Lawrence: New York's stupidest rich people clapped after Trump said 'child care is child care' - The Last Word - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump spoke at the Economic Club of New York where, as MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell points out, the most disturbing sound in that room was the reaction to Donald Trump’s speech from “New York’s stupidest rich people.” Lawrence says that they were “clapping for the man who they watched try to overthrow the results of a presidential election.” - Aired on 09/05/2024.

[Deuxcents]

1. The best segment tonight on his show, I think

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Agree! I watched it live and he showed the entire segment

I frankly don't think I could sit through the entire word salad again, but it sure made Lawrence's point!

3. the guy was spouting pure gibberish, like he was stroking out nt

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Agreed! Yikes! He was just talking for the sake of talking, had nothing to do with the question asked

Except for sticking the words "child care" in his nonsensical diatribe when he thought of it.

4. Stupid rich people clapping..he said that a couple of times and it's exactly how I felt watching it

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I couldn't figure out what they were clapping for - like they would for a small child's performance

Or are they really that clueless?? He answered nothing, just spouted nonsense.

6. Trained seals gotta' clap! NM

7. Wonder if the folks who own or are in charge of the NYT were in the audience applauding?

[tulipsandroses]

8. And he's right. They are a big part of the problem. They want their tax cuts and de-regulation to make more money

They don't mind voting for this half literate ignorant bigoted asshole.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. That has to be the only reason they encourage his nonsense

[Irish_Dem]

11. As long as the rich get richer, they don't care what happens to the rest of us.

[MagaSmash]

12. The Dumbing Down of America ENDS in 60 Days

And people will no longer applaud NONSENSE and think it's Profound

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Oh, please, let all this be over for good!

[Uncle Joe]

14. *rump's answer reminds me of the line from an old Wendy's commercial,

"parts is parts."

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Joe!

And did all those people supposedly listening to TFG's nonsense have the slightest idea what he was saying?? All he does is babble incoherently and people still clap for him!

[Uncle Joe]

16. I believe they probably tuned him out after "tax cuts for the wealthy" that's all they're concerned with.

At that point, they were just going thru the motions with their applause.
