No longer content to merely be president of the United States, Donald Trump now wants us to believe that the strike he ordered on suspected Iranian nuclear facilities makes him and members of his national security team “warriors.”
Trump made that remark before he left the NATO summit yesterday, telling reporters, “I have, as you know, Marco Rubio with me and Pete Hegseth, secretary of state and secretary of war. Should we say — you know, it used to be called ‘secretary of war,’ maybe for a couple of weeks we’ll call it that, ’cause we feel like warriors.”
But as MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell was quick to note, Trump has never been and will never be a warrior because he’s been a coward his entire life.
“Of course, Donald Trump feels like a warrior,” O’Donnell said. “Donald Trump, who evaded military service during the Vietnam War because he claimed his foot hurt. The same foot on which he spent the rest of his life playing endless miles of golf and never limping.”
“Donald Trump, who only had to choose which ridiculous hat to wear when he went to the Situation Room to be a spectator during his war in Iran, now feels like a warrior,” O’Donnell added. “The war that Donald Trump experienced in that air-conditioned room where he didn’t even have to loosen his necktie, makes Donald Trump feel like a warrior.”
“The biggest crybaby in the history of American politics now feels like a warrior. The man who spent every single day of his political and presidential life complaining that he is being treated unfairly now feels like a warrior. The man who told his insurrectionist mob that he would go to the Capitol with them on Jan. 6 now feels like a warrior.”
Donald Trump is a warrior? Nope. He’s just a rapist.
