This morning Bill Cosby appeared on the Today Show to talk about the work he’s doing to help kids in Connecticut schools stay on the straight-and-narrow path, but conversation shifted quickly to politics and Donald Trump in particular.

“Oh please with Donald Trump, take him home with you,” Cosby said to Today host Meredith Vieira after she interviewed the real estate mogul about his much-discussed potential run for the White House.

Vieira asked Trump a host of questions regarding a run for president, his thoughts on Obama, and whether or not he saw himself as a Tea Party member – to which Trump replied, “I think so.”

Cosby certainly didn’t mince words when Vieira pressed him a little further on his thoughts about Trump.

“He’s full of it,” Cosby said. “Based on what I just heard. You kept asking him, ‘Are you gonna run, are you gonna run?’ He jumped. Either you run or you shut up.”

“The only thing he’s running is his mouth,” Cosby quipped.
