Trump Tweets That MSNBC Anchor Brian Williams Is ‘Dumber Than Hell’ Twitter Claps Back

President Donald Trump launched a string of late-night attacks at MSNBC’ Brian Williams to Twitter on April 29, roasting the anchorman over his past apology for falsified coverage of the Iraq War. Trump said the longtime journalist “wouldn’t know the truth if it was nailed to his wooden forehead” before posting a video showing coverage of his 2015 suspension from NBC News. It’s unclear what exactly prompted the tweet storm aimed at Williams, but it could have to do with Williams’ opening statement on that night’s episode of The 11th Hour with Brian Williams. Williams began by counting down the days (188) until the 2020 general election, then lambasted the president for saying COVID-19 is “going away.”
