Lawrence O’Donnell Debunks Donald Trump's Immunity Claim In The Most Sinister Way
HuffPost
"As stupid as Donald Trump is, he is not stupid enough to believe everything that Donald Trump says," the MSNBC anchor explained with a chilling example.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday trashed Donald Trump’s claim to total presidential immunity and explained why the former president likely doesn’t think it’s true himself.
“As stupid as Donald Trump is, he is not stupid enough to believe everything that Donald Trump says,” said O’Donnell.
A federal appeals court this week rejected Trump’s claim to have absolute immunity for potential criminal acts he committed while president.
O’Donnell argued that had Trump truly believed in presidential immunity, then the final days of his presidency could have taken a much more sinister turn.
“If Donald Trump thought presidential immunity from criminal prosecution existed while he was president, he would have not have been so polite with Vice President Mike Pence in begging him to overturn the presidential election,” said O’Donnell. Pence ultimately opted for democracy over his then-boss, despite pressure from Trump to flip the result.
