Lawrence: Trump is too stupid to keep his story straight on Qatar's gift of a $400M plane - The Last Word - MSNBC



As Donald Trump makes his “corrupt thank you tour of Middle Eastern dictatorships,” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes how Trump, who told American kids how many toys they could have for Christmas, is now “humiliating himself” by showing those Middle Eastern dictators “just how much he covets their toys.” - Aired on 05/13/2025.

Like a knife. Just carved him up, pushed the remains to the side of the plate and said, “waiter, you can take this now.”

I guess Trump did not get a classical liberal arts education.

Fill in the blank from Virgil's Aeneid.

I fear the _____ even when they come bearing gifts.

Is that plane 100% secure?
