Lawrence O'Donnell And Hakeem Jeffries Destroy Donald Trump's White House Speech

Lawrence O'Donnell and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries put Donald Trump's desperate speech on blast, and provided all of the logic and clarity that Trump's speech lacked.

After watching Trump rant and rave for 15 minutes in what was a rage-filled speech, it was refreshing to see MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell spend less than four minutes destroying and deconstructing the speech.

It seems clear that whatever the White House intended the speech to be, it took a very different turn when it passed through Donald Trump's brain.

O’Donnell said:

 His speech, if we can call it that in it, Donald Trump said that when he took office. Quote, inflation was the worst in the history of our country. That is a lie. A typical Trump lie, inflation was at 3% when Donald Trump took office in inflation is at 3% right now. Donald Trump said that when he took office, we had quote transgender for everybody.

That would mean that Donald Trump is transgender. That would mean that everybody is transgender. It is of course Trumpian madness. We did not have transgender for everybody.

Donald Trump said I was elected in a landslide. That is a lie. Donald Trump won by 1.5% of the vote.

Donald Trump said they released violent felons, meaning the Biden administration.

No president in history has released more violent felons in one day than Donald Trump did. On his inauguration day when he pardoned every violent felon who attacked the capitol on January 6th, for him to try to overturn a presidential election for him, Donald Trump said that tariffs is, quote my favorite word.

Donald Trump lied when he said we made a lot more money because of tariffs. We didn’t make any money because of tariffs. America made no money because of that. The Trump tariffs paid to the United States Treasury have all been paid in the United States by Americans. The federal government has simply taken money away from Americans through the Trump tariffs.

Americans have had to take money out of their pockets. To pay for the Trump tariffs in this country. This is the first time that Donald Trump made a public reference to tariffs without telling the lie that foreign countries pay his tariffs. And Donald Trump lied about the Democrats saying Democrats are demanding increases in health insurance costs.

Donald Trump delivered his speech in a monotone anger. He seemed to be angry. At the truth.
