Sen. Tim Scott's appearance with Donald Trump on Thursday when the president met with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell both baffled and amused the entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" over its sheer oddness.

The day after Trump's visit went south as Powell fact-checked him in front of the press, co-host Joe Scarborough and regular panelist Sam Stein cracked up over why the South Carolina Republican was next to Trump.

After an amused Stein observed that Scott was not given a hard hat for his worksite visit, like all the other participants, he laughingly added, "The best part actually came at the end when they were taking questions after this whole thing was done."

"Hold on, hold on," Scarborough interrupted before pointing out that when Trump was embarrassed by Powell after reading off wrong numbers provided by his staff, Scott was quick to jump in and add, "Those are my numbers. Those are the numbers I have too, Mr. President."

As the two laughed, Scarborough snorted, "This is Hall of Fame by Tim Scott. 'No, those are my numbers too!'"

"Okay, but there's a better Tim Scott moment," Stein chimed in. I think I'm just going to throw it out there, it comes at the end. They go in the building that they're renovating and they're talking. Who knows what they're saying? Obviously Trump's trying to get Powell to quit, because Trump doesn't want to fire him, and they come back out and they have this press conference and, at one point, Tim Scott says something like, 'God, I wish we just didn't have to talk about the cost of renovations and we could just focus on interest rates,' as if Donald Trump hasn't been pushing this entire thing as a predicate for firing Powell."

"It felt like an episode of Veep, honestly," he added.

MSNBC host Ali Vitali jumped in with, "Maybe it was a late addition, he doesn't have the hard hat, I don't know. But I mean, that was the first question that I asked David Gura on [MSNBC show] 'Way Too Early,' when we were talking about this story, is what did Tim Scott do that he had to support the president but not get a hard hat in the process?"

President Donald Trump was headed to the Federal Reserve building on Thursday afternoon with an avowed enemy.

Trump claimed that the Federal Reserve renovation budget, which was under $2.5 billion, has now increased to over $3.1 billion. He brought it up in a Truth Social post announcing that he was headed to tour the building, along with several lawmakers, including Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC).

CNN's Dana Bash lost her patience with Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday morning after he first refused to encourage Donald Trump to stop spreading conspiracy rumors about Tuesday's election and then the South Carolina Republican blamed the media for spreading "misinformation."

During his appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the Donald Trump advocate was pressed by the CNN host to say if he will agree with the election results if the former president loses and whether he would urge Trump to follow suit.

Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) put out a video last week attacking the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan agency that forecast the budget impact of legislation, because they found President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" of tax cuts will add over $2 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. This follows a number of other Republicans pushing similar claims that the CBO cannot be trusted or is in some way biased.

But Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler found no fewer than "nine errors in 60 seconds" of his video.

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (R) promised Donald Trump that he would raise buckets of money, but as of Wednesday had yet to come up with the cash, a new report reveals.

Scott's Great Opportunity PAC, launched this summer, promised to deliver Trump $14 million to help his GOP pal reach out to Black voters, Politico reported Wednesday.

The official campaign committee for Republicans in the Senate blasted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, after his wife announced that she was filing for divorce "on biblical grounds."

In a Thursday post on X, Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton (R) announced the divorce filing.
