O'Donnell Critiques Trump's 'Counterfeit Air Force One,' Citing Teddy Roosevelt's Values

President Donald Trump recently redecorated a Boeing jet that was gifted to him by the Qatari Emir. This move has sparked significant backlash from various media outlets.

During a segment on MS NOW’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O'Donnell voiced his disapproval, labeling the aircraft a 'counterfeit Air Force One.' He argued that such changes deviate from the traditional values associated with the presidential aircraft.

O'Donnell further emphasized his point by referencing the principles of former President Teddy Roosevelt, suggesting that Roosevelt would be 'horrified' by the current state of affairs.
