Joe Scarborough tries so hard to suppress the F-word in reaction to Trump NFT dinner
MSNBCIt is Joe Scarborough did everything he could to quell a swear F-word Thursday in response to an article on Donald TrumpUnusual dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday. (Watch the video below.)
On a day off from his secret trial, Trump reportedly hosted buyers of his “Mugshot Edition” digital trading cards inspired by his booking photo during his arrest in Georgia last year. Some participants also received a fabric sample of the costume they were supposed to wear for their photo.
Before Morning Joe colleague Willie Geist could finish his report, Scarborough was already frothing.
“Oh my God, oh my God,” Scarborough said. ” What is happening here ? Who are these people?”
Geist seemed a little outraged that a sample of fabric belonging to Trump could be considered a souvenir.
“I mean, what are you [do]? Frame the piece of costume, sniff it, keep it at your bedside? Geist said.
The invitation was extended to supporters who purchased at least 47 cards for $99 each, Axios reported. Scarborough showed other cards depicting Trump as a rockstar and a fit guy in a bomber jacket.
“What did they do? Take Tom Cruise, and then put Trump’s face on it? Political analyst Elise Jordan mocked Trump’s bomber jacket card. “It’s real propaganda, just and complete.”
The company behind the trading cards, NFT INT, is not affiliated with Trump’s presidential campaign, Axios noted.
The former president appears focused on filling his campaign and the Republican National Committee’s coffers. At a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser for the RNC last weekend, Trump reportedly told some donors who paid at least $40,000 to attend that they couldn’t take a photo with him because they didn’t pay enough.
The committee and Trump reported raising more than $76 million in April. Reuters reporteddespite the ongoing criminal trial in New York, in which Trump is accused of falsifying records of a payment to a porn actor to keep silent about their alleged tryst.
