MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell reveals he’s taking a week off — citing exhaustion from Trump’s presidency

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell revealed on Wednesday night that he was exhausted by covering President Donald Trump and that he was taking a week off from hosting his show, “The Last Word,” lamenting that it was only day 52 of Trump’s second term.

“I know you’ve pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency. I hope you noticed that I did not make that same pledge,” O’Donnell told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Maddow, who usually hosts her show once a week on the network, recently committed to hosting her program daily for the duration of Trump’s first 100 days in office.

“This is day 52. I thought it was day 92. It turns out it’s day 52, Rachel, and I’m exhausted at day 52, and so I’m going to take next week off. And I’m telling you that now because I know you don’t like it when I just drift away. I’m just taking next week off, then I can come back and go with you all the way to the hundred days,” O’Donnell continued.

“We all tell each other, you have to take care of yourself. You got to pace yourself. You got to be in this for the long haul. So I can’t hold it against you, but I’m very sad,” Maddow responded.

Maddow jokingly asked, “Can I go with you?”

“No, no, no. You said 100 days, you said 100 days. You can’t. One hundred days,” O’Donnell said.

After his announcement and back-and-forth with Maddow, O’Donnell turned to Trump.

I saw signs of the commie cracking years ago. Maybe that Madcow guy can fill in.

Hopefully that was The Last Word we hear from that twit. Exhaustion is another word for “my writers can’t think of any new ways to denigrate President Trump.”

“Time off” is just a way of saying that out patient talk therapy has failed and that his meds have to be upped.

I was going to write President Trump and ask for a week off...I'm exhausted, too. Seriously...He has so many smart, productive people assisting him...Just an amazing cabinet and support group...and Elon and his crew...Just amazing...

Our forefathers would be proud.

Losing so much must be exhausting.

It takes more energy to support a lie than to just let the truth rest there.

Yeah pretty exhausting seeing a president actually work and be constructive for a change.

Had to fire the writers after the USAID money was cut off from PMSNBC.

He’s a weak person if he allows a politician to get so under his skin that he needs a vacation! It’s really pathetic that a grown man is not only doing this, but that he needs to announce to the world that he’s too exhausted to continue because of Trump. What a drama queen! Think of all of the people in this country who do truly difficult jobs like nurses, cops, manual laborers and compare them to this pampered, spoiled yenta. Hopefully he never comes back.

Although there are many unbelievably hateful liberal so-called TV pundits, O’Donnell is number one when it comes to spewing hate and venom.

I have no idea how anyone has the stomach to watch him.

Keep slapping up those pics of the US Border after Trump took over.

People are starting to see how Biden and the media lied when they said the President can’t shut the border to keep out illegals.

There is no perfect. But this is very close.

MSM are exposed as activist frauds for the leftists.

Yeah. This line sums him up.

O’Donnell also said Biden had the “largest list of domestic achievements” that he could think of.
