“Trump Always Chickens Out might apply to more than one person named Trump.”
This was an absolute masterclass…
“And so the TACO watch is on again on Wall Street. This time, with August 1st as a deadline,” O’Donnell said on air, referring to the tariff deadline. “Donald Trump has never been very serious about deadlines.”
“You might recall his promise nine years ago that his wife would hold a press conference during Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign to explain her immigration status and she would do that to explain the evolution of her immigration status having arrived in this country, apparently, on a tourist visa,” he continued.
“There are people being rounded up by federal agents dressed as soldiers carrying weapons of war for overstaying tourist visas,” said O’Donnell. “And so Donald Trump, letter of the law compliance with immigration law is obviously the thing that he cares about the most.”
The truth, of course, is that Donald Trump is the furthest thing from a “law and order” president. He believes in weaponizing the law to hurt vulnerable communities and his political enemies, but has no problem breaking the law himself or allowing his cronies to do so. If Melania did indeed come to this country illegally, Donald wouldn’t care. He thinks that some people are simply above the law.
“He’s willing to send people to countries they’ve never been to for the slightest irregularity in their compliance with our immigration law,” O’Donnell went on. “He’s willing to send people to South Sudan where there is a war going on. People from Central America sent to South Sudan.”
“And so you might be wondering right now, what about Donald Trump’s third wife’s immigration status?” said O’Donnell. “Here’s what Donald Trump said about that in his first presidential campaign.”
He then played a clip of Trump ranting about allegations that Melania “might have come in illegally” and promising that she would hold a news conference in the “next couple weeks” to prove that she immigrated legally.
“‘Next couple of weeks. A news conference,”” said O’Donnell. “I paid attention to that deadline when Donald Trump issued that deadline and on this program exactly two weeks later, I asked why the Melania Trump press conference had not happened yet. Why did Donald Trump’s deadline for that important press conference come and go?”
“It’s nine years later. Donald Trump is rounding up people at the point of assault weapons. Donald Trump is sending troops into MacArthur Park in Los Angeles where children are playing,” said O’Donnell. “It’s nine years later and that press conference as of tonight is nine years overdue. So no, we’ve never heard Melania Trump’s story, Donald Trump’s third wife’s story about how she came to have legal residence in the United States.”
“And so Trump always chickens out might apply to more than one person named Trump,” he concluded.
America deserve answers.
