Donald Trump is on a “humiliation tour” of the Middle East, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell said Tuesday.
But the president is “too stupid to know it,” the “Last Word” anchor suggested.
Trump has faced backlash from both sides of the aisle over his defense of plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar. O’Donnell argued Middle Eastern leaders will view Trump with contempt and “someone who lives beneath them, as someone who takes their secondhand junk, their secondhand toys.”
O’Donnell also pointed out the irony of Trump’s recent remarks about American children having limited Christmas presents due to price hikes caused by his tariffs, which Trump is now climbing down from.
“The president of the United States, who just last week was telling American kids how many toys they could have for Christmas, is now humiliating himself with those Middle Eastern dictators by showing them just how much he covets their toys,” O’Donnell snarked.
