Lawrence O’Donnell Slams Trump Over 1 Thing ‘The Worst American War Criminals Never Said’ | EUROtoday

MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday railed towards President Donald Trump over his struggle on Iran and renewed risk to destroy its civilian infrastructure, noting no U.S. struggle felony has ever publicly stated it might be their “honor” to commit such crimes.

The “Last Word” host was analyzing a social media put up Trump printed earlier within the day, during which O’Donnell stated the president appeared to indicate he was “running this war himself.”

“Donald Trump announced, ‘I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well,’” famous O’Donnell. “That is Donald Trump’s latest assessment of his war, ‘I’m winning a War.’ But as we know, that assessment is subject to change at any moment and is always false.”

He continued, “It was only yesterday that Donald Trump once again publicly threatened to commit war crimes in Iran, which is in and of itself a war crime, the public threatening of war crimes. Donald Trump said, ‘We’re offering a very fair and responsible DEAL.’”

Trump then went on to threaten Iran with the destruction of their civilian infrastructure, which is a struggle crime underneath worldwide regulation, in the event that they don’t settle for his “DEAL.” He warned, “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY,” including, “it will be my Honor to do what has to be done.”

“Couple things,” stated O’Donnell. “‘It will be my honor’ to commit war crimes is something that the worst American war criminals never said.”

He famous that Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr., who killed lots of of Vietnamese civilians “at close-range gunpoint, execution-style — men, women, children, babies, grandparents — never said, ‘It will be my honor to murder Vietnamese babies.’”

Trump beforehand condemned previous administrations for waging expensive wars within the Middle East and had vowed to give attention to “America First,” solely to launch a expensive struggle within the Middle East that has already killed at the very least 13 U.S. army service members and greater than 3,000 Iranians.

“It’s only Donald Trump who thinks threatening war crimes and committing war crimes ‘will be my honor,’” he stated, including that the “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” risk “really has no meaning for a person who has not spent one day of his life as a nice guy.”
