An MSNBC host walked back a statement hed made Thursday when he called Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a liar after Trump called his bluff and challenged him to a wager.
Not only did Lawrence ODonnell take back his previous statement, he also said he liked the real estate mogul.
The brouhaha began Thursday when ODonnell appeared on MSNBCs Morning Joe and said The Donald had inflated his income figures in his Federal Election Commission financial statement.
Trump immediately bet a year of his salary against a year of ODonnells that he was right. That evening on his own MSNBC program, ODonnell crumbled.
When Trump called back on Fridays Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough played a clip of ODonnells apology back for him.

Bravo Trump!
O'Donnell really likes Trump.
So the media really does like Trump. They are just burnishing his credentials.
Nelson: Ha Ha
LMAO
I have a theory, the media are just like the wicked witch of the north’s imperial guard.
The guard was enslaved. When the witch died, they were liberated and overjoyed.
Sure the media are frauds, doing Obama’s bidding. Some choose to play the game and get paid, but if the oppession was lifted, if they were allowed to be real journolists, I bet they would be much happier.
O’Donnell finally and accurately self identifies as “ stupid “
Union members are the same. My wife is paying $1200/year to be in the WEA/EEA/NEA. She’d leave in a hot second if it wasn’t illegal to do so in the People’s Soviet of Washington.
Sure the media are frauds, doing Obamas bidding. Some choose to play the game and get paid, but if the oppression was lifted, if they were allowed to be real journalists, I bet they would be much happier.
I don’t know, have you seen the across the board vicious attacks on Major Garrett for trying to be a real journalist?
Sickening.
I disagree. I think most journalists today are raving Leftists. Once Obama goes away, they will NOT suddenly become Republicans. If a Conservative is in office, they will savage him. If a Leftist is in office, they will behave like fawning acolytes.
Trump is making them eat their words. Pretty soon they will think twice before taking him on.
Larry’s a good catholic boy.
Lawrence O’Donnell might as well face it, he is never going to run with the big dogs.
Not a snowball’s change in Hell.
The Media are committed third- and fourth-generation Leftists, doing their bit as new Socialist Men/Wymyn to assist in The Glorious Revolution.
The fact that several “news” groups are on the White Hut payroll is a twofer.
There will never be non-Leftist media in this nation within our lifetimes. Not by civil means, anyway...
It’s clear that much of Trump’s appeal is that he’s got some balls. He makes his points, damn the torpedoes and doesn’t back down when the media and establishment types come down on him full force. To the contrary, he comes back at them with both barrels. Real Americans respect this. We are so tired of seeing conservatives (or, rather, establishment RINOS) back down at the slightest criticism and go slinking away apologizing for pointing out the obvious. I don’t agree with Trump on everything, I don’t really trust him, I know he’s only in it for himself but it’s damn refreshing to see someone get in there and act like a man in facing down the establishment.
LoL O’Donnell got caught the wimp. Back to the nut house for you Larry.
Is there a link which actually works for this? The video at the top is no bueno for me.
Assume that you're correct. Isn't Trump a bit like the airline pilot who only cares about his own life, but you're sure glad he does because he'll land the plane safely.
If Trump's only in it for brand enhancement, he succeeds the most the more positive things he does for the US. So he brings us along for the ride.
FWIW, I suspect that isn't the case. When he first got in, it might have been a gimmick. But then the media and his former allies went full assault, against Trump, his businesses, coordinated lies about what he said, and even punishing the women who worked so hard to get to Miss USA. They made it personal, and Trump either had to fight back or take a life of being ridiculed and diminished by his detractors.
So, now, if my thinking is valid, it's very real. Trump would like to win it and destroy anyone and everyone who is unfair or insulting to him. And, if Trump becomes President, he'll want to be an outrageously excellent one.
