to describe a missile defense system using "ding-ding-boom" sound effects and casually praised Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán, and the "Morning Joe" host was alarmed by the spectacle.
"He can't even say the simplest of sentences anymore," Scarborough said. "That's so terrible, everything about it is so terrible. He praises, of course, Viktor Orbán. It's not that the press goes crazy, it's that the world sees Viktor Orbán is, like, isolated because he is so extreme. He hates American democracy, western democracy – he said it. Viktor Orbán has said he hates American democracy, he hates western democracy. He brags about being illiberal, he shuts down the press, he shuts down political opponents. Donald Trump praises that."

"Then Donald Trump goes, bing-bang-bong, something like that, because he is not well," Scarborough added. "Then he lies, he lies about the men and women of the armed forces and says, 'We can't do this, can't do that, and we're weak.' Our economy, without a doubt, strongest in the world – not a close second. People have been whining about China for years. We've been saying here on 'Morning Joe' since 2008, if you like China so much, move there. The United States is going to still have the most powerful economy. We do, sitting at $25 trillion, China is at $18 trillion."
