MSNBC’s always tolerant Lawrence O’Donnell trotted out the tired liberal narrative that all Republicans are idiots on the issues and governance, Thursday afternoon. Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan met Thursday to discuss how the Republican Party can unify and move forward following a contentious primary. O’Donnell claim to know exactly what happened during the meeting. “That's what the meeting was about, Paul Ryan taking the imbecile candidate to school, the school of governing,” he proclaimed.
O’Donnell felt the need to give Trump a civics lesson:
“Trump is on his way to learning that the president does not have the power to raise tariffs on things from Mexico. Only Paul Ryan does. Only the House of Representatives and the senate can do that. The president does not have the power to raise taxes or change any tax. Only the House of Representatives does, and that's the constitution that says that.”
