Could Donald Trump Pass a Sanity Test? | The Resistance with Keith Olbermann | GQ

[@wendyscott8425]

In a word, *no.* What is incredible is how many of my fellow citizens think he's just fine. What's up with _that?_

[@massimookissed1023]

Wendy Scott , it's symptomatic of a failed education system. One that Ditzy DeVos won't ever fix.

[@romulus_]

i'm amazed these people get by on a day to day level. i mean, i guess a lot of them don't, hence the desperation and despair leading to the election of trump.

[@davidlee2498]

It has to be drugs

[@wendyscott8425]

Massimo O'Kissed, well, perhaps, but I went through that "failed" education system myself, and I came out fairly normal, I think. ;)

[@wendyscott8425]

Oh really, Hoka One One? Like when you gave up on the phony accusations against Hillary Clinton over the terrorist attacks in Benghazi after the first hearing? Like you got over having a black president? Tell me another good one.

[@jltrem]

Trump's Lincoln comment undoubtedly means he just found out Lincoln was a Republican.

[@normantrombon]

jltrem ...true that.

[@ashroskell]

jltrem : Exactly. TRUMP DIDN'T KNOW

[@Sohbek]

Yup. Reminds me of the Frederick Douglass bit - he just heard about him and nobody told him he was a prominent figure in the latter half of the 19th century. Meaning, he died over a hundred years ago.

[@ashroskell]

Sohbek : Trump reminds me of a combination of Henry Ford and Lenin

[@Kudotsu]

...or that he just found out that Lincoln was a President.

[@mikel3287]

and THAT is why Section 4 of the 25th Amendment is the quickest way to get DJT out of the Oval Office and then KEEP him out!

[@WWZenaDo]

Yeah, but just try to get those corporate swindlers & sycophants he's placed in his cabinet to support anyone in enforcing that section.

[@mikel3287]

Doesn't require the any Cabinet member, just requires the eunuchs in the Congressional leadership to some how grow a set. The tough sell might be Pence, but hey, he's been treated like an unwanted stepchild, so maybe the idea of being leader of the Free World appeals to him. Just don't let him know as soon as there is another VP that actually KNOWS what he's doing is available.................BaBye Mike! "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

[@alexfrederick3540]

Being the leader of the free world is not only appealing to Pence, it has been his life long dream. My father was childhood friends with him and every since he was in elementary school he has wanted to be president.

[@normantrombon]

Cpt. Karnen ...So what the heck is he waiting for? Armageddon? Being such a bible beater he should be flaking out about the immediate possibilities of that taking place!

[@alexfrederick3540]

I guessing he is waiting for the perfect moment to take control. He only has one chance to do it right and if he fails he might lose his chance of becoming president forever.

[@danielsmith7254]

could he pass a high school civics exam? I doubt it.

[@We_Reddit]

Daniel Smith He probably thinks they're some sort of Honda crash test.

[@bra-balllegend3940]

@ Garden: Well, you'd expect a crash-test dummy like Trump to have exactly that sort of limited perspective...

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

Garden-Variety KZbin User Very good!!!

[@jamc666]

his daddy bought the school and the printing press for the certificates

[@We_Reddit]

@Bra-Ball Hey, don't insult crash test dummies! They may be similar in color, but that's where the similarities end!

[@SFolkes97]

The look Merkel was giving him - priceless!

[@demi191]

Steve Folkes That look could write a 10 page essay.

[@GreenDragon11]

Steve Folkes Yes indeedy you 2! What a blatant disregard for her as a human being!!

[@SFolkes97]

Come to think of it, that's probably what my expression looks like too - every time he opens his mouth.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Steve Folkes Still not as good as the look that Abe gave after that 23 second handshake...

[@batintheattic7293]

Both were good! How ever did we manage in the days before high definition freeze frame?! A whole shop section will be needed for the glossy coffee table books, "World leaders expressions in presence of 45th US president.".

[@davejohnston2700]

I think the clinical term is batshit crazy.

[@sillyone52062]

Dave Johnston That, or crazy as a shithouse rat!

[@daw162]

I don't think you've met many people who are actually clinically "crazy", as you call it.

[@georgelionon9050]

Ah come on, Trump isn't the problem. He is just mental. Like a drunk, a drunk is a drunk and you expect a drunk to behave like a drunk... the real problem are people that give him the car keys and encourage him to drive the heaviest truck on earth...

[@rovtova]

George Lionon : Best comment and description I've heard all year. Thanks for that. Super!!!

[@watchvidjedi]

without doubt the most accurate and funniest assessment of the situation I've seen so far. I echo Rov Tova - thanks for that! I might nick it in casual conversation! :)

[@ALSomthin]

George Lionon Yes its actually true America is the failure. Perhaps eventually Trump can blame it all on the people that voted for him and Im sure he will.

[@EviusPistachio]

Sad thing is we basically have to wait until he crashes into and kills a school bus full of white, wealthy, Christian school children before anyone will pull him out of the truck. Even then, he might find a way to throw the blame elsewhere. :[

[@ashroskell]

George Lionon : A very good point. And you can see why they are so reluctant to admit that he has been running over their policies and campaign pledges. They would have to admit culpability

[@raggedyanarchist]

I'm getting the impression you don't like Trump very much, Keith...

[@SanvelloSerapiega]

Ruby Doomsday But are you sure

[@h.plovecat4307]

Cap. Orange Soghda McGuffiepans We need more research here. we have to get a professional on the phone, this is far too yuge to let go.

[@nigeh5326]

Cap. Orange Soghda McGuffiepans yep u can bet she's bigley certain because u can tell she's like a smart person as Trump would say lol 😀

[@elizabethmartinez2048]

lol

[@dianeowen5258]

Ruby Doomsday - either do I-- what's to like?

[@suimeingwong2043]

Has anyone considered he may have on-set Alzheimer's disease but that his ego does not permit him to be wrong? Campaigning for and being president of the U.S.A. can be brutal. We see examples all the time of men seeming to age at twice the speed when they have become president and this man was in his late sixties when he put his hat in the ring.

[@lnsflare1]

Sui Meing Wong My personal theory is that the while Obama Wiretap Tweet Fiasco came about due to him sundowning and catching one of Conan O'Brien's skits about phone calls between Obama and Trump and determining that Obama had to have leaked them because he didn't remember doing so.

[@lewishamilton271]

Joe Biden?

[@suimeingwong2043]

Four year old comment mate.

[@clintronnow264]

I'm waiting for Trump to blame Mexico for the wall not being built, because they didn't give the U.S. the money to building the wall.

[@kermann-bv8um]

The President is not stable

[@bubbles3161]

Your right he doe's not live in a stable.

[@rfmlakvilla]

Eric; your not stable because you look like you live in a stable, I guess the stable isn't helping you for your still not stable. You need a psychiatrist. Maybe you should use Trumps Doctor. He looks normal, Not.

[@TheFreshman321]

But Trump told us that Fredrick Douglas was working for HUD and doing a great job 😜

[@oldsmobile6]

+TheFreshman321: ...and the karrot kake kommander also reminded us that....."we'll soon be hearing great things about him (FD)...more and more". Amarosa agreed. Uncle Ben just sat quietly and smiled. Herr Stephen "Müeller" cringed, & Sean Spicer smirked. And they all lived happily ever after. LOL.

[@Ocalif3]

Growing up on Long Island New York we always heard about Trump's dalliances and tabloid fodder - he was a joke then and he's a joke now!!!

[@martinoamello3017]

Last time I checked jokes were supposed to be funny, not detrimental to the health and safety of the entire world. Who knew?

[@Ocalif3]

Not for long: 45 is under investigation by no less than 3 intelligence committees! The House The Senate The FBI. All for Trump-Putin ties!!!

[@defundthepoliticians.1465]

He needs help.

[@stevecollins9198]

""If you have not seen this, please sit down. Surrender 8 seconds of your life that you'll never get back and pray there is a God to help us!" hahahahaha

[@stevecollins9198]

I don't!

[@toadjiang7626]

I seriously doubt Drumpf has ever passed any kind of test in his entire life.

[@drac32964]

"Toad", perhaps people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

[@tonymendoza5820]

If Trump supporters think he is a genius it tells a lot about them

[@tonymendoza5820]

I think everyone of trumps supporters are in denial

[@tonymendoza5820]

Darius Truxton hey, no comparison, Keith is a learned man not like your great white leader a mediocre reality host

[@tonymontana-wd9hv]

you are delusional and in denial, your beloved prez is a con man and ties to Russia, its just a matter of time before he is gone.

[@tonymendoza5820]

There is no arguing with you, there are solid facts that Russia meddle in the elections

[@tonymendoza5820]

I think you are a genius in disguise, go back to your trailer and think about what you said

[@utah133]

Open letter to Angela Merkel; We're so sorry! The guy is so embarrassing. We promise, we'll get a sane president asap.

[@martinoamello3017]

Don't count on it. Unfortunately we don't get to unring the bell.

[@Kudotsu]

Interesting, isn't it, that we are needing to express explanations and apologies for our President?

[@Kudotsu]

Kudotsu does care.

[@MrElionor]

*****​ Was that soldier he got killed in the botched Yemen raid a law biding citizen? But let's take your comment at face value should we wait until he does hurt a law biding citizen?

[@larryb9288]

Apologizing to the destroyer of the German people & culture?

[@mojomanx1]

You tell 'em Mr. Olbermann! It's good to hear a voice of sanity.

[@mojomanx1]

I would love to read a book by you...it all sounds so captivating.

[@mojomanx1]

Keep taking those med's my friend and it will help your mental health, lol

[@NMM2009]

As a psychologist I'm forbidden to make diagnosis at a distance. My recomendation is that the SENATE urgently requests a PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION.

[@grimzler]

I dont think any republican can pass the sanity test.

[@Beginstheman]

I openly question the sanity levels of all GOP presidents who came after Eisenhower.

[@lukaplaqia]

you think? wow! I didnt think trolls had he ability to do so.

[@jamc666]

the average republican couldnt decipher trumps 4th grade level speeches, that's why they thought he's a genius and thus won the election.

[@CxnstructGB]

Rza Bot I am a republican supporter, and I'll definitely confirm that I am most definitely smarter then you. I go too CalTech for computer engineering, where do you go? Stupid democrat

[@jamc666]

@ Felon ... the problem with stupid people, is that they don't know they are stupid ... how could they? right? Felon? ... you remind me of Trumps "i'm kinda smart guy" comment. LOL

[@50043211]

The looks my Chancellor gave your President speaks volumes. Remember, this was in public, in front of the international press and he managed to make her look at him with a huge WTF expression! Well done POTUS!

[@gdit1410]

Over the course of the campaign , I heard a number of Trump supporters remark that the guy would make a good president because he wasn't a politician . But , I guess , these are the same people that would have allowed him to remove their appendix because he wasn't a surgeon .

[@janetclarke2071]

BTW - anyone wonder WHY isn't now - or couldn't be IMMEDIATELY enacted - that all Presidents (and all future Presidential candidates) be required to undergo a full, impartial mental, neurological and physical check up at Walter Reed - with the results available to the voting public for their reference?

[@Kudotsu]

Because it would make replacing Obamacare seem as care feee and simple as ordering lunch at a drive through compared to how insanely the bipartisan houses would squabble, tantrum and battle each other over the design of such a mental screening test. Goodness! We'd end up needing to impeach the lot of them under military section 8 before they could even agree on just the name for the test.

[@lewishamilton271]

Yeah biden should go through these tests

[@jamesburgess2k]

I don't understand what's the purpose of this show: To convince Trump supporters that Trump is unqualified OR to let everyone else know that they aren't crazy, Trump is indeed totally unqualified.

[@Areanyusernamesleft]

James Burgess why not both simultaneously?

[@nocalsteve]

Trump supporters can't be convinced using rational arguments. At least, I know I'm not crazy.

[@bra-balllegend3940]

@Lagrange: Are you crazy too? You keep laughing out loud. Sure sign.

[@alpinebreed1774]

as was every other president totally qualified

[@madd0gsquid]

Hate to break this to all of you, but Olbermann won't convince ANYBODY because he's basically the Bill O'Reilly of the left. Here's an exercise in perspective: As a liberal, has O'Reilly ever swayed you on an issue? Let's expand that. What about Rove, Huckabee, Hannity, or some idiot on The Five? Not absolutely everything they say lacks substance. We Liberals are just as guilty for not listening to Republican stated facts.

[@goodluck2597]

DT is the worst thing to happen to the world in my lifetime

[@Derekivery]

Getting all 40 points on an insanity test, the only thing I think Trump could actual win at.

[@Erin.56]

Lol!

[@kellnola]

actually his comments about nuclear weapons and nuclear war have been about the most cringeworthy thing he's ever said.

[@Aritul]

Wow, I have yet to find a person who does sarcasm as well as Olbermann. I can't watch his videos without cracking up.

[@anitaclarke1304]

Question everything and Resist !

[@Erin.56]

Resist! Persist!!

[@thagrammarnazi]

"Could Donald Trump Pass A Sanity Test?" you're thinking about this wrong, the way to think of it is: If he passed one, it's a perfectly accurate test. If he failed one, it's biased and sad.

[@Erin.56]

Perfectly said! So true. The test would be wrong if he failed (according to him) and if he passed it was 100% right! He is a complete psycho... no tret needed

[@Erin.56]

What's so crazy about this idiot is he says one thing in the morning then by afternoon says the opposite then by evening denies he said either one!!

[@Erin.56]

No test needed

[@Erin.56]

Also so annoyingly he says offensive sexist comments about women then he turns around and says Nobody loves women more than i do.... Then he says he didn't make fun of a disabled person when everyone saw with their own eyes that he did just in fact obviously mock a disabled person on live TV ! So many examples of his idiocy and insanity..... he accuses others of that which he is guilty of...all the time.....he is batshit crazy....he must be impeached ASAP!

[@reptomicus]

I''m still not certain he can pass a Turing test much less a sanity test.

[@Nomindnotrouble]

#TheMostGloriousofDumpsterFires

[@Nomindnotrouble]

....yea.......yea.....can't even think of a response that isn't bleak.

[@mrknowall2849]

he passed the Hannity test so really that basically means you're insane

Thank you, Sir. That was rich.

[@delphi-moochymaker62]

Obviously Trump is one of the few that didn't know Lincoln was a Republican. He says it like he found out 10 minutes ago.

[@iamspotless5787]

Don't stop resisting, Keith!

[@YarrickAU]

You the man Keith.

[@heatherstahlnecker9270]

thanks for pepping us up and encouraging the resistance!

[@jerrywatson1958]

Spot on Keith! I will continue to resist! #Hillary2020 #imstillwithher

[@jerrywatson1958]

I guess you don't. But she still is the best choice all the way around for President. Not corrupt like what we have in WH now and under FBI investigation, plus the house intelligence committee. The list goes on. The Republican Party in collusion with Vladimir Putin pushed false news and lies about her and the Clinton Foundation to the point where the drugged public and those who didn't pay attention in school or in life. Would believe She was a cold blooded Killer. Now the truth is coming out that they were all lies just to get Putin's Puppet in office. Hillary would and will crack putin's nuts like a walnut with sanctions and support for the Ukrain. I am a patriot and a stanch anti communist. We have a traitor in office now that deserves the firing squad along with his administration. #Hillary2020

[@wardoc041]

Jerry Watson Agreed!

[@fearthemoo]

I love how the haters get here right away because they know it's the only way they will be seen. They know they are outnumbered once everyone else get on.

[@KatieNicolexx]

I wondered if Trump might be autistic, so I Googled Autism Symptoms: People may experience: Behavioral: inappropriate social interaction, poor eye contact, compulsive behavior, impulsivity, repetitive movements, self-harm, or persistent repetition of words or actions Developmental: learning disability or speech delay in a child Cognitive: intense interest in a limited number of things or problem paying attention Psychological: unaware of others' emotions or depression Also common: anxiety, change in voice, sensitivity to sound, or tic

He'd really fly off the railing if he could see how the majority of SANE democratic countries' journalists and many humans depict and think of him. It's negatively and with an enormous amount of incredulity. The questions of how and why just never stop. I keep hoping that this Trump thing is some kind of weird 'alternate reality'.....ugh....

[@cathypascale8187]

Such an embarrassment to our Nation. How can this go on!

[@torymountain]

Of all ppl, the asylum resident Olgerman should not be asking such a question. The irony.

[@AudiophileTubes]

This is NOT your grandfather's GOP these days! Most of them are nuts!

[@NothingMaster]

As much as any narcissistic, pathological liar, con artist could, I suppose!

[@djalixer]

And saying Lincoln is a Republican is disingenuous because the party was very different then. Most scholars would agree he would be a Democrat now.

[@jooled2u]

You only get better! That was hilarious/nauseating about Lincoln! And again thank you!

[@Astrobrant2]

Keith said that the people who voted for Trump, "either didn't notice that he was the craziest nominee of all time or chose to ignore it." I think at least half of those people voted for him _because_ of it. We know now that at least 40% of the American public is too malicious, too selfish, to socially immature, and too politically ignorant to vote responsibly. This marks the end of the democratic ideal. It's idiocracy, now. The dream of our founding fathers has died.

[@AddictToAthlete]

Thank you Keith!

[@paulcarpool2288]
