Lawrence O'Donnell on the trump "presser" just now [View all]

On his bluesky: "If Joe Biden had ever...."

Then a clip of trump saying "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

There were mountains of lies and insanity and contradictions and name-calling and threats during this press conference. In fact, it was overwhelming. Sometimes isolating one comment so that the coverage of it can be compared to Biden is instructive.

And in this case, we all know what would have happened if Joe Biden had said that.

Still, even MSNOW is normalizing this debacle. Even after he insulted their reporter (a female of course) who asked him a question.
