The co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" had a hard time stopping laughing as one of Donald Trump's biographers explained how the former president found himself in the position of facing having his assets seized on Monday at the same time a court date will likely be set for his hush money trial.
Speaking with hosts Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez and Symone Sanders-Townsend, writer and biographer Tim O'Brien kicked off his explanation of Trump's legal travails by saying of the former president "He dumb" which set off the outburst of laughter.
O'Brien told the hosts, "You mentioned at the top of the show about Trump, that 'he broke.' He's also, he dumb, And what we found out over this past week, particularly this cash situation, under oath a year ago he said I have $400 million and I'm adding to it monthly and then suddenly you come up to this judgment and you say 'Actually, I don't have it' ... He then takes to social media and said 'Actually, I have $500 million.' That had to make his attorneys pull out their hair and that is because he is ignorant and unsophisticated and he is not a good person, now in a courtroom where he is going to be put on the stand and held accountable for the fact pattern. "

"In this particular case, there is a tape recording of him directing Michael Cohen to get the money from the CFO so they can pay hush money. When he's on the stand, he doesn't stick to the script that he tends to brag and bloviate," he added. "That is going to hound them during this court proceeding; they have to be worried about that."
