Trump growing 'more incoherent' as pressure from Harris mounts: analyst

Sitting in with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," political analyst Basil Smilke suggested Donald Trump's bizarre answers to questions earlier this week —specifically a baffling response to childcare needs in America — is a sign that he is losing the plot.

Speaking with the hosts, Smilke stated that it looks to him like the pressure of running against Vice President Kamala Harris may be affecting Trump's ability to make the case for his third presidential run.

After watching a clip of the former president rambling about Harris with a series of personal attacks, Smilke was asked, "How do you see his approach to Kamala going into this campaign?"

"They have become more more personal," he began. "When you combine that with the way he has been speaking in the last week, particularly the Economic Club of New York, he sounds more incoherent than I think we have ever heard him."

"It sounds desperate," he continued. "It clearly sounds like he and his team know they are behind and they are losing the narrative. I think if he feels and the team feels that they cannot grow the support the best way to win is to diminish her."

"The way they are doing it is trying to tap into a sense that this woman of color is not qualified for a role, isn't smart, does not do her homework is not up to the task. we have heard that 1000 times before," he elaborated. "If you are a person of color, a very common attack by your opponent who is not a person of color, is that you are not qualified. it is a very old tactic."

"I said when she became the nominee that his attacks would get bad and they are. What I like is I do not think they are working, it is not sticking," he added.
