Donald Trump raged against the criminal and civil cases against him in a dark campaign speech that MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski suggested was a sign of worsening mental health.
The former president told a crowd of supporters they shouldn't bother voting because elections were rigged, mixed up the leaders of Hungary and Turkey, and claimed to be the first person to notice the similarities between the abbreviation U.S. and the word "us," and the "Morning Joe" co-hosts raised concerns about his fitness for office.
"Donald Trump gave a campaign speech in New Hampshire yesterday," Brzezinski said. "Let's just say, in all seriousness, by the way, this is not a joke, if Joe Biden had said the things that Trump said, most Republicans would be calling for him to be put in an old age home."
Host Joe Scarborough mocked the ex-president's observations and expressed alarm over his praise for the Hungarian authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán.

"Orbán, of course, maybe he's never visited Turkey, I don't know, maybe the leader of Hungary has visited," Scarborough said. "But it's troubling to me, he calls Orbán one of the strongest leaders and says it in a wonderful way. Orbán, of course, shut down all of his opponents politically. He's tapped reporters' phones, he's destroyed independent news agencies. He's led phony tax investigations into reporters that were critical of him, chased them from the country, brags that he is an illiberal, that they have illiberal democracy and not western-style democracy. Again, this is a guy who keeps thinking he is running against Barack Obama – not doing well."
