VIDEO: MSNBC Host Struggles to Contain Laughter Reporting Trump’s Imminent Incarceration Amidst Violence

An MSNBC Anchor Can’t‌ Help But Laugh While Reporting on Trump’s Surrender at a Notorious Georgia ⁤Jail

An ‌MSNBC anchor had to suppress a laugh on air Thursday while ‍reporting that former president Donald Trump ‌was expected to surrender at a Georgia jail with a history of stabbings.

“That jail,” Wallace said while stifling‍ a laugh, “is where the disgraced ex-president of these United States is heading right⁢ now.”

Trump’s ⁣Surrender and Release

• Trump ‌did not spend ‍any ⁣time in the jail after ‌he ⁢surrendered on Thursday, because he and his lawyers had agreed prior to the booking ⁤to ⁤post a $200,000 bond.

The Media’s Reaction

• Throughout Trump’s indictment saga, Democrats and members of the media have ‍found it difficult to suppress their glee ⁤at the legal troubles of the former president.
• The Associated Press’s Jonathan J. Cooper described Trump’s mug shot ⁢released Thursday as “an enduring image that‌ will appear in history books long after Donald Trump is gone”‍ because it ‍showed “the ⁢trappings of power gone, ‍for that⁣ split‍ second.”
• The Lincoln Project posted a video of people ⁢celebrating at​ a bar, edited to look like they ⁤were reacting to Trump’s mug shot.
• Panelists on MSNBC and CNN also mocked​ Trump’s self-reported measurements that appeared on his arrest record, which listed him as six feet three inches tall, 215 pounds, and having “blonde or strawberry” hair.
• When⁢ Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis first indicted ⁣Trump ⁤and his allies on RICO charges, ⁢a number of media ‌members gleefully⁤ observed that prosecutors normally use ⁣such charges to indict mobsters.

Biden’s Campaign Seizes the Moment

• President Joe‍ Biden’s reelection campaign immediately used Trump’s surrender as a fundraising opportunity.
• “Apropos of ‌nothing, I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign,” Biden posted on the social media site X along with a donation link.
