Lawrence: Canada's Trudeau humiliates 'cowardly' Trump who backs down on tariffs. Again. - The Last Word - MSNBC



MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Donald Trump, the “most economically ignorant president in history,” backed down on his “illegal tariffs” against Canada and Mexico after Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau rebuked his tariff lies in speaking directly to the American people more convincingly than the “blustering, lying” Trump. - Aired on 03/05/2025.

Lawrence O'Donnell is great. Watch especially the last five minutes or so where Lawrence goes off on Trump and the Republican's plans to cut Medicaid.

3. Lawrence is the best. He has the experience to articulate issues clearly and he chooses the issues we need to understand

Pretty thin on top now. I just set the clippers on #2 and go over my whole head now. No big deal. When you are 75 no one looks at you any how. Save a lot on hair products.

He also had Senator Whitehouse as a guest and the senator usually uploads his MSNBC appearances, so I'll post that as well when it's available.

13. Lawrences's is THE single best explanation of Trump's economic stupidity, and the Reality of American economics.

Yes. Trump will back down and spout a "pause" lie about why. He's terrified about his stupidity being revealed.

Most coffee drinkers don't even know about the fact that the coffee economy (now that we don't import oil) is based on coffee being America's largest single import -- and neither does Trump. Tariffs on coffee are like the British king's greedy tariff on tea which began the Revolution. A coffee tariff could prod a similar result now.

Trump's "a little disturbance" is the lie about tariffs being imposed as a "national security" measure.

Lawrence's folding in Trudeau's great, leaderly statement, "Your government is doing this to YOU" was a masterclass about how Trump's stupidity wrecks both domestic and his own trade economics.

The tariff fuckup came from trying to cover over the immigration fuckup.

This felon fucks around, finds out, then backs down.

Gotta LUV Lawrence. Thanks for this!
