'Terribly confused' Trump's rant about whales could be sign of cognitive decline: Morning Joe

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Donald Trump was vulnerable to the same line of attack that he has launched against President Joe Biden.

The former president gave a rambling speech Monday in South Carolina, where he claimed that windmills were "driving whales a little batty" and appeared to confuse Jeb Bush with George W. Bush, and the "Morning Joe" host wondered aloud whether the former president was experiencing cognitive decline.

"He said last week, nobody thought we could beat Barack Obama, but we did, he stumbled around with Obama's name, and then he went on to say he beat -- he was going to beat -- oh, no, that he beat Barack Obama in 2020, as well," Scarborough said. "Then, of course, on to the part about where Joe Biden was going to get us into World War II in 2024. The reason why those numbers are higher and the reason why people are comparing Hunter Biden's laptop to stealing nuclear secrets is because the Republicans have been hammering Joe Biden over this nonstop."

The White House has tried to stay above the fray, but Scarborough said many voters perceive that as weakness.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"You have the Biden people sitting back talking Bidenomics while his son is being trashed and while his age is being trashed," Scarborough said. "Here, I just want to repeat for you because I know you're a historian, and I'm sure you never knew this. Donald Trump says he ran against George W. Bush in the primary and beat him, 2016, ran against Barack Obama in the general election. Nobody thought he could beat him, but he beat him. Ran against Barack Obama in 2020 and beat him, no matter what the press and the pundits say."

"This is a guy who is terribly confused," he added. "Again, we don't hear that so much because the Biden campaign is playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules."
