Co-host Mika Brzezinski was the first to bring up the optics of the sitting president surrounded by crotches and belly buttons a pointed reference to a man standing directly to Trumps right on Thursday who had, what she called, a distracting protruding belly button.
But why do they it's all these crotches and belly buttons around the president. Like that was gross, she complained. Prominent belly buttons that distracted and I can't even. What? Why. Oh my God, make it go away!
I wrote earlier this week about this story about, how, look, Donald Trump is aging and there's some scrutiny coming to changes in his behavior, co-host Jonathan Lemire offered. One of the data points I mentioned is that for these events in the Oval Office, they have him seated now. They don't have him standing in front of podiums. And when you sit at the desk, that's the risk you run is that might be your backdrop.
Can someone say, Mr. President, you look so much more commanding when you're standing so we don't have to look at belly buttons sticking out of big stomachs and crotches,? Brzezinski countered.
