Lawrence O’Donnell criticizes Donald Trump’s bravery

MSNBC commentator Lawrence O’Donnell criticized Donald Trump, labeling him a “deeply cowardly man” following an assassination attempt. O’Donnell argued that Trump’s actions regarding his safety undermine his public persona of toughness.

During his program, O’Donnell suggested that Trump’s reliance on security and his travel on Air Force One contrast with the “movie tough guy heroism” he attempts to project. The commentator claimed that Trump seeks to be judged on personal bravery but fails to live up to that image in real-world situations.
