Taking time out from discussing Donald Trump's financial woes, the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" jumped all over the former president for his latest rambling attempt to explain his continuous mistaking of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
After spending the morning talking about Judge Arthur Engoron fining the former president and his Trump Organization for financial fraud that could add up to $450 million with interest added, co-host Michael Steele changed the subject back to Trump's apparent mental deterioration.
Introducing a clip of Trump at a South Carolina rally, Steele began, "If Donald Trump is about anything it is about revisionism, especially when it comes to his lack of mental acuity. I want to play for you Trump, on Wednesday, talking about the purported mix-up between Nikki Haley and Pelosi. Let's take a listen to this gem."
After the panel watched Trump tell the crowd, "When I say that Obama is the president of our country, they say, 'He doesn't know! It's Biden. He doesn't know!' So it's very hard to be sarcastic. When I interpose, cuz I am not a Nikki fan, I am not a Pelosi fan, when I purposefully interpose names they said, 'He didn't know Pelosi from Nikki! From tricky Nikki, tricky dicky. 'He didn't know,' I interposed, they make a big deal out of it," the entire panel began laughing.

A laughing Steele added, "So, Alexi [McCammond], we're the slow ones. We should just have known, oh, — ," as co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend interrupted and added, "He's up here, we're down here."
McCammond joked, "It was sarcasm, you guys. Duh."
"This is where we find ourselves," Steele offered. "We look at things objectively here what the man says, and he comes back and tells us, 'No. that's not what you heard. This is what I heard, this is what I said, this is what I meant.'"
