'He just keeps walking into traps': Morning Joe buries Trump for latest humiliation
After sharing clips of Sen. Katie Britt's widely mocked State of the Union response and the corresponding parody of the Alabama Republican's speech on Saturday Night Live, the hosts of "Morning Joe" focused on Donald Trump's latest humiliation when he went to war with comedian Jimmy Kimmel late Sunday night.
According to co-host Joe Scarborough, the former president's old tricks are blowing up in his face these days after he used his Truth Social platform to attack Kimmel's hosting performance during the Oscars ceremony.
After Trump sneered at Kimmel by writing, "His opening was that of a less than average person trying to be something that he is not and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopanopoulos," Kimmel returned fire by reading the post live on-air and then adding, "Well, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching, I'm surprised you're still — isn't it past your jail time?"

That in turn led to uproarious laughter from the Hollywood crowd and immediately made headlines with Trump having no way to quickly respond with the same kind of reach.
As Scarborough pointed out, the former president set himself up to fail.
"That's the thing, he just doesn't — I guess he doesn't understand," the MSNBC host explained. "He just keeps walking into traps. He keeps — again, you know, it's like an old fighter that's past his prime. The things that may have worked, that may have been disruptive six, seven, you know, 2016, everybody knows what's coming."
"He's the butt of the joke for millions of people last night," he added.
