Hours before Donald Trump was scheduled to appear at a Manhattan courtroom where he is facing 34 felony counts related to election interference related to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels, the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" shared a new ad demonstrating his legal issues would make him unemployable.
In the ad, produced by the Republican Voters Against Trump PAC, an actor is heard asking real-life employers for a job while admitting he is currently facing 88 felony accounts, has been accused of stealing government secrets and then asking, "Do you all take people who have been found liable of sexual assault?"
In each case, he is warned he won't get through an interview, with the employers replying "They're going to do a background check," and "We actually run a full background. It won't go through."
The ad then concludes with, "If Trump is too big of a liability to get a job at your local mall, he is too big of a liability to be president of the United States."

Following the sharing of the ad, MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski sat down with RVAT.org Executive Director Sarah Longwell who claimed that it proved that, only in the case of Donald Trump, could he possibly be elected president when he couldn't land a job in retail.
"One of the things we could see is that, because Donald Trump has so many charges against him, there are so many different cases, the voters are having difficulty kind of, you know, teasing them out, understanding the difference," she explained before adding, "What we wanted to do with the ad is really underscore Donald Trump's level of legal liability; this guy couldn't get a job at the local mall, right?"
After pointing out, "You know, a fast food restaurant wouldn't hire him with his record," she continued, "The idea that we would make him president of the United States again, like, we get numb to it, right? We get sort of numb to who Donald Trump is because it's always so much, it's so many charges, it's so many, you know, felonies, it's easy to just let it wash over you."
"There's just so many things about what we have seen from his behavior since he has been president," she told the hosts. "I'm not talking about even the person we saw who was president, but what we know about him since he left office that absolutely is disqualifying."
