Lawrence O’Donnell: Donald Trump Is Our Weakest President, Backing Down Is What He Does

RUSH EXCERPT:

O'DONNELL: "When the president signed a so-called executive order to reverse his policy of separating parents and children at the border, much of the news media reported it wrongly as a rare reversal for Donald Trump, the tough guy who never backs down, surprisingly backs down. That’s what some people thought. But the truth is, backing down is what Donald Trump does. We can list many more examples of Donald Trump backing down than Donald Trump holding to a consistent position. He said he would never settle the Trump University fraud case, and then he backed down and settled that case paying $25 million for the fraud that he committed against trump University students. He said he would get Mexico to pay for the wall on the southern border and then immediately and famously backed down when the Mexican president said he wouldn’t pay for the wall. Donald Trump said he would provide universal health care coverage to everyone in America, and then he backed down when Republicans in Congress refused to do that."
