After taking most of the week off, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough returned to "Morning Joe" on Friday morning and immediately noted Donald Trump's lack of public appearances since the CNN debate over a week ago.
And he claimed he knows why.
Speaking with fellow MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton, the "Morning Joe" frontman stated the former president's inner circle is leery of putting him on the stump over fears he will go on one of his "crazy" rants, which will then undercut their attacks on President Joe Biden after his poor debate performance.
Pointing out to Sharpton that Trump has not received a huge bump in the polls after the debate, he stated, "Independents actually broke away from Donald Trump toward Joe Biden; that's how much they were turned off by seeing this guy."
"You'll notice, too, for all the talk about Joe Biden being hidden, 8 p.m. and all of this other stuff, you notice Donald Trump has kept his head underground politically since this debate," he observed. "His staff is scared to death of having their old man go out and say crazy things."
"They know Donald Trump forgets if we had World War II or not, he forgets who the current president of the United States is — he thinks he is running against Barack Obama and has beaten him. He thinks he is running against Barack Obama again," he continued. "Sometimes he tries to get to the end of a sentence and sort of kind of goes off into left field, into the pasture."
"Again, they're hiding Donald Trump right now," he added. "They don't want Donald Trump to get behind a microphone because the less he says, the safer they believe they are."
