Lawrence: Donald Trump now has ‘constitutional dementia’ about Harvard & deporting American citizens

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes what Donald Trump’s failed takeover of Harvard and refusal to bring a mistakenly deported man home means for us when Trump says he and his lawyers “can put you in prison for the rest of your life, and once they get you there, there’s nothing that you or any lawyer or any judge, including the United States Supreme Court, can ever do to get you out of there.”

  1. Trump is a mass-killer. He is killing tens of thousands of people or more, by destroying USAID. Are American people going to let a killer be their president for more days to come?

  2. You want to have a real conversation about abuse of executive power? Cool. But don’t wrap it in Sotomayor’s robe and pretend your paranoid monologue is a Supreme Court ruling. Because what you’re doing isn’t reporting—it’s cosplay with cue cards.

  3. The U.S. government has the legal authority to deport non-citizens.
    That doesn’t mean it’s always morally right or justified—but it’s legal.

    The standard for deporting non-citizens is way lower than for citizens. There’s no constitutional right to remain in the U.S. without proper status.

  4. Joe W. Notes: When a Judge Says, "You SENT Him There – Now YOU Get Him BACK!" That is… Significant.
    But when it's said to the Orange Thug-Baby – Or his Representatives – it MAY Be IGNORED?!?
    NO.

    Bailiff – IMPEACH This Man!!!

  5. All deported men should be brought back with due process and have their day in court. A Washington man, Russian, and billionaire, buddy common denominators, can't sleep at night, and want the world pay for it. Bunch of money, several wives, hundreds of girlfriends, concubines, many children, women's godchildren, and want all l our money to pay for it/them.Hiding from hustled men/women in palace's, , Whitehouse, on clifts tops with lifetime government guards .❤❤😂😂😂🙏

  6. So Trump tells the world that he cannot bring back Mr. Garcia from El Salvador but, he had no trouble whatsoever in bringing the Tate brothers back?

  7. Trump is going by the Viktor Orban Playbook. 10 steps to take a Democracy to a Dictatorship. Taking over Universities is step 2. See Robert Reich article on the Viktor Orban Playbook. It's an eye-opener.

  8. I'm ASHAMED that Americans let Trump happen. Why? Because they REFUSED to vote for an able bodied, smart, empathetic, worker for the the people, named Harris. LOOK WHAT YOU STUCK USA WITH! A LITTLE ORANGE DICTATOR NAMED TRUMP. TYVM.

  9. TRUMP DOES NOT CARE WHAT THE PEOPLEOF MENBERS OF CONGRESS THINK ABOUT HIM. THE ONLY WAY TO STOPTRUMP IS IF HIS SECURITY ASSIGNED TO HIM TURN ON HIM AND PUT HIM IN CONFINEDMENT. HOW CAN RHE SECURITY PEOPLE LIVE WITH THEM SELVES?

  10. I love Lawrence O'Donell's passion, as much as his erudition. May he never be silenced by his interiors (who are legion in government these days).

  11. I love it, "constitutional dementia". This has nothing to do with the US Constitution, but rather chumps internal situation.
    Mental health etc. HA,HA. WHAT A Shitbird😂😂💩💩🤮🤮

  12. Is Mr. Garcia still alive? Or is he now one of the many unnamed bodies tossed in an unmarked grave?😢💀🪦

  13. How does a "Jewish" person in Jarrod Kush support a holocaust denier? Way to show support to Israel, am I right?

  14. No, Donald Trump-enabled by DOGE Hedge Fund Partner Elon Musk, is eyeing Harvard University's $50➕️ Billion dollar Endowment. Kudos to Harvard University legal counsel: Bill Myer, Julie Faber, and Javier Guzman. ⚖️
