'Morning Joe' host Mika Brzezinski talks about Donald Trump Jr's 'hyperactivity' hours before he testifies in civil fraud trial
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Morning Joe’ hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough reported on Donald Trump Jr taking the stand in his father Donald Trump's New York civil fraud trial on November 1, just hours earlier.
In this conversation, the hosts, who are a couple in real life, discussed Trump Jr, who merely hours later testified in court, and denied any involvement in preparing his father's financial statements, as per CNN.
As they moved on from Trump Jr, Scarborough labeled Trump “immature” and compared him to a “five-year-old."
‘Morning Joe’ hosts discuss Donald Trump Jr
‘Morning Joe’ host Mika Brzezinski started the news report on the Trump family taking the stand, only hours before Trump Jr did. “Today, the first member of the Trump family will take the stand in the New York $250 million civil fraud trial. Donald Trump Jr is scheduled to testify today,” she said.
Before Brzezinski could continue, Joe Scarborough said, “Ooh, I don't know if I would want to lead with him.”
“Eric Trump will take the stand tomorrow. Ivanka Trump and former President Trump will testify next week,” continued Brzezinski, but Scarborough shifted his focus back to Donald Trump Jr and said, “I haven't seen him in a while.”
“Which one?” asked Brzezinski, and Scarborough pointed out, “Junior! Not a whole lot.”
Brzezinski responded to her husband and co-host, “He does like stuff on Insta. It's not good when he does it. Something's up. He doesn't feel good or something. Something is…there's like hyperactivity or something.”
Scarborough noted that Trump Jr is “excited.” He then asked the panel to continue and apologized for “bringing that up.” Brzezinski admitted that she does “follow” him, and “can’t help it.”
Joe Scarborough takes a dig at Donald Trump
The ‘Morning Joe’ hosts proceeded to talk about the former president Donald Trump after his son Donald Trump Jr. “The former president has continued to rant about the case online, including this Truth Social post where he called out New York Attorney General Letitia James and posted her picture in court,” Scarborough said.
“Now, there's a limited gag order on the case, but it does not cover speaking about the attorney general or the judge,” said Mika Brzezinski, before she added, “Wow, he’s immature.”
Before Brzezinski could introduce the guests for the morning, Scarborough said, “Can we get a breaking news on that, he's immature.”
He paused for a second and said, “He's a 5-year-old.”
Brzezinski, who was visibly frustrated about the whole situation, momentarily buried her face in her hands and said, “It’s just…wow.”
