Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘The Biggest Cry-Baby in the History of American Politics Now Feels Like a Warrior’

EXCERPT:

O'DONNELL: "'We feel like warriors.' Of course Donald Trump feels like a warrior, Donald Trump who evaded military service during the Vietnam War because he claimed his foot hurt; the same foot on which he spent the rest of his life playing endless miles of golf and never limping. There is no reason to believe that Donald Trump wasn’t perfectly healthy enough to serve in the military during the war of his youth, but like most men who were eligible to serve in the Vietnam War at that time, Donald Trump was terrified of being sent to the jungles of Vietnam and becoming another statistic in the American military body count that was far greater than all of the wars, the American wars of the 21st century combined. And so Donald Trump, who only had to choose which ridiculous hat to wear when he went to the Situation Room to be a spectator during his war in Iran now feels like a warrior. The war that Donald Trump experienced in that air-conditioned room where he didn’t even have to loosen his necktie makes Donald Trump feel like a warrior. The biggest crybaby in the history of American politics now feels like a warrior. The man who spent every single day of his political and presidential life complaining that he is being treated unfairly now feels like a warrior. The man who told his insurrectionist mob that he would go to the Capitol with them on January 6th now feels like a warrior.“
