MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reacted to Donald Trump's heavily spliced and edited interview with Fox News, saying his appearance demonstrated that he was increasingly "unmoored from reality."

The former president spoke at length to Will Cain, Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy following his conviction on all 34 felony counts last week in New York, and the "Morning Joe" host was disturbed by what he saw – although he admittedly did not watch the interview as it aired.

"I was not watching because I do my best not to watch live Donald Trump," Scarborough said. "I will go back, then I'll look at it later or read about it, or any people that are going to spew lies for as long as he did. But I started getting texts from people on the Biden campaign that I know, and they were like, 'Thank God the trial is over, this is the moment we've been waiting for – stay up there, Donald, keep talking, Donald.'"

The former president continues to insist that president Joe Biden has directed his criminal prosecutions, but Scarborough said that notion was ridiculous for a number of reasons.

"Again, the idea that the Biden campaign or Joe Biden wanted Donald Trump locked down for six weeks, not going out, not sounding crazy, not sounding actually a lot crazier than he did four, five years ago, completely takes the wrong view of what's going on here," Scarborough said. "The Biden campaign loved what they saw on Friday, because they know what people on the inside of the Trump campaign know, and that is that Donald Trump is getting even crazier, even -- when I say crazier, I mean angrier, more unmoored from reality, and the one thing he has completely stopped doing is asking, 'Hey, what do you think of this? What do you think of that?' He's just completely raging and on his own."
