Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle as they discuss the 2024 presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump, who recently delivered remarks focused on his plans for the economy but diverted to numerous tangents about his political rivals and the country. “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, and the thing about the Trump campaign now that makes me wonder a lot about it is: Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita running the campaign. (They) are extremely good at what they do; but they seem to have lost control of their candidate…(who) has a tired, 20-year-old act. We just saw it. He updates it with some figures from the past two or three years; but it’s a tired old act: The election was stolen, we’re a third world country, crime is up, immigrants are going to rape your daughter. All sorts of fear factors and a lot of it, a lot of it, with huge, huge ugly racial overtones, especially when it comes to the vice president. And 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, and 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 – well I can’t say it, but something will snap in him and that will be it,” predicts Barnicle about the September 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
