Donald Trump was “humiliated and exposed in a way that no previous president ever could be," said the MSNBC anchor.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday highlighted the moment earlier in the day that he believed Donald Trump was “fully humiliated on the world stage” after the president was fact-checked — to his face — by French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
Macron made Trump “the first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that ally,” claimed O’Donnell.
O’Donnell noted how Macron had interrupted “blustering” Trump who was parroting his “standard line about Europe’s aid to Ukraine, the lie that Europe has loaned money to Ukraine, and it’s a loan, and Ukraine has to pay it back.”
“Trump became the first American president in history fully humiliated on the world stage by instantly getting caught and corrected in his lie,” he continued.
Macron “actually reached out, grabbed the arm of the American president, to stop him from telling a lie about France and the rest of the countries of Europe,” he noted.
