MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Absolutely Delights In Retelling ‘Orange Turd’ Testimony From Trump Hush Money Trial

Former President Donald Trump endured a second day of testimony from adult film star Stormy Daniels on Thursday, but part of what was uttered in court had MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell just overwhelmed with schadenfreude.

Just days after Trump told his Truth Social followers that O’Donnell “looked like shit” when he saw him in court, O’Donnell had his just desserts over the “orange turd” portion of Daniels’ questioning during his show on Thursday:

We begin at the end, because this time, the end tells you everything you need to know about what came before that in the courtroom today, where Donald Trump was called “the orange turd” repeatedly by Stormy Daniels and by his own lawyer. That’s right. That’s how Donald Trump’s day went today. The woman he has paid more money to than any woman he hasn’t married, criminal defense attorney Susan Necheles, repeatedly called her client Donald Trump, the “orange turd” on what she thought was an effective cross-examination of Stormy Daniels.

So imagine Donald Trump sitting in that courtroom today, slumped in his chair, leaving his eyes closed for long stretches, being forced to listen with eyes closed or eyes open to one of his criminal defense lawyers on whom he has lavished money — money provided by his political contributors — listen to her repeatedly call him “the orange turd.” And Donald Trump is, of course, the most vain human being who has ever entered that courthouse. But his colossal vanity combined with his even more colossal stupidity leaves us unable to tell what he was experiencing. A normal person couldn’t be more humiliated. Donald Trump — was that the first time he’s heard himself referred to as “the orange turd”?

His lawyer was doing what he ordered her to do, which was keep Stormy Daniels on the witness stand as long as possible in the Trump belief that simply minutes on the witness stand count as somehow scoring points against Stormy Daniels. “The orange turd” landed an hour into a belabored cross-examination by Susan Necheles that was repetitive, tedious, and almost entirely irrelevant.

But this was just the beginning. He went into a play-by-play of the entire portion of the testimony, noting that the phrase “the orange turd” was entered into the public record by Trump’s own attorney and, according to O’Donnell, getting owned by Daniels, who “did not spend one minute in law school learning how to do that.”

Thank you for coming to Lawrence O’Donnell’s Turd Talk.
