Donald Trump Calls Lawrence O’Donnell A ‘Total Loser Who Is Killing The MSNBC Brand’

» 85 comments

Donald Trump launched a Twitter offensive on Tuesday, excoriating MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell. “Last year @Lawrence strongly predicted that @TimPawlenty would be the Republican nominee–@Lawrence is a total loser who is killing the MSNBC brand,” Trump sniped. “He is begging me to be on his show. I am his only hope–@oreillyfactor killed him.”

O’Donnell hit right back at the real estate magnate and reality TV host. “What else did I predict? Something about u? Like the exact day u would reveal that u were not running. That was so easy.”

“I assume you’re still afraid of coming on my show,” O’Donnell added. “Don’t worry, we will light your hair any way you want. Politeness (to the hosts) prevents me from naming lower rated shows than mine you’ve appeared on.”

RELATED: If Lawrence O’Donnell Cares So Little About Donald Trump, Why Is He Still Talking About Him?

“There is no such thing,” return-volleyed Trump. “They can’t get much lower than yours.”

“It’s sad with only 57,000 followers on Twitter that you are topping your broadcast.”

Earlier this year, O’Donnell reported scathingly on Trump’s aborted run for the Republican nomination, calling The Apprentice host “a very dangerous man who must be stopped” and “NBC’s greatest individual embarrassment.”

    Iwonder whose side James is on?  Given that picture of Trump, and that Trump is not a democrat, I’m guessing James sides with LOD.

    LOD is a total loser.

    Trump the Liar is just mad that O’Donneell called him out and was 100% right about his presidential campaign being a farce and a ploy for reality TV publicity.
    Still waiting for those promised tax returns, Donald – and for you to reveal the ‘amazing things’ your Super Secret Hawaiian Birther Task Force uncovered at all those luaus.

    O’Donnell is just another in a long line of people killing the NBC brand.Persoanlly I hate that smirk he keeps on his face while he rants and raves against the right.

    He was on Homeland,the series on Showtime,and he looked like an idiot.

    I’m just waiting for him to go ruin the Current brand like the other people who were ruining the NBC brand.

  • Chrisg

    It’s quite complicated.  Gawker did a piece with a pic showing how it is actually cross-hatched, a several step diagram was required.  Trust me, you’re better off not knowing.

  • Anonymous

    With all due respect to the Donald, the MSNBC “brand” was a joke long before Lawrence O’Donnell got a show.  This network doesn’t hire journalists. merely propagandists.

  • Chrisg

    are there any GOOD pictures of the Trump???

    he’s a disgusting cretin and blowhard and proof that money can’t buy class or taste.

  • Anonymous

    Trump is not really in the news.  He is merely in the news as defined by Mediaite.  If you note, this doesn’t even pretend to cover a news story, it just rehashes some stale tweets. 

  • Robert Bayden

    Frump’s announcement that he was not running did coincide with Celebrity Apprentice winding down. Duh.

  • Chuck, Sacramento

    Any with representations of how many employees he has or how many real estate holdings.  He’s a highly successful business man in spite of his hair.  Lawrence is nothing but an admitted socialist and bomb thrower.  Not soon enough he’ll be performing to blades of grass while mowing his lawn and ranting about how evil someone who isn’t a socialist is…

  • Robert Bayden

    LMAO No, a flattering picture of Trump’s hair is rare

  • Hooligan

    msnbc, the oba’mao’ jock sniffing, shoe shine boy, club for losers, the only reason that network w/nbc is still on the air is b/c this thug administration gave them over a billion dollars in bail out money, they are both reminiscent of the good ole days of pravda in communist russia 

  • TruDat

    Trump hit the nail on the head with that analysis. 

    O’Donnell is a loser, but so are the rest of the left-wing loons who populate that failed network.

  • ROTFLMAO

    O’Donnell, there ARE NOT many Lower Rated Shows than yours other than
    those on your own Network. I don’t recall Trump appearing on any MSNBC Show (except Morning Goober)!
    Now Morning Goober is, I will admit,  a very LOW rated show!

  • ROTFLMAO

    “Last year @Lawrence strongly predicted that @TimPawlenty would be the Republican nominee–@Lawrence is a total loser who is killing the MSNBC brand,” Trump sniped.

    O’Dummy also predicted that Obama would get what he wanted all along, a clean vote on raising the debt ceiling.  Wrong yet again, Crazy Larry.

    This clown’s ratings are so bad they’re replacing him with liberal buffoon Sgt. Schultz.

  • Anonymous

    MSNBC is ruining its own brand by going ‘all in’ with the liberal side.  O’Donnell’s a symptom of the strategy, not the cause…

  • ROTFLMAO

    As the Donald said, “O’Reilly Factor was killing him”!!
    Now Greta will finish him! Neither LarryPoo or Fat ED never came close in
    that time slot…
    Let the demise continue!!!

    I never really watched O’Donnell’s show, but now that I know Trump does not like him  I may tune into the broadcast.

  • Becarson45

    Because Libtards cannot and will not fight one on one.  They are usually chickenshit p@ssies whose fathers abandoned them due to their loserness.

  • clever

    Don’t blame Lawrence for ruining MSNBC he has the help of all the other libtards on the station not to mention lock up raw gets more of a audience then all the other libtards put together.And thats when they are playing repeats.

  • curious

    noone is more of a personal idiot than trump, on a scale of 1 – 10 he is a -12

  • curious

    he’s inherited anything he has, whenever he is about to fail he declares bankruptcy and cheats everyone out of what he owes them

  • curious

    you people think you are so knowledgeable about the NBC brand, when all you are is a bunch of losers who sit around making ignorant comments on websites, you wouldn’t know how to do anything productive anyway

    Judging by the caliber of his enemies, this O’Donnell guy must be terrific!

    That’s true. I forgot about that. O’Donnell was one of the only pundits who didn’t fall for Trump’s desperate publicity bid.

    No one with an active thinking brain thought that Trump was going to actually be a Presidential contender.  The fact that Lawrence thought so proves what a shill he is.

    I thought MSNBC just ran loser talk show hosts like Schultz, Maddow, Odonnnel, etc. because MSNBC could not afford to buy the rights to keep running “LOCK UP” reruns 24/7.

  • Bob

     Apparently, the majority of the rank-and-file GOP base thought he was for real – Trump was leading the entire field in the polls.
    So, as you said, “no one with an active thinking brain.”

    Speaking of brand-killing, I can remember a time when NBC primetime had quality programming and wasn’t defined by bad reality TV game shows hosted by an 80s has-been, fake-billionaire.

    Donald trump is only half right on this one. You see, MSNBC has been dying for quite some time now. Larry O is just another self inflicted thrust of the blade to the walking corpse we call MSNBC.

  • ceeza

    Fox and Friends gives him a pretty big platform weekly….and since Foxnews is the biggest news channel.. I’d say he’s in the news and you retards put and keep him there..

  • PaulG85

    Donald Trump epitomizes what it means to be thin-skinned. There’s no one as weak as he. Donald Trump is rich because of his father’s money and a little bit from is now on the ropes reality show. Gilbert Gottfried was right when he said that Donald has done so much to ruin the NY skyline his nickname should be changed from “The Donald” to “The 20th Hijacker”.

    Well? He’s right. O’Donnell is an incredible loser who exhibits all the signs of complete mental deficiency. O’Donnell should be committed and forced to inhabit a straight jacket and padded cell so as not to spread his unbalanced vitriol to the general public.

    Amen, Donald, amen! Lawrence is one of several losers on the LOSER cable network. Comcast should just shut that pile of trash down and in turn do the world a favor. Well maybe not the world simnce nobody watches msnbc in the first place. That place is ideal for juvenile (1-3 year olds) clowns. In fact their talking heads pretty much fit the bill in the Romper Room world.

    Trump prior to his expressing an interest in running use to go on MSNBC often during there morning shows. 

    Also FOX shows like Bill O or Hannity has more viewers in the demo then MSNBC has total viewers.

    In all fairness, MSNBC is a shitty brand to begin with and Lawrence O’Donnell is hardly the only reason why it’s such a shitty brand. It’s the lies and the propaganda that they ALL spew there.

    I think in a different post you said you watch MSNBC than Fox. You have been outed

    HeeHeehee….You said “Frump” instead of “Trump”….giggle, giggle…

    If Fox’s demo is 70′s to 80′s, then MSNBC’s has to be the 120′s-130′s demo based off their ratings.

    Kind of sounds like Fox, notably, when beck had his show on that network.  Nazi this; Nazi that; Hitler this; Hitler that……..hundreds of times when talking about Obama and his administration.

    But though beck is gone, the propaganda continues at Fox through other means.

    beck = propagandist extraordinaire = joseph goebbels

    Fox News = ministry of propaganda

    Lawrence making fun of Trump’s hair is funny,however Lawrence your Hair is just as funny, it looks blow dried to fill in the patches of Hair loss, and the size of your head is huge,almost taking all the camera space,lmao! I must say your show ratings must be low, cause I only watch you sometimes cause your funny looking and lathargic at best, but funny!

  • Dmexes

    I don’t get it.  If msnbc is so bad why do you waste your time talking about it.  Just keep watching Fox news Republicans. In my opinion Fox news is poison.  I don’t agree with their views so I just don’t watch.  Why resort to acting like children.

    we use a VARIETY of
    sources including cnn and fox…also msnbc fox’s demo is
    aged 70s-80s while msnbc is much lower so they have to compete with
    primetime shows, espn, internet blogs etc [everything else
    conservative loons think is "leftwing"]

    Sorry but Fox blows away all
    competition in all demos that’s simply a fact.

    msnbc primetime shows, espn,if they
    think they are competing with primetime shows, espn they are losing
    badly

    Sorry but FNC thumps all others in the
    total viewer as well as the coveted In the 25-54
    demographic (Live +SD)

    Why lie about things that are so well
    known it makes you sound like a moron.

    25-54 demographic (Live +SD)

    Total day: FNC: 330 | MSNBC: 142 | CNN: 206
    | HLN: 128

    Primetime: FNC:
    443 | MSNBC: 249 | CNN: 294 | HLN: 178

    MSNBC ranks #30 out of 30, that is the
    bottom of the bottom

    shows with lower ratings than
    O’Donnell:

    as of on October 24, 2011

  • Noble200853

    You are so correct.  The real reason O’Donell hates Trump is that both are graduates of Harvard, but Trump’s education put him ahead of O’Donnell and his need to be a socialist.  I bet O’Donnell does not by any means gives half of income back to the government to support his socialism!!! He is a fake 100%.  Does not talk but avoids the walk.  But he is no different than the socialists in our government (better known as progressives) in most cirles.
