MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell said he needed to take a week off from his nightly show, saying he’s “exhausted” from covering the Trump administration.
“I’m exhausted at Day 52, and so I’m going to take next week off. And I’m telling you that now, because I know you don’t like it when I just drift away,” O’Donnell said.

“I’m just taking next week off, then I’m going to come back and go with you all the way to the 100 days,” he added, according to The Hill.
52 days into Trump’s second term, and O’Donnell is demoralized.

The Hill reports:
Maddow, who recently returned to a five-day-a-week hosting schedule to cover Trump’s first 100 days, said she was “very sad” O’Donnell was taking time off but indicated she understood where he was coming from.
O’Donnell, a frequent Trump critic, opened his show Thursday by suggesting the president is mentally unwell.
“And so America is, at this hour, completing the 52nd day of having a president of the United States whose brain does not work,” the host said. “Donald Trump’s brain is broken, badly damaged, as he exhibits every day.”
Yet, O’Donnell is the one who needs to take a week off from a television show.

From The U.S. Sun:
O’Donnell’s announcement sparked outrage on social media, with people accusing him of using his “privilege” to take a break over political fatigue.
“He’s exhausted from cognitive dissonance. He’s determined to cast DJT as a bad guy, but the facts don’t fit the narrative he’s committed to,” one user said.
“It feels so good to see these people going through the same hopelessness and despair we all felt for 4 years under Biden,” added another user.
“Take Maddow with you and hey – feel free to take an indefinite amount of time – no rush to return,” said a user.
Another person wrote, “It’s called vacation, he just had to politicize it, like they do with everything Trump.
“Perhaps it is just exhaustion from having to make up all the crap they come up with and do it with a straight face.”
