MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday tore into Donald Trump, using a photo from the president’s Oval Office meeting last week with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

“There is no more vivid image of the decline and fall of Donald Trump than the image that was created on Friday. With Donald Trump slumped in the Oval Office, at the desk in defeat, offering a political surrender to the man who stood beside him in the Elon Musk position,” O’Donnell said.

Mamdani “took over that room as no one before him has ever taken over that room with Donald Trump in it,” he continued, noting that Trump went “from calling the man a ‘communist lunatic’ to gladhanding him publicly,” just as he does with his “beloved dictators.”

O’Donnell argued that Trump was essentially “offering an unconditional surrender,” because amid tanking poll numbers, he is “losing so badly now that he desperately has to do something and he has no idea what to do.”

Watch O’Donnell’s full analysis here:

Trump performed a “complete reversal, a complete surrender” after his anti-Mamdani rhetoric, promising on Friday “to try to help the new mayor as much as he possibly could with federal funds.”

It’s the “kind of reversal a politician offers only in defeat, only in surrender,” O’Donnell said.

“Trump said all of that not because he liked the guy, not because he was charmed by him, not because he was charmed by his smile,” he added. “Donald Trump said all that because Donald Trump is losing — and Donald Trump knows it. Donald Trump said that because he is losing support all over the country.”
