'Old and decrepit' Trump rant exposed him as 'a shadow of what he was four years ago'

MSNBC host Katie Phang said Donald Trump did himself no favors at his Friday press conference where he rambled about his felony convictions, with the former prosecutor saying he appeared "old and decrepit" while handing prosecutors more ammo that can be used against him.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Phang made a comparison to the film "Weekend at Bernie's" where a recently deceased businessman is passed off as still being alive.

Speaking with the hosts of "The Weekend," she explained Trump's Friday 40-minute rant probably pleased prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

"He is digging himself into a deeper hole," she explained. "He is showing a lack of remorse that the judge will take into account when he is deciding what to do for the sentence."

"The fact that there was the defiance of the gag order yesterday, he violated it during deliberations, during opening arguments," she elaborated. "Just because you didn't see the DA's office file a motion doesn't mean it didn't happen."

"I think people need to understand, when I say that what we see is old and tired — it literally is," she explained further. "What we saw yesterday with Donald Trump had ''Weekend at Bernie's" energy. I mean, he is old and decrepit and I will stand by that. He is definitely the shadow of what he was four years ago, but we cannot underestimate the danger of what he says and what he does."
