'Why are they hiding him?': Morning Joe points to bad news for Trump
After sharing clips of an invigorated President Joe Biden hitting the campaign trail over the weekend, "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough kicked off Monday morning's show by pouncing on the fact that the embattled president isn't afraid to get out in front of crowds while Donald Trump has been nowhere to be seen.
Reiterating what he has been saying, that Trump's advisers are afraid to put their man out there for fear he'll start on a crazy rant, the MSNBC host delivered some bad news for the former president.
Sitting next to co-host Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough began, "Where is he? Why are they hiding him? Are they afraid that he may go out and talk about World War II coming or Barack Obama being president, or will he go, 'Ah, ya ya ya'"
Continuing in that vein, he exclaimed, "Are they afraid to let him talk? Allies are going, 'Oh, Joe Biden, what are they hiding? What are they scared of?' And Donald Trump, he's burrowed down in Mar-a-Lago, they won't let him out. He's a prisoner in a gilded cage because they're afraid he may actually open his mouth. The irony."
"Well, you know what they found was, as badly as Joe Biden did — we've all said he did horrifically— you look at the polls, and even the New York Times/Sienna poll, which has always been an outlier against Biden, shows that even with that terrible performance, he picked up independent voters against Donald Trump. Right?" he continued.
"So what are they doing with Donald Trump?" he asked. "They're keeping him out of sight until the Republican convention maybe — who knows?" he added. "Maybe his handlers, maybe his bosses will let him out this week, but right now, they're saying 'No, no, man, you have to stay right there. You can't talk, people hate you, independents hate you, swing voters hate you. Just be quiet, and you may win this thing again.' It's kind of crazy."
