"Of course Donald Trump feels like a warrior. Donald Trump who evaded military service during the Vietnam War because he claimed his foot hurt — the same foot on which he spent the rest of his life playing endless miles of golf and never limping. Donald Trump — who only had to choose which ridiculous hat to wear when he went to the Situation Room to be a spectator during his war in Iran — now feels like a warrior," Lawrence O'Donnell snarked.

"The war that Donald Trump experienced in that air-conditioned room where he didn't even have to loosen his necktie makes Donald Trump feel like a warrior. The biggest crybaby in the history of American politics now feels like a warrior," Lawrence O'Donnell continued.

Lawrence O'Donnell compared Donald Trump to another U.S. president, sarcastically asking, "Remember when World War II ended with Japan's surrender and Harry Truman said, 'Can it start again? I guess someday it can. It could maybe start soon.' No, President Harry Truman didn't say that — because every president other than Donald Trump has known when a war has ended and when a war has just taken a pause."

Lawrence O'Donnell branded Donald Trump the most "trusting and gullible American president to ever deal with the Iranian dictatorship" for believing the conflict between Iran and Israel ended when he called for a ceasefire. "Think of how breathtakingly ignorant you have to be about both Iran and Israel to say that they're both exhausted and they just won't fight anymore because they're both tired," he said.

"Four years from now, [Donald Trump] won't be president, and maybe the next president or the president after that or the president after that will have to deal with Iran again on nuclear weapons," Lawrence O'Donnell said. "[That] is exactly why President [Barack] Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry successfully negotiated a deal with Iran in which Iran pledged in writing to never develop nuclear weapons and to allow the United States to monitor what they were doing. … That sort of thing involves paperwork, which also involves reading, which Donald Trump is incapable of doing."
