'Off his rocker': Morning Joe mocks Trump rant that was so 'crazy' Fox News cut away
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were astonished by Donald Trump's latest rant that was so rambling and incoherent that Fox News cut away from a live broadcast of his remarks.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee spoke to supporters Saturday evening at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he raged about "Joe Biden's wave of bedlam and death and terror" and then prattled about shampoo lather water pressure – for the second time in a week – before the conservative network dropped live coverage.
"They had to cut away from the washing machine bit," Scarborough said, laughing.
"What do you talk about with that?" Brzezinski added. "What's the analysis of drip, drip, drip? Green hair? Fox News cut away from Donald Trump's speech rally in Philadelphia on Saturday as he droned on about low water pressures in homes, washing his hair, how he likes a lot of lather. Imagine if Joe Biden did this, by the way. It would be 24-hour coverage of Joe Biden losing it. This, they go to break."

Scarborough said the former president's advisers seem to be resetting expectations for the upcoming debate with President Joe Biden.
"You can read in the papers this weekend and this morning that the Trump people have belatedly figured out that lying about Joe Biden's incoherence and doctoring tapes to suggest he is not was a bad idea," Scarborough said. "Now they are trying to, like, reverse track and say, 'Oh, no, he is a debater and maybe he is going to take drugs and he should be drug tested because he is going to end up doing so well.' I'm not going to do that here. Donald Trump, when you look at any of his speeches front-to-back, looks like he is off his rocker. It's crazy the things he says, it's crazy what people stand there and applaud for. Here, they just look thoroughly confused and Fox News had to cut away because they are like, 'I got nothing here, I got nothing.'"
National affairs analyst John Heilemann brought up a speech from last weekend, when Trump babbled about electric boat batteries and shark attacks.
"When Fox News thinks there is too much lather going on with Donald Trump and they are, like, too much lather, he likes to lather, a lot of lather," Heilemann said. "That is how you know that he has jumped – you mentioned sharks there, I think I heard you. I don't think he talked about sharks in this event, but he has metaphorically jumped the shark."
