'Sixth grade book report': MSNBC panel skewers 'Little Donny's' latest 'rambling' answer

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Donald Trump's "incoherent" remarks on child care and other policies to a group of business leaders.The former president was asked to specifically comment on how his administration would help drive down child care costs to allow more women to join the workforce, and he suggested his proposed tariffs would raise enough money to pay for it in a rambling answer that the "Morning Joe" host compared to an unprepared student's book report."Thus ends the sixth-grade book report presentation," Scarborough said, after video of Trump's remarks concluded. "Little Donny obviously did not read his."ALSO READ: Why Trump’s Arlington controversy is actually a crimeScarborough recalled an incident from his freshman year of college when he failed to read an assigned book and was embarrassingly called out on it, and he compared that to Trump's faceplant."It sounded like a middle school book report where he didn't read the book," Scarborough said. "No idea what he is talking about, he's rambling incoherently. By the way, I've just got to say, too, because it's a pet peeve, the man who promised to pay down the debt and balance the budget in 2016 raised it more than any president in the history of this republic. Now, he's going, 'Oh, because of my high tariffs, because of my high taxes on working-class Americans, my high taxes on middle-class Americans, we're going to balance the budget quickly, and we're going to make so much money, I don't even have to talk about child care.'"Co-host Willie Geist suggested the Republican nominee should have punted on the question."Yeah, that's the one where you go, 'You know what? I actually didn't read the book, may I present on Monday? Can I have the weekend? Even if you knock me down a grade, because this is going to be embarrassing,'" Geist said. "By the way, one of the core arguments about Kamala Harris that you hear in certain cable news channels and websites is she's always in the middle of a word salad. Do you ever watch Donald Trump? You may want to give up on Donald Trump."Watch below or click here. - YouTube youtu.be
