Disgusted Morning Joe panel buries Trump for 'mocking the mother of a dying child'
The panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" expressed disgust on Thursday morning at a series of controversial comments a sweaty Donald Trump made at his first major rally at his Doral golf course late Tuesday including mocking the voice of a woman holding her dying child.
Reacting to a New York Times report where reporter Shawn McCreesh wrote, "Mr. Trump sounded eye-wateringly cruel" during his speech, the panel focused one particular comment Trump made in conjunction with calling for the death penalty for drug dealers, by doing a "singsong" impression of a mother with a “child hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me, God, what can I do?’”
After reading excerpts from the New York Times, co-host Joe Scarborough disgustedly commented, "Mocking a mother who was holding a dying child in their arms, Katty Kay. We hear this is the new and improved Donald. I've been hearing it for the past week — this is the new and improved Donald Trump."

"He's positive, he is happy, he is not the old Donald Trump, he's really been liberated," he continued. "And there we have Donald Trump calling people fat pigs. Donald Trump mocking others. Donald Trump mocking a mother holding her dying child."
"I mean, is he mentally fit?" co-host Mika Brzezinski interjected,
"It doesn't sound like the new and improved Donald that, I swear, it's all you hear from Trump people. 'Oh, you know, he's changed. He's not the Trump of three years ago. He's not the Trump of three months ago,'" he added. "Here he is, he's actually taking great joy in a mother's child dying in her arms."
"Yeah or writing on Truth Social that Vice President Kamala Harris, in a clear dog whistle, should caddie for him in a golf tournament against Joe Biden," Kay replied. " This is the Donald Trump that his campaign does not want particularly out there in public. It is not the Donald Trump who showed up to that debate; that was the more disciplined Donald Trump. As we have always said, that doesn't last very long with the former president and he is out there again."
