Donald Trump Keeps Feud With Lawrence O’Donnell Alive With Fairly Tame Hate Mail

If there is one potential silver lining to the disgusting Rep. Anthony Weiner story, it’s that it has kept Donald Trump moderately distant from the headlines. With that winding down just a bit, Trump is back, taking the time to address a number of annotated press notes to his greatest cable news nemesis, Lawrence O’Donnell, who was pleasantly surprised after all his attacks that Trump refuses to say anything truly hateful to him.

O’Donnell’s trainwreck fascination with Trump was reignited by Trump’s latest flirtation with an independent run for president, which he called “Donald’s latest joke.” O’Donnell had to laugh at the fact that “the poor man is trying to convince me of that,” with a letter simply stating “thanks for all your words, see you in the spring.” The note was accompanied by a series of articles with hand-written notes on them, underlining his favorite sentences, like “Trump is no clown.” “That’s positive press for him,” O’Donnell joked. The most amazing thing to O’Donnell, however, was that Trump, “famous for writing very nasty, very very hateful letters,” had refrained from insults. Of all his critics, O’Donnell noted, “I am the only such critic who has never been attacked by Donald Trump. His revenge mechanism simply doesn’t work with me.”

O’Donnell didn’t attribute it to fear but, rather, to the fact that “I’m right about everything I say about him and he wisely does not want to draw any more attention to someone who has him all figured out.”

With that in mind, O’Donnell went on to analyze Trump’s latest statement that the money being offered to him to continue The Apprentice was irresistible. This, he noted, was an admission that he didn’t have the money he claimed to have. “There is no billionaire,” he argued, “who looks at a TV job and thinks ‘it’s time to take the TV money.” As for the claim that “nobody” walks away from hit shows, O’Donnell shot that down with a list of people who had, from Jerry Seinfeld to Shelley Long to Johnny Carson.

Larry really REALLY wants a feud with someone… and nobody seems to care.

Poor guy.
THE REAL ROYAL KING

Sounds like Larry has got the Donald’s number.
cjd ohio 1

hate mail lol
Just my Opinion

Larry O’Donnell will NEVER have to worry about walking away from
a hit show!
Guaranteed.
I am really no fan of Trump, but if you ask 100 people who he is 99 will
tell you.
If you ask 100 people who Lawrence O’Donnell is, you would be lucky
to get one correct answer.
For that reason alone I don’t think it is anything more than Crazy
Larry trolling for another dozen or so viewers.
Same old tired, failing MSNBC strategy!
Why bother???

Well if he squats and poops enough someone will step into it and respond, that is if they are even listening to his show!

Does MSNBC keep going to the same mental hospital for their news anchors? They need Dr. Phil to ask them “how’s that working for ya?”

Trump made himself the national jackass and it could not have happened to a bigger buffoon.

So true.

Lawrence O’Donnell will do anything possible to keep Donald Trump in the limelight. After all, O’Donnell doesn’t want to report on the economy, unemployment, war casualties, the border, falling home prices, runaway deficits, expanding war fronts and all the other failures of the Obama administration. So he will grasp at any Trump story, no matter how trivial.

But what does it say about MSNBC that it runs a news network, yet its leading host never address the major stories of the day? Here we are, more than two years into a recession under the leadership of Barack Obama, and Rachel, Larry, Chris and Ed never report on the economy. What sad and feeble attempts at propaganda! As if people aren’t noticing what’s really happening, even if MSNBC tries to hide it.

Memo to Lawrence O’Donnell: When 20% of the work force is either unemployed, under-employed or too discouraged to look for work, this is a story. Donald Trump, in contrast, is not a story.

He is just Olbermann trying to feud with O’reilly.

In this article:

Of all his critics, O’Donnell noted, “I am the only such critic who has never been attacked by Donald Trump. His revenge mechanism simply doesn’t work with me.”

Trump realizes O’Donnell and all of A-MESS-NBC are as irrelevant as Media Matters!

Not far enough Francis, not far enough!

Has O’Donnell stopped beating his wife and children and pets long enough to keep this feud with Trump going?

If so, Approve!

If a Liberal screams on MSNBC and no one hears, did they make a sound? The age old liberal philosophic question.

I didn’t know Trump & O’Donnell were having a feud. Just goes to show you how important Larry (stooge #3) is.

Larry himself has said that Trump is insignificant and a joke. So what does it mean when O’Donnell has spent more time covering Trump this year than to the economy, or foreign policy, or the deficit?

MSNBC continues its fall into irrelevance and triviality.

Got a link for that story?…Can’t find it all….
Odd.

Poor Larry, no one listens to him any more!

He has to make up something so someone will talk about him!

Larry if you want to get noticed, do a “Weiner”…. on second thought…maybe not such a good idea.

The difference is that Donald’s other critics have viewership, and credibility.

Low IQ Lawrence O’Donnell’s routine nightly is getting very old and stale. Can’t Comcast hire some creative writers who can help idiot O’Donnell out? I mean good grief, this character has zilch, nada, zero, nothing, when it comes to his top floor. Seems the one and only bulb in his 6 bulb lamp has gone out. I don’t know, but maybe he wants out of his contract and figures by acting even dumber than he really is will get him the boot. All I know for sure is Lawrence O’Donnell’s show is by far the most boring show on TV.
