Former President Donald Trump’s recent mention of MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell during a hush money hearing in Lower Manhattan has sparked controversy and laughter. O’Donnell couldn’t help but chuckle at Trump’s remarks, especially considering the inaccuracies in Trump’s statements.
Trump took to Truth Social to mock O’Donnell, labeling him as “Ratings Challenged Lawrence O’Donnell, of MSDNC,” and commenting on his appearance in court, claiming he looked like “a real loser.” However, O’Donnell quickly pointed out the falsehoods in Trump’s post.
In a tweet on Wednesday morning, May 8, O’Donnell joked, “Trump posted this right after my show tonight. Must’ve been something I said.” He clarified that Trump’s mention of seeing him in court for the first time in years was untrue, as they had just met last week in the same place.
