MSNBC’s O’Donnell Rips Trump: ‘Believe Me Is a Liar’s Tell’

‘Liars like Donald Trump know better than anyone that they should not be believed’

RUSH EXCERPT:
O'DONNELL: "Like John Kelly, Donald Trump is never going to apologize. Donald Trump’s never going to apologize for saying not just the worst thing I have ever heard anyone say about an American prisoner of war, but the only bad thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about an American prisoner of war. American prisoners of war really are sacred as John Kelly would say and isn’t that curious that John Kelly did not demand an apology from Donald Trump for insulting an American prisoner of war before John Kelly agrees to go to work for Donald Trump and support everything Donald Trump does and says every day of Donald Trump’s life. In my lifetime, I have heard exactly one person insult exactly one American prisoner of war. One. Donald Trump attacks people and things when he is afraid. Donald Trump is attacking the department of justice tonight as if he was a drug kingpin under constant surveillance and investigation by the FBI and the Justice Department prosecutors. Instead of the president of the United States who appointed the head of the Justice Department, attorney general Jeff Sessions. Donald Trump’s history tells us very clearly that he launches these public attacks that seem to come out of the blue when he is worried, when he is afraid, feels threatened by whoever he is attacking. He will for the rest of his life be haunted and threatened by the simple fact that 3 million more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton for president than Donald Trump and he is attacking Hillary Clinton for the rest of his life including demanding that she be investigated. But Donald Trump who attacks Hillary Clinton is the childish and nasty sore loser Donald Trump, the Donald Trump attacking the department of justice is the constitutional crisis dlmp. We have never seen this before a. President publicly attacking his own department of justice. We do not know what president Trump is capable of doing or trying to do to the department of justice to stop it from pursuing justice in the Russia investigation and we do not know what the other branches of government, the congressional and the judicial branch, might do or might be able to do in reaction to an executive branch out of control if the president tries to interfere with that simple one-word mission of the department of justice. Which is, of course, justice. We will study this conflict in detail tonight. The first question that must be asked about this conflict between the president and the department of justice is very simple. Do you believe Donald Trump? Polls show that most people don’t believe Donald Trump. Donald Trump knows that most people don’t believe him. He has known all of his life that most people don’t believe him most of the time and that is why he constantly says, believe me. Says it all time. It is a habitual verbal tick of his. A desperate plea to be believed when he knows he shouldn’t be believed. Believe me. Liars like Donald Trump know better than anyone that they should not be believed."
