'Don't underestimate the mocking': Morning Joe panel IDs Biden campaign's secret weapon
A panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday said that President Joe Biden's campaign of ridicule against former President Donald Trump looked poised to pay dividends in the coming months.
While discussing the state of the 2024 presidential race, host Joe Scarborough praised the Biden campaign for ramping up its rapid response and working to mock the former president wherever it could.
"Joe Biden is doing something... that nobody has done to Donald Trump in all of his years in politics," he said. "He's taking it to him every day. He's mocking and ridiculing him. Donald Trump can't put up anymore that he cheated to win his club championship anymore without Biden making a fool of him. Everywhere he moves, Biden and his campaign are just tweaking him, mocking him, and suddenly this bully isn't looking so tough."
Guest Eugene Robinson shared Scarborough's perspective and identified ridicule as the Biden campaign's secret weapon.

"Don't underestimate the mocking," he said. "This is really, you know, a lot of people sort of question that at first, is this really the right line for the Biden campaign to take? I think we can now say, yes, it is. It's a very promising line for the Biden campaign to take and it drives Donald Trump crazy."
Robinson acknowledged that it doesn't take much to drive Trump crazy given his notoriously thin skin, but he said it is nonetheless a sound strategy for the Biden campaign going forward.
"He's going to get increasingly frantic, increasingly cornered by all these court cases, by all the money he has to put up," he added. "And this is a bad period in this campaign for Donald Trump and I think there's every reason to expect that it's going to get worse."
