During a segment on polling showing older voters are abandoning Donald Trump in droves, MSNBC host and "Morning Joe" regular Jonathan Lemire suggested Trump's being back in the spotlight is reminding people that he is not all there and the "crazy" is coming out again.
Speaking with co-host Joe Scarborough, Lemire said that the ban of Trump on X, formerly known as Twitter, has kept people from seeing his daily diatribes since his Truth Social platform has such little reach.
However, now that the former president is in the news on a daily basis due to his crushing legal problems, people are recalling the chaos that accompanies him — and they are balking at voting for him.
"It may not be until the spring or summer when Americans start paying attention because right now most Americans aren't. They are simply not paying attention," Lemire explained. "When they do, the [President Joe] Biden camp believes even if they're lukewarm on the president, have reservations about his age, whatever it might be, they'll not want to go back to the chaos of Donald Trump."

"The people simply haven't heard Donald Trump in a while, he's become background noise," he continued. "And his reach is so much smaller than it used to be. We can't overlook the fact, the downgrade from the audience he had on Twitter to now Truth Social— no one hears that, those tweets don't break through. His campaign is more disciplined but he is not."
He elaborated, "The crazy doesn't break through because it is confined. Confined to the conservative news media space and when it starts breaking through to the wider public and Americans start listening, the Biden campaign believes his numbers will go down, and that's to their advantage."
