Lawrence: Trump says leakers ‘should be shot.’ That would include his own Defense Secretary.



MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell details how Donald Trump “wants firing squads to stop what in his demented mind is an epidemic” of leaks. “But it is an epidemic of something that has literally never happened in our history except when his own Secretary of Defense did it.”

  1. He is a leaker. Waving around Iranian war plans in a room filled with people without security clearances. Emailed a copy to a news reporter. This is a national security problem. Should he be executed? He seems to be condemning himself to death by firing squad. Get a reservation for mr Signalgate, another specifics leaker of Iran war plans on an unsecured channel

  2. So be read about this in the ‘fake’ news? Who knew he could read?

    This would be so important…if America actually had a ‘president’ and not a wannabe dik-tater!

  3. N we the taxpayers paid for the felon’s trip to Alaska!!!🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🫪😡🙁🙄😕😟😳‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

  4. I don't think that Epstein Trump knows what he's talking about, or even if he's talking. He's not right in the head to start with. He just rambles on like Muammar Gaddafi and he makes no sense. His lies are like the Flintstone kids and their families, 60 million strong and growing

  5. Someone surprised that Hegseth – as boss of the Pentagon – cannot keep a secret?! The ban of Canadian alkoholic beverages wouldn't help… Oh Donald, YOU now must shoot your own choice. (But you're used to do that…)
    PS: Forget about the Midterms. They never will take place because until then the USA will be a dictatorship!! Ever thought about this: Who is the worst enemy of the USA?! It is Donald J. Trump.

    I add now: I suspect that he has his private army too: The 1500 rioters of January 6th, 20021, are now – at least most of them – engaged in the ICE and trained for the fight in towns – as he suggested.

  6. In 2017, when the Russian Secretary of State and the Russian ambassador to the US were being entertained in the Oval Office, wasn't confidential information leaked to them? Sometime later, wasn't a Russian official, while in a televised meeting in Russia, have security officers enter the conference room, place a bag over his head and take him away, never to be seen again?

  7. America's march to victory? You mean the allies march to victory considering D Day consisted of mainly other countries ships & troops… sick of this misinformation that the US won the World War. They even charged the allies for support, Britain only finished paying back the charges 20 years ago.

  8. Dlaczegp Donald Trump zawarł umowę na dosparczanie ropy z Rosji ? Czy wy, Amerykamie popieracie inwestowanie waszych pieniędzy z waszych podatków na bomby dla Putina ?
    Na to właśnie Rosja przeznaczy wasze pieniądze, które dostanie od Donalda Trumpa za rosyjską ropę. Zastanówcie się na kogo głosujecie w wyborach.

  9. Isn't Trump and the republicans considered to be Prolife? Hunting down and ICE is making people disappear or shooting Americans on our streets 😢 starting an unnecessary war bombing Iran and killing their children and other people. Our soldiers have died because of this. I feel like I'm living inside a video game. Trump has to be removed immediately for the love of God!

  10. Leaking military plans is treason and military members could perish because of it.……leaking information about Child predators is solving a major crime by making perpetratiors face retribution.

    When it comes to capital punishment, Trump,is more concerned about having it apply to the latter than to the former. And will likely use it as a scare tactic to prevent those links.

  11. On a side note, can someone hook him up to a brain scan to review his brains current activity that shows the dead areas? Either affected by mini strokes or dementia or something else.

  12. Just checking in from the Netherlands—you certainly can’t say you have a boring president; the whole world sees this clown as an episode of *Dallas*, starring Donald (Larry) Hagman Trump.

  13. It's part and parcel of being a malignant, demented narcissist. Sadism and murder are offshoots of this behavior because it allows the actor to feel in total control, which they require more than anything else. Hence you get the atrocities we've been subjected to in the last ~2 years: the inhumane roundups, the animal enclosure detention centers, the deportations on the word of the Orange Madman only, the fishing boat attacks, the war crimes, the criminal activity, the list goes on. These are symptoms of a very diseased mind.
