Lawrence O’Donnell Shreds Trump For Talking About Drapes As Death Toll Rises In Iran
HuffPost
The “Last Word” host enumerated the many ways in which President Donald Trump’s war is illegal and skewered his seeming indifference to the human cost.
MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday laid into President Donald Trump for bragging about the drapes at the White House and telling reporters just how “beautiful” his new ballroom will be, while staying silent on the rising U.S. death toll of his war on Iran.
“When Donald Trump was speaking lovingly about drapes this afternoon, the publicly announced death toll of American military personnel in Donald Trump’s war was four,” O’Donnell said Monday during his opening monologue on “The Last Word.”
“And later today, after Donald Trump was talking about his love of his drapes, that number was raised to six,” he continued. “And Donald Trump has not said a word about those lost lives since that number moved up to six today.”
Critics have widely mocked Trump over his digression on Monday, where he stated during a White House ceremony for Medal of Honor recipients that he has “always liked gold,” gestured to the curtains in the East Room, and bragged, “I picked those drapes in my first term.”
O’Donnell claimed that Trump was likely the “only president in history” who, amid conflict, “is talking to the world about drapes that he chose.”
