O'Donnell Blasts Trump's Iran Threats

0:00On April 21st, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell went off on President Trump this week for threatening to wipe out Iran's civilian infrastructure. He pointed out that no U.S. war criminal has ever bragged publicly about committing such acts. O'Donnell broke down Trump's social media posts where he claimed total victory in the conflict. Earlier this week, Trump posted that he's winning the war by a lot and things are going great. But O'Donnell called that claim flat out wrong and always shifting. Trump also warned Iran to take his deal or face total destruction of key sites, calling it his duty to act tough. O'Donnell highlighted how even infamous figures like Army Lieutenant William Calle Jr. who executed hundreds of Vietnamese civilians up close. Never boasted about the honor in it. Trump ran on America first, promising no more endless Middle East wars, yet here we are with him deep in one. The fighting has already cost at least 13 American servicemembers their lives and over 3,000 Iranians. Officials say Trump's solo style means he's calling all the shots without much backup.
