Wednesday on his MSNBC show “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough compared President Donald Trump’s rally the night before in Orlando, FL, to Elvis Presley’s concerts at the tail end of his career.
Scarborough said Trump, who was a “disruptor” and “dangerous” in 2016, is playing the same hits as he did when he first ran for president, but, like Elvis in 1977, “his heart’s just not really in it.”
“No disrespect to the king of Rock ‘n Roll, but this is Elvis in ’77,” Scarborough declared. “Just kind of lumbering across the stage, sweating.”
He continued, “It’s Elvis in ‘77 sweating, trying to sing the old hits but his heart’s just not in it. They know what he’s going to sing before he sings it. They know all the words. And the guy who was once so exciting is now just dull.”
