Trump 'intending to humiliate' whatever 'spiritually broken' person is his VP: CNN panel

A CNN panel on Monday contended that former President Donald Trump will only accept a vice presidential nominee who has absolutely no will of their own and who will allow themselves to be humiliated on the former president's behalf.

In discussing Trump's potential VP pick, ex-George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum made the case that Sen. J.D. Vance and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are too potentially independent minded to be the nominee.

The Trump campaign has 'a serious problem' as he continues to show decline: Morning Joe

The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" kicked off Monday morning by pouncing on Donald Trump screwing up the name of the White House doctor who administered the cognitive tests he has continued to claim he "aced."

During a speech in Michigan on Saturday night, the former president was attempting to make a point about President Joe Biden's cognitive decline when he brought up his own tests and called former White House doctor Ronny Jackson —now a member of the House — "Ronny Johnson."

According to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, the Trump campaign has its work cut out for it convincing the voters their candidate isn't in decline.

"Who's Ronnie Johnson?" Scarborough asked sarcastically before joking, "Person, man, woman, horse, Ronny Johnson."

He then segued to the Trump campaign passing around "cheap fake" clips of Biden that imply the current president has dementia before stating, "I'm new at this politics thing, but I'm guessing if you're going to make fun of your opponent for being cognitively disconnected from facts and figures, it's probably good for you to not be disconnected cognitively from facts and figures as Donald Trump was this weekend."

After jokingly getting Scarborough's name wrong multiple times, MSNBC contributor John Heilemann quipped, "Glass houses, man. You don't want to be throwing stones. People live in glass houses and shouldn't be throwing stones, that's all I'll say. "

"You know, the thing is too, it's getting really more obvious, that they have, the Trump campaign understands they have a serious problem with Donald Trump on facts, on issues, on you name it," Scarborough replied. "Because they have to keep engaging in cheap fakes to make Joe Biden look bad; they've done it this weekend, the past several weeks."

"I mean, they're grasping in many different ways," co-host Mike Brzezinski contributed. "But I think that's Trump being Trump, getting names wrong and getting information wrong and I don't think he cares."
