Lawrence: NY fraud case will expose Trump's foundational political lie about his wealth

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell analyzes the latest developments in Donald Trump’s attempts to secure an appeal bond for New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud victory against him, including his late night rants on social media where, in an apparent contradiction to a court filing from his attorneys, he claims he has enough to pay the bond.

Mr. Lawrence has such an effective way of explaining challenging and complex topics.

No one tells a story that can chill your spine like Lawrence O’Donnell.

"And that's the way it is" Walter Cronkite. Great reporting Lawrence.

Exceptional Lawrence. Please keep up with the Truth with Facts.

I awoke to this, this Saturday, here in Ireland. It has made me feel perhaps, things are finally falling into place and all will be as it should be, at last. For those who were on the losing end of business dealings with defendant Trump through the years, and lost so much. For the families who lost loved ones during Covid because of his mis- management. For the families whose children were torn from them at the border. For the grifting for himself and (unqualified) family members once in the WH. For the women he has used. I feel this is what Karma looks like. And justice of course. Don’t let him anywhere near the WH again America. If you do, you will deserve everything that will come with it. 💙💙💙💙💙

Trump is just a big bag of wind. I’ve never seen anyone yammer so much and say nothing of value. And wealthy people don’t constantly let you know they’re wealthy.

Do you know what rich people don’t do? They don’t tell you they are rich.

Can you imagine any competent "Billionaire" bankrupting casinos? A business towhere the "house" wins all the time!

Proper vetting would have showed Cheeto's shaky financials as well, way back in 2016 run.

Lawrence... I LOVE the calm way you speak and present your information... you remind me of the news with Walter Cronkite

[sweetpealee]

Lawrence O'Donnell in rare form tonight! Bless you for telling it like it really is! And thank you for voicing what we're all thinking and feeling 👏👏👏🫶✌️😊🌊💙🌊💙

[davidhaught-rnwg]

Some people still think he’s rich. Those of us that have been paying attention have always known he inherited money and now we also know that whatever else he acquired was via fraud.

It’s mythology and low information people still believe in it.

[OohGreat]

*This has ALWAYS been why he will not release his tax returns, he’s a lifetime grifter and con* 🚫💰🍊🤡

[sachita]

Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell for putting the truth on display. It's a special Last Word.

[johnt]

Well this just confirms what we always knew, not only does Donald Trump lie all the time but he is also cheap, cheap, cheap.

[alexanderdantonio]

This is the most brutal takedown of trump ive ever witnessed. Lawrence threw off the veneer of trump's lies for all to see. Much respect and awe.

[Frenzy]

I wonder how many of these overvalued, highly encumbered properties it's going to take to get this amount of money?...

[gjmay]

Lawrence truly captivates my attention. He can take the same facts that are out there for everyone, yet he always presents them from a uniquely different angle.Lawrence reminds me of your favorite, incredibly wise college professor He never raises his voice, but it commands your full attention. It always grabs me. I could be running late for an appt., but would still want to keep listening to his "class". I have lots of faves at MSNBC, but must say that I always find myself wanting for Mr. O'Donnell's segment to go longer. He is quite unique.

[rodneycarmichael]

Undoubtedly trumpets biggest fear is the shattering of the public's perception of his ficticious wealth..
