Correct! He ran the US like one of his failed businesses. Nothing he did during his presidency contributed to the economy, but he sure took credit for it even though he inherited his economy.

I have said this many times: in a sane world, Lawrence Tribe would be celebrating 40 years on the SCOTUS. One of the best legal minds since Blackstone.
What else could you expect Trump to think about but defaulting? How many times have we seen Trump default on paying people who completed jobs for him, people who have said they would never work with him again. If the US defaults, people will never work with us again and our economy will go down the drain!
In New York, people learned to never work for him again after their first bad experience. His business model has always been to not pay the bill and outlast the vendor or contractor in court with his team of lawyers. The small businesses he hires end up with nothing or a small fraction of their bills. US banks stopped loaning him money long ago, once his dad could no longer bail him out out after every dumb business decision. Trump's attitude to loan repayment has always been to ignore the idea. Of course he thinks debt default is no biggie, he's been doing it for many years.

This town hall was good for Democrats. I'm guessing it was watched (at least in part) by Americans on ALL sides to the political spectrum. So everyone got to see what's happening in the country. Trump's performance doesn't change the votes of the MAGA faithful. But everyone else got to learn how dangerous the current frontrunner for the GOP presidential candidate really is. Hopefully this will wake up all those people who simply don't bother to get out and vote in elections. The threat is real! And if you sit out the Nov 2024 elections you could be supporting the wholesale destruction of the US Republic itself. And also, incidentally, likely trashing the economies of most of the rest of the world.

Thankyou Lawrence and Lawrence, it’s terribly stressful for All We American Citizens, and The World, to be threatened over our National Debt responsibilities, as if any one of us needed any more Stress piled on our Lives in Any form!! I figured President Biden has the Right, The Duty and The Power to follow our Constitution and just Pay Our Bills. It’s super and reassuring to hear you Validate that Truth Mr. Tribe, much Gratitude to you Sir.
My first response to the ever growing mountain of rhetoric, lies and plain lies is to say stop this ride, I want to get off, but instantly I think I can't, we can't, we'll most certainly loose what ever gains we've made to take our Democracy and control of our own lives. Straight up! It sickens me to imagine what my grandchildren would have to endure! I think we've been far too quiet for to long and look where we are.

I only looked at djt’s nonsense briefly, here on RUclips via MSNBC. Couldn’t stand listening to him so I stopped shortly after it began.

Excellent discussion, yet again Lawrence! I think Hakeem Jeffries has cornered the market with his succinct assessment here: "The Republican party under Donald Trump and Trumpism has three basic philosophical pillars: 1) Facts don't matter; 2) Hypocrisy is not a constraint to their behaviour; and 3) They actually believe that shamelessness is a superpower."

When I pay my bills, I contribute to the economy--to people's pay checks, to government programs that help those in need, to my own investment in savings by the government, to mortgage holders and their holding companies. How can paying our bills as a Country be construed to be increasing our debt? We are paying down our debt we meet our payments and do not default!
She did exactly what her new bosses at CNN asked her to do. You know what happened with Don Lemon a week ago, when he attempted to push back against the false statements of a guest.
Lawrence, the county i grew up in, was a time when every American, no matter their party, would fight to protect the rights of each other. No matter their religion. Sure we had work to do to make improvements and we still are. Back then our politicians no matter their disagreements respected the office they held. They respected the voters they servered. They respected the laws and decorum and dignity they project. We had scandals and protests but we made it through because of our Laws, Judges , and the Constitution. This is our legacy and our American ancestors legacy. Let's all fight for each other again.
Like someone said:"That was a Trump rally last night."He was cheered constantly and his MAGAs were overpowering what was being said.CNN should have had an audience that was not allowed to cheer of boo as far as that goes.Very unorganized on CNNs part.
I only watched excerpts of the town hall, but it looked like a large portion of the audience didn't clap or cheer for Trump. They just sat there with their hands in their laps while the MAGA nuts clapped.
@@jonstone9741 Yep.They were not only quiet,they were also intelligent enough to recognize lies.Only the MAGA fools are on board the lying Trump train.
That would have defeated their purpose. They brought TFG on just for ratings, and to steal the Ex-Fox viewers a new home. Chris Licht is MAGA, so that’s the narrative CNN is pushing now.
I'm a little confused because I've heard that The President can just Ignore Congress and order that Debt be paid because The Constitution dictates that We Must Pay America's Bills.
Im pretty sure if all these congress reps.decided to not pay their personal debts for money already spent on services, medical care, their homes children's education those owed that money would just accept it. The debt ceiling was likely a well intentioned idea, but not an enforceable one.
Many people I’ve spoken to are DONE with CNN period!! Where’s the journalism? Where were they calling him out on his bs? We are finished with CNN! They might start getting Fox viewers, but they’re losing their loyal base! Only watch MSNBC now ❤
Just to add, the dollar is the world standard when it comes to currencies. Should America default then the credibility of the dollar will suffer with terrible consequences for world trade generally. This is not just an American problem. It will affect us all.
@@dremac33 Maturity is a personality trait. Mar-a-Lago is a place. How does one relate to the other? That's like saying "tact over death Valley". It's meaningless. Lil fella. Stay in school.
Are you kidding ! ! ! ? Not only do those people not read, they also do not like to listen to anything that is more than a silly sound bite. Trying to explain the full ramifications of a default would be too much for them to first pay attention to the explanation, and second, them being able to digest and understand what they hear.
@@trevorhenriques7733 Most of all, they just don't care. When all the consequences of default started happening, they would blame Biden and the Democrats. And if Biden ends up doing what the irresponsible lunatics in the House want, the public will blame Biden for _those_ consequences. Win-win for the Republicans. They don't govern, they do politics.
The fact of the matter is this: Biden has dedicated his life to the service of this country, whereas trump has dedicated his entire life to the service of himself!
And Putin, don't forget Putin. Not Trump's entire life, but his entire political life has been dedicated to the totalitarians he adores.
So very well said and so very true.
Biden has dedicated his life to grifting.
Trump built a fortune in WORKING the real estate market. Biden got rich WORKING his connections, aka grifting.

I Agree -- Have A Loud Horn To Go Off When tells lies. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As to Trump's platform? Just play a tape recording of Trump's 'greatest' hits. Deflect, deny. Why televise live? He just says the same old things. His schtick never changes. Predictable stand up comedian. He has done nothing for the country except lose trillions of public dollars lie about facts (though truthful about his feelings) and divide people into camps and factions at each others throats. Nasty little man following in the footsteps of his fascist forebears.😮
TY Prof Tribe for giving us hope.
This town hall was good for Democrats. I'm guessing it was watched (at least in part) by Americans on ALL sides to the political spectrum.
So everyone got to see what's happening in the country. Trump's performance doesn't change the votes of the MAGA faithful. But everyone else got to learn how dangerous the current frontrunner for the GOP presidential candidate really is. Hopefully this will wake up all those people who simply don't bother to get out and vote in elections. The threat is real! And if you sit out the Nov 2024 elections you could be supporting the wholesale destruction of the US Republic itself. And also, incidentally, likely trashing the economies of most of the rest of the world.

Thankyou Lawrence and Lawrence, it’s terribly stressful for All We American Citizens, and The World, to be threatened over our National Debt responsibilities, as if any one of us needed any more Stress piled on our Lives in Any form!! I figured President Biden has the Right, The Duty and The Power to follow our Constitution and just Pay Our Bills. It’s super and reassuring to hear you Validate that Truth Mr. Tribe, much Gratitude to you Sir.
"Insane - it's not going to happen ... it can't happen." I look forward to the watching the Republicans whine when Biden DROPS THIS GAVEL!
My first response to the ever growing mountain of rhetoric, lies and plain lies is to say stop this ride, I want to get off, but instantly I think I can't, we can't, we'll most certainly loose what ever gains we've made to take our Democracy and control of our own lives. Straight up! It sickens me to imagine what my grandchildren would have to endure! I think we've been far too quiet for to long and look where we are.
I'm totally surprised that the GOP has not yet figured out MR Trump's going to take them down AGAIN. Ohh well. Sure win for the DEMS. Just my Opinion Thanks..Ed, As a GEN Z, we Fired MR Trump, why do you think we would hire him Back.🤔.
Lawrence, my Real News GURU💙👏🏽🙋🏽♀
I only looked at djt’s nonsense briefly, here on RUclips via MSNBC. Couldn’t stand listening to him so I stopped shortly after it began.
I will no longer watch CNN either on TV or on YT & have deleted their app. If they are going down that disgusting road that Fox did, they are destroying their own credibility.

Great show Lawrence, vote for Democrats to have a better life.🙏🇺🇸⚖️
How can so many people not see how bad trump is? Or Don't care. It just baffles me. Can't wait for him to be gone.
CNN should be deeply ashamed for holding that disgusting town hall!
This was part of thier plan to be Trump's new propaganda network, CNN has fallen to temptation like fox did, CNN is just after the ratings that trump will bring them, but trump is also bringing BILLION DOLLAR lawsuits!!! Trump will bankrupt CNN, and they deserve it. 🇺🇲
Tre45on for prison 2023
Love this guy ❤ Lawrence is the best!
Right, Let's do what the guy who wanted to nuke a hurricane says because he's so smart. Hahaha.
And with his magic sharpie, he changed the hurricane course. 🙄
Wow! You called it: " they believe shamelessness is a super- power!!!! Brilliant- but how do we put a leash on it?
Excellent discussion, yet again Lawrence!
I think Hakeem Jeffries has cornered the market with his succinct assessment here:
"The Republican party under Donald Trump and Trumpism has three basic philosophical pillars:
1) Facts don't matter;
2) Hypocrisy is not a constraint to their behaviour;
and
3) They actually believe that shamelessness is a superpower."
CNN should have put Lawrence O'Donnell on the town hall.
Of course trump wants us to default. He doesn't pay his bills and suffers no consequences
Disgusting this was even shown. Even more disturbing the audiences response and the GOP response. The DOJ and the courts must work more quickly.

"It may be that Trump is on the side of autocracy, propaganda, tyranny..."
Was that ever in doubt?
❤ my 2 favorite peeps named Lawrence 🌞😁
We all acknowledge USA is dealing with a cult. Perhaps USA should adopt cult dealing tactic rather than the accepted 'norm' political tactic.
When I pay my bills, I contribute to the economy--to people's pay checks, to government programs that help those in need, to my own investment in savings by the government, to mortgage holders and their holding companies.
How can paying our bills as a Country be construed to be increasing our debt? We are paying down our debt we meet our payments and do not default!
Rep Jeffries is right! Speak the truth!
That CNN interviewer was horrible! Never put a WEAK person in front of this man!
She did exactly what her new bosses at CNN asked her to do. You know what happened with Don Lemon a week ago, when he attempted to push back against the false statements of a guest.
Excellent reporting Lawrence
Facts don’t matter, hypocrisy is fine, and shamelessness is a super power…. LOL (I paraphrased)
Truth
Lawrence, the county i grew up in, was a time when every American, no matter their party, would fight to protect the rights of each other. No matter their religion. Sure we had work to do to make improvements and we still are. Back then our politicians no matter their disagreements respected the office they held. They respected the voters they servered. They respected the laws and decorum and dignity they project. We had scandals and protests but we made it through because of our Laws, Judges , and the Constitution. This is our legacy and our American ancestors legacy. Let's all fight for each other again.
Like someone said:"That was a Trump rally last night."He was cheered constantly and his MAGAs were overpowering what was being said.CNN should have had an audience that was not allowed to cheer of boo as far as that goes.Very unorganized on CNNs part.
I only watched excerpts of the town hall, but it looked like a large portion of the audience didn't clap or cheer for Trump. They just sat there with their hands in their laps while the MAGA nuts clapped.
@@jonstone9741 Yep.They were not only quiet,they were also intelligent enough to recognize lies.Only the MAGA fools are on board the lying Trump train.
That would have defeated their purpose. They brought TFG on just for ratings, and to steal the Ex-Fox viewers a new home. Chris Licht is MAGA, so that’s the narrative CNN is pushing now.
Our SCOTUS is out of control, I would not rule out any possibilities...
TRAMP IS JUST A "LET THEM EAT CAKE, PRESIDENT
May as well just put Putin in place and forget about this President / democracy idea.
seems like a lot of americans want to go for the dumbed down version of putin
Professor Tribe is a national treasure!
I'm a little confused because I've heard that The President can just Ignore Congress and order that Debt be paid because The Constitution dictates that We Must Pay America's Bills.
He's gotta get the money from somewhere. I don't think his friends in Ukraine, China and Romania are going to cover the trillions he foolishly spent
That’s Tribe is advocating, and Biden is certainly considering it if he can’t find a few Republicans with some intelligence and courage
The audience was like a Jerry springer show
Im pretty sure if all these congress reps.decided to not pay their personal debts for money already spent on services, medical care, their homes children's education those owed that money would just accept it.
The debt ceiling was likely a well intentioned idea, but not an enforceable one.
Many people I’ve spoken to are DONE with CNN period!! Where’s the journalism? Where were they calling him out on his bs? We are finished with CNN! They might start getting Fox viewers, but they’re losing their loyal base! Only watch MSNBC now ❤
Just to add, the dollar is the world standard when it comes to currencies. Should America default then the credibility of the dollar will suffer with terrible consequences for world trade generally. This is not just an American problem. It will affect us all.
The dollar already took a hit under Trump's presidency, if I recall correctly. Now he's nobody and he will still manage to crash it entirely.
and could lead to a stonger China if its currency becomes the benchmark
Dont the Republicans realize that a default will hurt their bank accounts as well? Or is there something I'm missing?
Sorry for your loss 🙏🙏
Maturity over Mar-a-lago
Real melanin.. not mango spray
What does that even mean?
@@prometheus5700 research lil fella. Research...
@@dremac33 Maturity is a personality trait. Mar-a-Lago is a place. How does one relate to the other? That's like saying "tact over death Valley". It's meaningless. Lil fella. Stay in school.
@@prometheus5700 lol once again fella. Research the meaning...🤣
Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell and Hakeem Jeffries ❤❤❤
Hakim Jefferies needs to have a run for the Presidency on his plan.
tell the story every day, all day!
It would be the end of the US dollar as the reverb currency. Someone explain to his supporters what that means.
Are you kidding ! ! ! ?
Not only do those people not read, they also do not like to listen to anything that is more than a silly sound bite. Trying to explain the full ramifications of a default would be too much for them to first pay attention to the explanation, and second, them being able to digest and understand what they hear.
@@trevorhenriques7733 Most of all, they just don't care. When all the consequences of default started happening, they would blame Biden and the Democrats. And if Biden ends up doing what the irresponsible lunatics in the House want, the public will blame Biden for _those_ consequences. Win-win for the Republicans. They don't govern, they do politics.
Boykott CNN
NEVER EVER REPUBLICAN!!!
Vote BLUE STRAIGHT DOWN THE BALLOT.
CNN. Gave Trump a huge endorsement last night.
That is a total lie. Your Orange god hung himself with the rope that was provided.
A shameful demonstration on CNN!
