Now it's time for the last word with the great Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Rachel. I have a thought exercise for you. Perhaps I should wait until the 101st day for this. But let's think about it because we might not come up with the answer right away.

Jonathan Alter wrote a wonderful book about Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first hundred days, titled

The Defining Moment, FDR's Hundred Days, and the Triumph of Hope.

Got any ideas about a book title for the first hundred days of this one?

The triumph of oops, maybe? I don't know. I mean, I continue to, I maintain my thesis at least,

and I could be proven wrong because 100 days isn't up yet, and something crazy could happen

between now and then. But I continue to believe that the most important thing

we have learned about Donald Trump being back in power thus far in these first hundred days,

is that contrary to all the punditry that said this time he's not going to be so bumbling,

this time he's A, out for revenge, and B, he's going to be really good at stuff, I think the most important lesson

we've learned here is that he's terrible and everything he's trying to do. Regardless whether you

like what he's trying to do or you don't like what he's trying to do, it's just been one error

after error after error and all the stuff that he's had to reverse and take back and pretend

he didn't do, it's an astonishing amount of just failure on his own

terms. And so I'd get oops in the title somewhere. I just don't know exactly how the rest of

the phrase would go. You know, during the Trump era, beginning fairly early in it, I learned to give up predicting, and especially when I very

confidently said when he went up to 12% in the polls in the Republican primary, I can remember

very confidently saying, well, it's not going to get any higher than that. So I have given

up predicting.

But and I've also turned away from segments that are oriented toward predicting things that haven't happened since there's an awful lot to deal with right in front of us here.

He really has made predicting impossible as Wall Street found out the hard way. But here's a secret.
