Scarborough: Trump’s Press Conferences Are Hurting Him in the Polls

‘Your two-hour press conference, it’s called the law of diminishing returns’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “Mika, here’s the deal, we’ve got a series of polls that are now confirming exactly what we all were saying last week. That is, the President’s press conferences are hurting him. The President darting around left and right, hurting him. The President, on April 13th, saying, 'I have total authority.' Then on April 15th saying, 'Never mind, you guys have the total authority.' Then on April 17th, going, 'Liberate, open up your states.' Then yesterday, on April 22nd, saying, 'Don’t open your states. Georgia, you’re doing it the wrong way.' It freaks the governors out. It freaks the markets out. It freaks CEOs out. And, Mika, let’s go through these polls, it’s freaking the voters out. They’ve stopped listening, Donald. Your two-hour press conference, it’s called the law of diminishing returns. I read 'Sports Illustrated' in the back of my Econ 101 class at the University of Alabama, but I did learn about the law of diminishing returns. You should look it up. Because your two-hour press conferences are now not only beyond that curve of diminishing returns, you’re damaging yourself and you're making it less likely that people are going to be able to get to work earlier. You need to stop. I’ve said it for weeks. Look at these poll numbers. You’ll see I’m right, again."
