Lawrence O’Donnell Slams Trump For 'Stupidest Thing' Any President 'Has Ever Said'

"The Last Word" host excoriated the president Monday in a segment spanning 26 minutes.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell torched President Donald Trump on Monday for his “stupid” theories on international trade, the precarious tariffs he imposed on U.S. imports and all the contradictory answers he gave during Sunday’s “Meet the Press” interview.
O’Donnell excoriated his falsehoods in a “Last Word” segment spanning 26 minutes.
“Donald Trump talks repeatedly in the interview about how much money we were losing because of international trade,” he said. “We have never lost a penny because of international trade. Donald Trump said, ‘We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China.’ Now, think about how very stupid and dishonest that statement is.”
“Donald Trump is counting every penny we spend on imported products as lost money,” O’Donnell continued. “That means every time we spend money, we are losing money, according to that theory.”
O’Donnell went on to blame this “very stupid economic theory of international trade” for Trump’s documented aversion to paying people “what he owes” and for his indifference that Americans won’t be able to cut costs by buying cheap foreign cars anymore.
