MSNBC's Joe Scarborough placed Donald Trump's $83.3 million penalty in the E. Jean Carroll case in line with other staggering payouts by his political allies.

A jury ordered Trump to pay the penalty to Carroll for sexually abusing and then defaming her while serving as president, after a previous jury last year found him liable for both actions and awarded her $5 million for defamatory statements after he left office, and the "Morning Joe" host said courts had repeatedly imposed consequences lies aired by the ex-president and his pals.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough urged Nikki Haley to open up a new line of attack against "snowflake" Donald Trump ahead of the South Carolina primary.

The former president easily won both contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, but Haley performed better than expected in the latter primary and clearly infuriated Trump by remaining in the race, and the "Morning Joe" host said the former South Carolina governor has exposed a major weakness.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" bashed Republican lawmakers for bowing to Donald Trump's "cynical" effort to sink a border security bill to help his chances for re-election.

The former president has long made border security a top political priority, but Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) privately cast doubt on a bipartisan compromise to tighten immigration laws because Trump opposed the measure.

Donald Trump has not yet taken the stand in the defamation case involving E. Jean Carroll, but a video recording of his prior testimony stunned the courtroom into silence.

The former president has already been found liable for sexually abusing the author and then defaming her by denying her allegations and smearing her reputation after leaving the White House. A jury on Thursday listened to his deposition to determine what damages he should pay for separate defamatory statements he made as president.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough marveled at the "stupid" positions Republicans had staked out on the two biggest political issues in this year's election, which he said would hurt both the nation and their own party.

Voters are concerned about the economy and immigration, but the "Morning Joe" host said Republicans are actively working against measures that would boost the economy and improve border security in an effort to deprive President Joe Biden of political wins to help Trump's chances at re-election.

Donald Trump may have won New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation Republican primary, but MSNBC's Claire McCaskill said his tighter-than-expected margin of victory over Nikki Haley revealed some "cracks in the armor."

The former president easily defeated Haley, who vowed to remain the race after doing a bit better than expected, and the "Morning Joe" contributor said Trump appears weaker in numerous ways.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough applauded Nikki Haley for staying in the Republican presidential primary race in the face of Donald Trump's "meltdown."

Trump easily defeated Haley in New Hampshire, although not by quite as big of a margin as polling suggested, and he lashed out at his remaining GOP challenger after she declared she would face off against him in her home state of South Carolina and possibly beyond.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Republican voters would seal their party's doom in November by essentially handing the nomination to Donald Trump.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the GOP primary after a poor showing in the Iowa caucus, and Trump has a chance to wrap up the Republican presidential nomination if Nikki Haley finishes a distant second in New Hampshire, but the "Morning Joe" host predicted the party would be toast in November if the former president was the nominee.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has been sounding the alarm that Donald Trump appears to be mentally unwell, and he said evidence of that concern spills out daily.

The former president delivered an addled and rambling speech Monday night in New Hampshire, where he attempted to describe a missile defense system using "ding-ding-boom" sound effects and casually praised Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán, and the "Morning Joe" host was alarmed by the spectacle.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has turned Donald Trump's attacks about his age and mental agility back on him, and he said that must be getting under the former president's skin.

Polls have shown that voters have concerns about Biden, he turned 81 in November, having the stamina and mental fitness to serve another term, but the current's president's campaign has pounced on a series of recent comments from Trump, who is only four years younger at 77, and the "Morning Joe" host said those attacks seem to be breaking through.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski trashed Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for downplaying Donald Trump's confused babbling.

The former president repeatedly mixed up GOP rival Nikki Haley with former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in a campaign speech, and the "Morning Joe" co-hosts shamed Stefanik for insisting that Trump had not "lost a step" and was, in fact, mentally sharper than ever.

Conservative Charlie Sykes bashed Republicans who are casting about for an alternative to Donald Trump but would still vote for him if he's the Republican nominee.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared to be a strong challenger to Trump when he first entered the race, but he became the latest GOP candidate to falter against the quadruple-indicted former president, and Sykes told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that even anti-Trump Republicans would eventually coalesce around him.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski was disgusted by Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba's cross examination of E. Jean Carroll.

Trump has already been found liable in a previous trial for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, the longtime author and columnist, but Habba suggested in her questioning that she had accused the former president of raping her decades ago in a bid for fame.
