Donald Trump Humiliated and Exposed Like No President Before—You Won’t Believe What Happened!”

Lawrence O’Donnell, a host on MSNBC, talked about a moment he believed was deeply embarrassing for Donald Trump. He said Trump was “humiliated and exposed in a way no other president has ever been.” This happened during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, who publicly corrected Trump while they were speaking. O’Donnell called this a historic moment because, in his view, no other U.S. president had ever been interrupted and corrected so directly by an ally during a conversation.

During the meeting, Trump was repeating a claim he often makes: that Europe’s financial aid to Ukraine is a loan that Ukraine has to pay back. Macron stepped in to correct him, saying this wasn’t true. O’Donnell described Trump as “blustering,” meaning he was talking loudly and confidently but not accurately. Macron even reached out and touched Trump’s arm to stop him from spreading the false information. O’Donnell said this made Trump the first U.S. president to be “fully humiliated on the world stage” by being caught in a lie and corrected right away.

O’Donnell went on to say that Trump’s behavior was shocking because no other president would have tried to lie so openly in front of the person they were lying about. He called Trump’s actions “pathological,” meaning they were extreme and unhealthy, and even “stupid,” because no other president would have taken such a risk.

Recently, Trump has been criticizing Ukraine more often as he tries to negotiate a peace deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin started the war in Ukraine in 2022, but Trump’s efforts to make peace don’t include Ukraine’s input, which has raised concerns.
