WASHINGTON, DC: A poll conducted by the firm JL Partners and released by the Daily Mail on Tuesday asked 1,000 likely voters for one word to sum up President Joe Biden's and former president Donald Trump's plans for a new term in 2024 if voted into the White House.

‘Morning Joe’ anchors Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire shed some light on this poll, which was compiled into a “word cloud” with the most popular word being the most prominent.

Trump also shared his word cloud on Truth Social as Geist and Lemire offered a breakdown for their viewers, with a focus on the former president.

‘Revenge’ vs ‘Nothing’

On ‘Morning Joe’, MSNBC anchor Willie Geist started by telling the viewers about the now viral word cloud. Geist said, “In a recent survey, the Daily Mail asked voters to describe in one word what they thought Donald Trump and Joe Biden would want if voted into the White House next year. The results were compiled into a word cloud where the most popular word is the most prominent on the graphic.”



 

Geist first spoke about Joe Biden’s word cloud, “For Biden, the word was 'nothing', followed by economy and peace."

He then moved on to Donald Trump,  “For Trump, the most popular word was ‘revenge', followed closely by ‘dictatorship’ and ‘power'. Trump then posted it to his social media page, very proud of the outcome there.”

Jonathan Lemire says ‘that’s scary stuff’

“This is not a scientific study but perhaps instructive on both counts in some way,” said Willie Geist, before adding, “Donald Trump really enjoying the fact that people associate his return to the White House with revenge, possibly because this is explicitly what he has said this is going to be about."

He added, “And on the other hand if you’re Joe Biden or the Biden campaign, you probably don’t love seeing the word ‘nothing’ the first thing that comes to mind for voters.”

Jonathan Lemire was next to weigh in and said, “No. On the eve of an election year, ‘Nothing’ is a tough word to see the center of your word cloud. But at least President Biden's team didn't post that on social media, unlike what Donald Trump did.”

Lemire also added, “This is a man who has told his supporters, ‘I will be your retribution.’”

“He and his aides talk about how he will get revenge on his political foes, crossing all kinds of lines of norms and democratic values to do so. I guess when he says something, we should just believe him. If we believe him, that's scary stuff,” said Lemire.
