Lawrence: Trump, Who Failed to Buy Stormy Daniels’ Silence, Now Seeks Iran Deal He Ripped Up

Apr 17, 2026 | Pope Leo issued a warning against those "who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economical, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth." MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell explains why most of the world interpreted that as a description of Donald Trump, the irreligious man in the White House.

How could American voters have been so stupid and naïve as to not only elect, but also re-elect, Trump into office? How could they not have had the foresight to see and to imagine the misery that man would bring them if voted into office? One look at Trump should have been enough to put any switched on American off voting for him. After all, Trump’s character flaws are there, written all over him, for all the world to see. — © Mark Alexander
