Lawrence O’Donnell Slams ‘Sociopath’ Trump Over 1 Confession That ‘Will Live In Infamy’ | EUROtoday

MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday slammed “sociopath” President Donald Trump over his newest lies concerning the Iran conflict, highlighting one confession from the “mad bomber” that does seem like real — and can “live in infamy” for hundreds of years to come back.

The “Last Word” host started with a declare Trump made Tuesday when requested if he’s “afraid” Iranian officers is likely to be proper in warning {that a} U.S. floor invasion there would resemble one other disastrous Vietnam War. The president stated, “I’m really not afraid of anything.”

O’Donnell performed a clip of the Oval Office trade earlier than roundly debunking that reply.

“Those are his exact words, ‘not afraid of anything,’” the MS NOW host stated. “The man who has spent years afraid of the Epstein files and is still blocking the full release of the complete Epstein files. The man who wears silly hats because he’s afraid his hair might be blown out of place.”

“The man who’s afraid of letting anyone see his natural skin color or his college transcript or his SAT scores,” O’Donnell continued, including: “The man who was very, very afraid of being drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War.”

He marveled on the notion that Trump now claims to be fearless and at how “perfect” it’s for a query about Vietnam to immediate this lie — as Trump’s father reportedly helped him keep away from the 1968 draft by having a health care provider diagnose him with bone spurs.

O’Donnell famous that this identical man is now sending Americans into conflict. The battle has already killed no less than 13 U.S. service members and greater than 1,400 Iranians and led National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent to resign in protest.

O’Donnell uncovered that lie simply as swiftly by displaying viewers a screenshot of Trump showering Kent with unbridled reward on social media after nominating him to his now-former place.

He later excoriated the president over a very chilling confession.

“No president in history has ever claimed to drop bombs ‘just for fun,’” stated O’Donnell. “That would, of course, brand that president as a sociopath. And so, of course, Donald Trump said exactly that.”

The president informed NBC News in an interview Saturday that he would possibly hold bombing an Iranian oil facility on Kharg Island “just for fun.” O’Donnell has frequently chronicled Trump’s brazen rhetoric however argued the president’s newest feedback are a wartime confession of historic proportions.

“That phrase will live in infamy with Donald Trump’s name for hundreds of years, as historians are able to isolate those words, ‘just for fun,’ as the conclusive proof they will need to make the case that Donald Trump is a sociopath,” he stated.

O’Donnell continued, “That Donald Trump was a mad bomber in every sense. Every historian will be able to see that he was a madman who thought bombing was fun.”
