Reacting to Donald Trump's speech in North Carolina on Wednesday that was billed as a town hall focused on the economy but devolved into a stream of personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle suggested the former president is headed for a big fall.
On Thursday morning's edition of "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski shared clips of Trump's rants that started with him admitting that he was supposed to be talking about the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden but then veered into him calling Harris "not smart," a "crazy person," and a "disaster."
Co-Host Wille Geist contributed, "As you listen to that speech, with that American carnage tone, reminds me of the line that [Democratic Pennsylvania Governor] Josh Shapiro said, which I won't repeat here, 'Hey, man, stop S-talking America. Why do you hold this country in such low regard?"'

With Geist adding the "Contrast is really stark and it's a contrast that the Harris campaign likes to see," Barnicle remarked, "The campaign is yesterday versus tomorrow. I mean, we just saw yesterday. We saw a man standing there on the stage saying we are literally a third world country. I don't know anyone who believes we are literally a third world country."
After adding he thinks Trump's campaign managers "seem to have lost control of their candidate," he continued, "When it comes to the debate with Kamala, you wonder how long will it be before he really goes out of control. And I think what's going to happen is when that debate occurs, he's in the ring with the vice president of the United States, a woman, a very sophisticated, very intelligent woman, and she hammers him like a prosecutor and doesn't let him off the hook, he will go — I can't say it — but something will snap in him and that will be it."
