Lawrence O'Donnell Takes Week Off, Citing Exhaustion Over Trump Coverage

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell announced he would take a week off from his show due to feeling exhausted after 52 days of covering President Trump's second term. During an exchange with Rachel Maddow, O’Donnell expressed his fatigue and humorously noted that he thought it was day 92 instead of day 52. Maddow, who is committed to covering the first 100 days of Trump's presidency, expressed understanding and concern for O'Donnell's well-being. O'Donnell, known for his critical stance on Trump, remarked on the president's mental state, describing it as 'broken' and 'badly damaged.' His decision for a break coincides with recent shake-ups at MSNBC, including the cancellation of Joy Reid's show, which Trump publicly celebrated. O'Donnell reassured viewers he would return after his break to continue coverage with Maddow.
