Contemporary off of cheering on Iran for a way they “humiliated” President Trump by making an attempt to kill American airmen, MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell kicked off Tuesday night time’s present by suggesting Adolf Hitler wasn’t as unhealthy a frontrunner as Trump. He went even additional and prompt that America dedicated suicide as a civilization when voters elected Trump a second time.
As O’Donnell was approaching the air, his first phrases have been a jab a trump and reward for Hitler. “’A complete civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler by no means mentioned that,” he declared for the person who needed to exterminate the Jews and wrote a complete e book about it.
In line with O’Donnell, no villain within the historical past of the world was as unhealthy as Trump. “No head of state within the historical past of the world ever mentioned that. Civilization needed to wait actually hundreds of years till right this moment, April seventh, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A complete civilization will die tonight,’” he asserted.
Including: “No merciless king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anyplace on this planet ever mentioned that, and even thought it was attainable.”
Since NewsBusters already established that O’Donnell both didn’t know historical past or was obfuscating it from his viewers, he may wish to chat with the Jews and Gypsies Hitler tried to eradicate, the Ukrainians who survived Joesph Stalin’s Holodomor, anybody residing by any of the continuing genocides in Africa, or anybody who survived any communist regime anyplace.
“And with that assertion, it couldn’t be extra tragically clear now that a complete civilization has already died,” O’Donnell sneered as he proceeded to rant about how American voters killed the American civilization.

O’Donnell’s disdain for the American voters who returned Trump to workplace was palpable. He primarily prompt that they had led America to committing suicide:
The entire civilization, starting with the mannequin of the British parliament resulting in the primary impartial American authorities fashioned beneath the Articles of Confederation, adopted by the Structure that wrote the presidency into existence, and almost 250 years of the American presidency.
All of that, that entire civilization forming the presidency, died with the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency a second time, proving that it wasn’t simply an electoral school accident, the primary time. The nation that claimed so self-righteously to be the conscience of the world, and generally in some methods got here very near reaching that best, elected a president who had been convicted of enterprise fraud and masking up funds to a porn star in a failed try and maintain her quiet about his sexual relationship together with her, whereas his third spouse was nonetheless nursing his youngest youngster. A person who was indicted and criminally charged with violations of the Espionage Act and unlawful possession of categorised paperwork. A person who was indicted for conspiracy towards the USA of America for making an attempt to overthrow a presidential election.
“When that man was elected president of the USA the second time…that is what the collapse of a civilization appears like,” he proclaimed.
Steeped in theatrics, and suggesting hyperbolic phrases have been better than literal genocidal motion, O’Donnell bloviated that, “the USA of America now should dwell with the everlasting stain on our historical past, that we’re the one nation on this planet who has produced a head of state, who mentioned, ‘a complete civilization will die tonight.’”
It’s price noting that he mentioned all this with the phrases “Trump retreats. Once more.” over his shoulder (pictured above), mocking the President for NOT killing a complete civilization that night time.

April 7, 2026
10:00:49 a.m. JapLAWRENCE O’DONNELL: ‘A complete civilization will die tonight.’ Hitler by no means mentioned that. No head of state within the historical past of the world ever mentioned that. Civilization needed to wait actually hundreds of years till right this moment, April seventh, 2026 at 8:06 A.M. for a head of state to say and threaten ‘A complete civilization will die tonight.’
No merciless king ever threatened that, no mass murdering tyrant anyplace on this planet ever mentioned that, and even thought it was attainable.
And so, the USA of America now should dwell with the everlasting stain on our historical past, that we’re the one nation on this planet who has produced a head of state, who mentioned, ‘a complete civilization will die tonight.’
And with that assertion, it couldn’t be extra tragically clear now that a complete civilization has already died. The entire civilization, starting with the mannequin of the British parliament resulting in the primary impartial American authorities fashioned beneath the Articles of Confederation, adopted by the Structure that wrote the presidency into existence, and almost 250 years of the American presidency.
All of that, that entire civilization forming the presidency, died with the elevation of Donald Trump to the presidency a second time, proving that it wasn’t simply an electoral school accident, the primary time. The nation that claimed so self-righteously to be the conscience of the world, and generally in some methods got here very near reaching that best, elected a president who had been convicted of enterprise fraud and masking up funds to a porn star in a failed try and maintain her quiet about his sexual relationship together with her, whereas his third spouse was nonetheless nursing his youngest youngster. A person who was indicted and criminally charged with violations of the Espionage Act and unlawful possession of categorised paperwork. A person who was indicted for conspiracy towards the USA of America for making an attempt to overthrow a presidential election.
When that man was elected president of the USA the second time, the very cloth of the civilization that knitted the Structure into a suitable type of authorities for 13 states, with various and generally conflicting pursuits, and delivered a presidency typically occupied by probably the most admired individual within the nation and all the time occupied by somebody who lived in awe of the civilization that produced the presidency, till Donald Trump. That is what the collapse of a civilization appears like.
