One MSNBC host called out
Donald Trump for making numerous incorrect remarks in recent days.
During the Wednesday, June 18, broadcast of
The Last Word,
Lawrence O'Donnell emphasized how all Americans must stay vigilant about the president's alleged mental decline, just as Republicans did when former commander-in-chief
Joe Biden was in office.

At the start of the show, Lawrence O'Donnell asked his viewers, "If Donald Trump gets dementia, how will we know?"
"Donald Trump's mental decline, which is more and more obvious, started from such a low level of mental processing power that it's hard to track his decline," the host said. "It's from low to lower."
The first example O'Donnell gave was when the right-wing leader publicly asked himself whether or not he could appoint himself the Chair of the Federal Reserve in Jerome Powell's place. "It may be tiresome to hear, but we must not grow weary of making the point that no other president was ever capable of saying anything as s***** or as indicative of dementia as that," the reporter noted.
"We must not grow weary of reminding ourselves what the White House press corps would have done if Joe Biden ever said anything like that and how big the headlines would be," he emphasized about the businessman's remark. "If we grow weary of making the point of how singularly s*****, possibly clinically demented, Donald Trump's statements are, then we will become part of the normalization process of those statements."

Lawrence O'Donnell also highlighted a recent Oval Office media gathering where Donald Trump incorrectly claimed the Declaration of Independence was written during the American Civil War.
"We've always known that Donald Trump could not possibly pass a high school AP History course. We've always known that Donald Trump couldn't pass any test in any high school history course," the television personality said. "But now we know that he couldn't possibly have passed a history test in my third grade at Saint Brendan's Elementary School in Boston."

Earlier this month, Donald Trump ordered an investigation into Joe Biden's mental decline while serving as president of the United States and his alleged use of an "autopen" to sign important documents.
"This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history," The Apprentice alum penned in the order. "The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts."
In response, the Democratic politician claimed he "made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations" while in office. "Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false," Biden explained in a statement. "This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations."
