MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lamented that President Joe Biden stands alone in attacks on his age.
The host offered a campaign strategy for Biden, 80, during his show Morning Joe on Friday. Scarborough applauded Biden for joking about someone else falling during a fundraiser event Thursday, and suggested the president aim his jokes at his No. 1 opponent Donald Trump.

"I thought last night was fantastic. Somebody falls down, he’s like, 'It's not me.' He walks around, starts joking about it. You always go straight into it," Scarborough said. "I tell you what I would do, I’d show a picture of Donald Trump golfing, and I’d say, 'You guys are talking about health? You’re talking about age?' You take it head-on. You joke about it like he did last night."
Scarborough went even further, offering more attacks on the mental abilities of the 77-year-old Trump.
"And then you look at the other guy and you’re like, 'He thinks he’s running against Barack Obama,'" Scarborough said of Trump. "He’s like a drugged-out rock star. He’s like, 'Thank you, Detroit,' and he’s actually in Scranton. Like, he doesn’t know where he is. [Biden's] got to go to it. He’s got to run to it, joke about it, and have events like he did yesterday."
