Former President Trump made a negative comment about MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, whom he saw at a New York City courthouse during his first criminal trial, and said he looks very bad.
“I saw Lawrence O’Donnell, of MSDNC, at the Courthouse today. I haven’t seen him in years,” Trump wrote late Tuesday on his Truth Social website. “He looks very bad, a real loser.”
In a separate post, the former president made fun of “NBC FAKE NEWS,” which he called “one of the worst in the business!!!”
The former president has consistently criticized NBC and its progressive sister network for months, causing a stir earlier this year when he suggested the network be investigated by the federal government for what he called “treason.”
Trump is currently on trial in New York and facing 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. Daniels took the witness stand Tuesday, providing risque testimony about her alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
The trial has become a major media event, with leading pundits and anchors at MSNBC and CNN sitting in the courtroom gallery watching the proceedings.
