Lawrence O’Donnell: Donald Trump Is A ‘Very Dangerous Man Who Must Be Stopped’

Video
» 108 comments

On tonight’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell had some strong words for Donald Trump… kind of like all the other times he’s had strong words for Trump.

Calling Trump “America’s Vulgarian-in-Chief,” O’Donnell led viewers through Trump’s recent Today interview with Savannah Guthrie, his awkward chat with George Stephanopoulos, and his interview Michael Isikoff – discussing his stance on abortion, his doubts about Barack Obama‘s country of birth, and his business practices (not to mention the establishment of his genuinely perplexing “Trump University”), respectively. O’Donnell continued by calling Trump a “very silly man” who can barely string a sentence together, calling special attention to an instance of Trump using poor grammar.

He then asserts – exactly as he did the night before – that Trump will not end up running for President, and that NBC will tighten the reins on Trump just as soon as the network announces its programming for next season. Then, he warned his audience that Trump is downright dangerous:

In the meantime he will continue – knowingly or not – to fan the flames of hatred in this country, hatred of an imagined foreign-born president, a hatred that is born by many who simply hate that we have our first African-American president.

There is something very ugly in what Donald Trump is doing, and it is built on a base of racism and paranoia. I’m not saying Donald Trump is racist or paranoid; he doesn’t have to be to do the damage he is doing in this country. He just has to be vulgar enough to keep barking out the lies that the racist, paranoid Obama-haters want to hear. And in doing that for them, on major network television talk shows, it legitimizes their feelings, their hatreds, their racism…

The problem with O’Donnell’s assertions, as eloquently stated and impassioned as they may be, is that saying this – once, twice, 78.2 billion times – insults the intelligence of his viewers. Presumably, people tuning in to evening political opinion / news programs like The Last Word are extremely aware of everything Trump has been saying and don’t need O’Donnell to spell things out for them, interview by interview. And if this is man truly is so idiotic, so vulgar, so beneath the illustrious position of this nation’s Commander-in-Chief as O’Donnell believes, wouldn’t lending airtime to his beliefs and rants be akin to feeding a growing monster? Is mocking Trump’s grammar really conducive to showing us that this man poses a real threat to his country? Do we really need O’Donnell to make dismissive remarks about Trump when the man’s own fellow party members – people like Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly and Mark Levin – have already done so, and done so much more succinctly?

O’Donnell agrees with this somewhat, but tells his viewers that – until NBC announces its next season’s lineup – it’s up to him to warn us all of the dangers he poses. As if this is not a tune we’ve heard time and time again – including on O’Donnell’s own show.

And then there’s the matter of the language O’Donnell chooses to describe Trump. Didn’t we all decide, rather recently, to hold hands, gather ’round a campfire and avoid using rhetoric like “he must be stopped”? If Trump truly even isn’t going to run, why must he be stopped? If he’s catering to one very specific group of Americans, what’s the great harm – wouldn’t this group remain just as frustrated (and, as O’Donnell claims, racist and paranoid) without Trump? Don’t they have many other politicians ready, willing and eager to echo Trump’s talking points? Does O’Donnell’s audience really need him – need him – to guide them through Trump’s interviews like this? (No.) Doesn’t the message lose its potency and urgency when it’s repeated over and over alongside an assertion like “well, this fool isn’t even going to run away, so…”? (Yes.)

Give us something new, please.

    “Vulgarian” Larry, really?! You are lucky SPY Magazine is no longer in play to sue for plagarism.

    I’m curious as to why – given his insistance that Don will not seek office – Lawrence spends so much obsessive air time disparaging The-Man-Who-Won’t-Run?

  • Alz

    Oh, and when referring to Lawrence, it is important to point out that he is a Socialist (as he says he is). People need to be able to translate what he says because of his abnormal belief system. .

    For example, something like “Socialist Lawrence O’Donnell” is probably good.

    Paranoia [ Defined ] – is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. Historically, this characterization was used to describe any delusional state.

    That’s describes Larry Overdose to a T !

  • Patrick

    I don’t like Trump, but does any serious-minded person really consider him dangerous?

  • ChrisNH

    I’m fine with Obamo’s ‘blackness.’ It’s his pansy-assed, communist, socialistic, lay-about Euro-whiteness that I hate.

    $6 gas HAS no color. And besides, all the horrible stuff happening on Oba-Mao’s ‘watch’ will happily kick him in the ass come 2012. There is not a chance that Oba-Mao reverses his slide to whatever the opposite of Heaven is.

  • StandUp

    Thanks Socialist Larry for confirming what we already knew- Socialists/Libs/Progs want to silence and stop anyone who doesn’t fall in lockstep with their beliefs. No dissent is allowed. Thankfully, these people are slowly dissolving away and conservative-minded people are still the majority of Americans.

    This has been posted here before, but it bears repeating-

    If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test

    If a Conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
    If a Liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

    If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
    If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

    If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
    If a Liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

    If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
    A Liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

    If a Conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
    Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

    If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
    A Liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

    If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
    A Liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

    If a Conservative reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
    A Liberal will delete it because he’s “offended”.

  • dhg

    It’s always interesting to hear someone who is spreading dangerous rhetoric and ideology accuse someone else of doing the same thing.

    Especially when both sides of the arguement are completely irrelevant.

    Actually I’m glad Palin and Trump are getting all the attention from the Liberal News Network.It allows the real candidates to sneak up on the Dems and win MORE even than last time.

    Yo, Lawrence, last time I checked us AMERICANS did NOT let Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Levin, Savannah Guthrie, George Stephanopoulos, Michael Isikoff or a Socialist Commie Idiot like you tell us who the hell we should or should not vote for. Donald is not getting my vote but, I’ll be damned if I am going to allow a PMSnbc Village Idiot like you tell me who to vote for. Why weren’t you screaming at the top of your lungs for America to not vote for Obummer? After all he had criminal American hating buddies like Rev. Wright, Tony Rezco and Communist Pentagon and US Capitol ‘BOMBER’ Bill Ayers backing his sorry ass.

    Just how much are you, Chrissy Tingles, Cenk the sinkin’ ship, Randy Madcow and Fat Ed paying LSDnbc to let you spew out so much hatred and psychobabble each hour?

  • ganymede

    I have a lot of respect for Larry O’D, but this is one time I don’t agree with him. I think it’s great that Trump is doing his thing. Trump is the ultimate media egoist and he is only dangerous for the Republican Party. He could never run as a Democrat while spouting this crazy nonsense, but I’m fascinated that a significant number of rightwing people think he could possibly become our President. He’s just as phony and ignorant of what’s going on in the world as Palin, Bachmann and many of the Tea Party types. Even the serious rightwingers like Paul Ryan are doing a great job in deligitimitizing the Republican Party – he was booed and asked tough questions in Town Hall meetings in Wisconsin, his home state. People are catching on to the fact that it’s better to raise taxes on the rich rather than dismantle Medicaire! I’m beginning to think the Republican Party is going to implode before the 2012 election and, hopefully, will reorganize as a serious opposition to the Democrats.

  • Ajolily

    I don’t like Trump and believe him to be a lier who says anything to get attention. Maybe there is more to him than I think however if he has the left so scared of him.

  • rocky road

    Wonder who makes more money for NBC, O’Donnell or Trump? O’Donnell better be careful. Celebrity apprentice is a top rated show and Larry is well, just a ratings disaster. NBC would rather have Trump than Larry but Larry is just too stupid to understand that. Olbermann thought he was the king of cable and look what happened to him.

    MSNBC just gets worse by the day.

    Well Joseph theres that…..and there’s the National Socialist German Workers Party(Nazi’s), Asia’s, Marxist, and Lenninist embrace of socialism in The Peoples Republic of China, Laos, North Korea, Joseph Stalin…

    In fact, Socialism carries negative connotations to most people who believe in freedom of any sort, left and right alike.

  • Rusty Shackelford

    Poor,poor Larry,he’s had a gigantic hardon for NBC since they cancelled West Wing, which he had somehow attached himself to towards the end of their run. Plus NBC had the audacity to have him escorted off its lot. Larry has always envisioned himself a writer of TV shows,unfortunately for Larry there was’nt a network who thought the same.

    Now comes The Donald,a genuine money maker for NBC who’s recent media blitz has increased his shows ratings.All the while poor Larry is stuck on MSNBC,well below his self imagined pinnacle.

    Or perhaps he’s always wanted a place in Trump Towers,but could’nt afford to get thru the front door.

    Nooooo, Socialist Lawrence says he’s a Socialist. Socialism always ends up hurting people over time so anyone to advocates it is defective, wrong and possibly evil.

    “Government” by itself is not Socialist, but when it is run by Socialists, then we have a problem.

    The key thing to know here is that Socialism is not sustainable and that it end sup hurting people over time. If you like Socialism, then why do want to hurt people?

  • Becca

    Lawrence was awesome as usual. I couldn’t stop laughing at trump. I don’t think that he realizes how stupid
    he sounds. First, the question about abortions….the look on his face ..my God..I almost fell off the chair. His business management skills (LOL) and the Trump University questions (LMAO) “we didn’ know there was any
    rules” OMG!!! Lawrence is right. Those who hate Obama will look over how ignorant this man really is. Many
    of them will go against there own economic interest because of that hatred. trump says that America will be
    impressed with his vast fortune. I think not.

    Becca said:

    Yeah, that’s all Trump can keep talking about is how rich he is. Does he think that’s going to impress the middle class and the poor? That’s why I don’t think he’ll even run, because he’d have to disclose his finacial report and people will actually know what he’s really worth.

  • Becca

    Color Me Badd said:

    I agree.

  • Barack Must Go

    So let me get this straight. The left wing bomb throwers are trying to convince the ” real ” American people and liberals alike that Trump is not fit to be president of the United States of America.

    They use as their example Trump’s building and running of a far reaching global empire, including some businesses that have filed for bankruptcy protection emerging successfully to once again become solvent as their main arguement.

    They go on to say he is combative with them and fellow left wing zealots ( domestic terrorists ) and who wants a guy that speaks up and fights back in our White House…right….right ?

    So in the same week that our countries been warned by the financial community ( experts, they love experts ) warned that America was basically insolvent today, no one wants to lend us money, our credit rating is about to be down graded for the first time in this countries history, unemployment hovers at 10%, the dollar is being replaced as world benchmark currency, and on and on and on.

    They actually argue the point that a foreign born ( bad certificate ), racist ( 20 years Wright’s church, front row, his own recorded words and actions ), community organiser ( doesn’t mean jack ____ ), inway over his head ( anyone who denies it is an imbecile ) is better suited to lead America for the next 6 years than a guy that’s made billions upon billions of dollars turning around failing enterprises, making them the envy of the world.

    It’s really simple. Barack Obama has, in two short years, utterly destroyed this country for nothing more than his own racist ( YES RACIST ) hatred of this country, personal gain ( he’s a multi millionaire now ), plus his fatally flawed reparations based ( levelling the playing field ) radical ( having no place in America ) ideology.

    When I put these two CHARACTERS side by side in a sniff test, Barack Obama is far, far and away the one that is the most dangerous man/child in the world to the safety, well being and future existence of the United States of America and the very lives and futures of every ” real ” American man, woman and child that lives here.

    Sadly, that’s what happens when the place you started your (then small business) company at, has the highest corporate tax in the entire world. Not one other country has a higher corporate tax rate. With a growth rate of about 2%, keeping the corporate tax the same way it’s been for 20 or so years isn’t working.

You don’t support someone who does nothing but kicking the can. You support someone who actually takes initiative and lowers the corporate tax rate, income tax rate, and gets rid of stupid deductions.

And in doing that for them, on major network television talk shows, it legitimizes their feelings, their hatreds, their racism…”

    The man speaks the cold hard truth…Amen.

    Trump is a rabble rouser and a blow hard. He is a modern day version of PT Barnum.
    Like Barnum, he is a ringmaster. He stands in the spotlight and tells the suckers how grand the show will be.
    But, he never goes up on the high wire, he never goes into the lion’s cage.
    He is the interlocutor, not the performer.
    He will never run.

    Nooooo, Socialist Lawrence says he’s a Socialist. Socialism always ends up hurting people over time so anyone to advocates it is defective, wrong and possibly evil.

    “Government” by itself is not Socialist, but when it is run by Socialists, then we have a problem.

    The key thing to know here is that Socialism is not sustainable

    Government by DEFINITION is socialist. It is the coming together as a society for the common good.
    THAT IS SOCIALISM.
    Try telling Scandinavia that socialism is not sustainable.
    David Duke ran as a Republican. Does that make all Republicans Klansmen?
    The difference between socialism and fascism has filled books for the last century.
    I can’t read them for you, but you should.
    When you get past that easy part, there is another library on the differences between socialism and Communism.
    There hasn’t been a true Communistic society outside of a few monasteries in over five hundred years.

    There’s a special place in hell reserved for these lying conniving MSNBC pundits. White voters, even among southerners, were a large chunk of those whom voted for Obama. After 8 years of the unpopular policies of Bush/Cheney/Rove, most Americans were ready for genuine ‘hope and change’ , thus, helped to elect the first black presiden, ever, in US history. More than 2 years later, Obama’s leftwing policies are supported only by the extreme left, which makes up less than 20% of the voting population. America has NEVER been a nation which supported leftwing ideology and likely never will be. For these MSNBC agitators to carelessly and dangerously label anyone and everyone a racist, whom does not support Obama’s leftwing policies, in the name of ratings, shows exactly how low the media will now go. Karma awaits them all.

    But the only notice he gets is on sites like Mediaite and the
    “very few” MSNBC viewers, so he is preaching to the choir!

    What a coincidence. It seems that everyone who disagrees with the left is dangerous.

    Has anyone clued O’Donnell in to what Country he lives in? If you don’t like someone and they are on a ballot slip, you don’t vote for them. What a concept. If they never make it to the ballot slip then why worry about it Larry?

  • MoreLeftInsanity

    If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Obama half white, too? I am sick of the leftist “racist” statement every time they feel the least bit threatened about how weak their arguement is. This ODonnell guy is such a joke. He is a mere waterboy for Obama, as is the rest of main street media. Trump is a very smart business man, not a lawyer, so he would make a positive difference for this country. The left is out to destroy the USA, that’s obvious. The right isn’t much better, and Romney is nothing but another Obama. Romney is just 100% white. Im all for Trump fixing this horrible mess. Heads should roll and many politicians should be behind bars. The people of the US are not interested in political games or political points. We just want someone who truly looks out for the peoples best interest. Any Ahole can lie to get elected. Trump is straight forward, and has no reason to lie to get in.

    Quote: He then asserts – exactly as he did the night before – that Trump will not end up running for President, and that NBC will tighten the reins on Trump just as soon as the network announces its programming for next season. Then, he warned his audience that Trump is downright dangerous: Unquote.

    Am I the only one who found this so stupid that it is hilariously funny?

  • MoreLeftInsanity

    The only “danger” Trump might be is to the Democrat party and the Obama administration, for it will be Trump who finally exposes the fraud they all are. He needs no political points. He’s not part of the good ole’ boy redneck mentality in protecting each others crimes. Again, ODonnell is a total joke. Golly, how does MSNBC even stay on the air?? Oh yeah, Soros funded. hhhmmmm

  • gottosay

    Trump can be stopped just show how unethical of business deals he made
    show how morally corrupt he is
    socially inadequate of person he is ( he is too elitiest)
    If Trump had a strong bone in his body jumping at the president would not on his agenda jumping down the throats of unnecessary republicans

  • MoreLeftInsanity

    It cracks me up that the comments here that have misspellings and people using “there” for “their” are all LEFTIES! Too funny! Ignorant and uneducated. You guys are the ones Obama loves! You live in a total state of denial. If you’re a demoncrat then fine. Your choice. But to support the likes of Obama, just because he is your party guy when you must see his true evil intent AND still cover for him is truly disastrous. If the country falls you will be left standing alone with a “wah-happened?” expression on your faces. Maybe then you’ll get a dang clue.

  • CAconservative

    The mere fact that Trump is asking questions that should have been asked by main-stream politicians, gives us an insight into the lack credibility in the political beggars that want to be candidates. He must be hitting some raw nerves because even the Conservative media is backing away from him. They sure as hell don’t want to answer the questions he’s posing. The answers might alienate the bottom-feeders, and we can’t have that!

    Government DOES NOT have to Socialist. Maybe in your Socialist world, it does, but not on a Free Market world. In your world, the people are subservient to government and (liberal) elites, In the normal world, the government works for us. I know it sounds strange to you, but that’s the way it is.

    Tell Scandinavia, which has a very tiny and very homogeneous population, to give back all of the benefits of the security we have provided over the decades. Plus, add in all of the stuff we’ve bought from them.

    We’ve been able to thrive because of our more conservative system. Scandinavia would be in much worse shape without us.

    In short, they would be much more poor. It’s not scalable.

  • HiTekRescu3

    At least Trump knows to hire top trusted employees to run his businesses. Yes! some fail but the overall history shows a definite pattern of successes. Weigh the losses vs the successes! So far the man says it like it is and he can’t be intimidated by the media. How many of the potential candidates can say that! He’s got my vote! I just hope that he will ask LTC West to run as VP.

    You are hitting on something important: success. Trump. like most Americans WANT success. They want things to be better.

    But liberals don’t work like this. They want things ‘equal”.

    As we have seen, when the drive is to force everything to be “equal”, we all suffer.

    Well considering that Lawrence O’Donnell hails from MSNBC it tells me a lot – and that is never believe any\thing that comes from those idiots at MSNBC for they are still kissing Obummer’s arse to this date – we have plenty of time before we recognize the one that we can get serious over to vote for in the Republicans race – we sure are not worried about the Obummer’s race for he is on the way OUT!

    David Duke first ran as a Democrat, and ran as a Democrat more times than he ran as a Republican. You can not be making that comparison. I could say, All Democrats are Klansmen and Holocaust Deniers. If anyone tries to rationalize David Duke, needs to have their head truly checked. You can not rationalize a truly irrational act or person. And David Duke does not have all of his marbles, I don’t think he ever has.

    In politics, nobody is dangerous unless there are voters stupid enough to support them.
    Trump has been doing a lot of pandering lately and he’s getting lots of idiots to think he’s a viable candidate.
    it’s amazing how Obama is supposedly so vulnerable and yet conservatives have yet to find anyone willing to talk real and not go blah-blah-blah about birth certificates and the gay boogeyman.

    I KNOW Duke also ran as a Dem. THAT IS THE POINT! This fixation with labels is absurd.

    O’Donnell is a self-proclaimed Socialist. Socialists’ ultimate goal is the end of capitalism. Donald Trump is an example of a successful capitalist – businessman. Capitalism is responsible for the US being the most successful country in the history of man, without a doubt. If you wish for this end, then listen to idiots like O’Donnell. The leftist media is scared of people like Trump: Notice how Trump will gradually become a racist, stupid, vulgar, danger to the society in general. It’ an old, time-tested socialist-communist method. It worked in Russia and it can work here if you let it. Let’s point at the real danger here: Lawrence O’Donnell. The typical NBC, that place is full of them.

    Here’s the disconnect you are having: when government works for us (the People), then the parts that it should do can be good. This is NOT Socialism.

    Socialism is when the government is running things and even the parts that government should do are corrupted.

    Maybe you can’t tell the difference? And Scandinavia doesn’t have Socialism, they have Social Democracy.

  • Robbin Harper

    Thank you for stating the obvious in this title. His bully approach will not be tolerated by foreign leaders and that includes our allies. This guy thinks the world works like the Apprentice. Furthermore his stated strategies in our foreign affairs are extremely delusional and dangerous. When even jackasses like Bill O’Reilly are openly stating that Trump’s lunatic, delusional approach to foreign affairs would lead to World War III (a conclusion that would be reached by any second grader) you better take notice. The scary thing is there are lots of stupid gullible people (in both parties) who might buy into his “easy solutions” that are delusional and dangerous. It’s time to stop laughing. Dangerous leaders have come into power in the past and can again. Those who promise easy answers and rile up the egos of the small-minded with talk about glory/respect for their nation are the truly dangerous ones. Trump 2012 is such a horrible prospect for our country and the world. Wake up people. If he is elected it will be the stupidity of the people to be blamed more so than the delusional Trump.

    So O’Reilly (even numb nuts Glenn Beck is disgusted and laughing at Trumps lunatic “ideas” about foreign policy) has the sense to say that Trump’s approach to foreign affairs would cause World War III… but the idiot goes on to say that Trump MUST know this, and concludes that he is therefore saying these things to be provocative… as part of a grand strategy. And he somehow finds this acceptable. The Republican party is a whole lot crazier than we thought.

    You tube video “Donald Trump Closer to Running for President?? – FOX O’Reilly 04-20-2011″ is just one source of the insanity
