The Secret Trick to Decoding Everything Donald Trump Says | The Closer with Keith Olbermann | GQ
Featuring: Brooks Brothers

[@johnjay2717]

As the campaign proceeded, Trump became more aggressive and his attacks became pathetic and grotesque. The irony is that he thought he was showing more strength... while exposing his depravity and his own inner world. It unfolded and showed how that world is ugly, full of fear, insecure, racist, immature, overly sexist, but chaotic and weak. Few folks were impressed by the noise and confidence Trump exhibited. He lacked substance, thoughtfulness, wisdom, maturity, and positive vision. The emperor has revealed himself, just like a stripper... and has no more clothes as the election day nearing. Decent folks everywhere had enough of what they've seen. It was his show and it's going to be a downfall of his own making! His act is coming to an end.

[@studdot2952]

john jay well said.

[@Drace90]

Trump gets more and more unstable every day. Wouldn't be surprised if he'll be completely loosing it on the debate. Boy, am i glad that all of this is almost over and that Trump will soon be nothing more than an embarrassing name.

[@rohampasha9667]

still beats a Clinton administration

[@mad-ny3cr]

Roham Pasha u need help stay out of politics

[@rohampasha9667]

I don't care who wins tbh. 20 years of lousy corrupt regimes in Washington has lead America into perpetual war and the largest debt bubbles in history which can't be undone at the drop of hat. get out of this country while you still can before sh@* hits the fan.

[@mad-ny3cr]

Roham Pasha this is the United States of America not Syria you're perfectly safe here okay . You just have a fear of vaginas you know like the Taliban I recommend you go join them please do America favor

[@gordondang7064]

Drace90 project veritas heard of it? well the media isn't covering it cause hilary is blackmailing em

[@sTreek90]

Has anyone else noticed that Trumpheads never refute to facts. Their only retorts are: 1. But what about Hillary 2. Propaganda 3. But what about Hillary

[@M500VYN]

Anthony remember they mention Hillary 😂😂😂😂😂

[@victoriasmith4208]

and then again, you blame hillary, of course she is a very bad candidate, but trump is no better

[@gregnewell4727]

+Anthony Trumps worshipers act like Hillary promised them a rose garden. Then say we should all die for different opinion. I looked for that in the constitution and could not find it.

[@TheDuckClock]

Technically Trumpheads usually say "What about Hilary" (one L) Seriously during the last two debates "Hilary" was a trending topic on both accounts. Really says a lot about them.

[@taticatnineland]

Both candidates are ridiculous, and both drag out that tired old tu quoque at the first opportunity. That's what's making the whole thing so funny.

[@sycoticdeninard7480]

Haha, I love your voice impression of Trump.

[@gregnewell4727]

lol I agree its the same in my mind.

[@selder_7]

Sycotic Deninard SAD!

[@madamefluffy4788]

Oh, Olbermann! It's so cute that you think Trump would actually supply his own urine sample; let alone take part in a drug test, himself. You should know how it works by now - when Trump demands something needs to be done (supplying birth records, passports, student IDs, drug tests, etc), other people need to do it; but he doesn't have to, because he's exempt.

[@gregnewell4727]

word

[@madamefluffy4788]

***** What about them?

[@JeoshuaCollins]

It would be really funny if Hillary called him on that bluff, and had a urine test ready to go, while Trump was still deflecting and sniffling.

[@jennybugsification13]

Trumps not on drugs- Hes powered by pigeon blood & the tears of abused beauty pageant contestants...

[@gregnewell4727]

Jeoshua Collins We should send an E Mail to Her to set that Trap lol. Trump would have an excuse, The test is rigged don't believe the test watch those test riggers.

[@EricLing64]

Remember what Trump's doctor said, his results came back POSITIVE!

[@emmavenable6077]

Lol. Bingo !

[@MaxUltimata]

Which was crossed out with a gold Sharpie (which doesn't cover black), then edited with, "AMAZING", crossed out and replaced with "TREMENDIS" [sic], then crossed out and replaced with "HELTHIEST HUMIN BING ON DA PLANIT EVAR" [sic]. That was eventually crossed out, too, once the Anathema realized that "da planit" is not the biggest thing in the universe.

[@TheRussianZombie]

Eric Ling remember Hillary got doctors fired because they said Hillary was sick

[@davemathewsrocks]

LOL - yeah so true

[@winstonanderson6401]

AND he was the fittest person ever, to run for PRESIDENT of the GREATEST country on earth, USA. TRUMP can't walk a mile, he can't DO 6-push ups, he CAN'T even walk fast. GIVE him a FITNESS test against OBAMA and BUSH right now, to PROVE the point.

[@dennissantos9904]

As a psychotherapist, I have thought the same thing about Trump's issue with projection, Listen carefully about Trump says about other people and you will learn a lot about him,

[@dixielatino]

spot on!

[@TCLucas40]

Dennis Santos thank you Dennis

[@Robertodette]

as an ordinary man with a brain, I noticed that months ago

[@TCLucas40]

Robertodette I'm sure everyone did. But there is so much material on Trump it's difficult to pick a starting point.

[@TCLucas40]

Robertodette I'm sure everyone did. But there is so much material on Trump it's difficult to pick a starting point.

[@caliscribe]

The pee cup at the end was perfect.

[@Knight-Bishop]

A drug test, eh? *sniff, sniff*

[@neuralmute]

Oh, I was just waiting for that one to come up!

[@slewdem2879]

lmao

[@cheydinal5401]

Who got that "My struggle" joke? :D

[@maggiee639]

that was actually gold

[@MrEatonbeaver]

You can't casually take in Keith's editorials, because they are always 'thinkers'. Love the intellectual voracity. Same of Bill Maher's editorials. Not ironically, but both co-matriculated at Cornell and took Carl Sagan's class.

[@taticatnineland]

I think everyone with an IQ over room temperature got that one; the problem is that it was the only humorous high point. 😕 Everything else was mildly lame and/or forced, and I've really enjoyed laughing at this entire election.

[@DeVman70100]

I did ..... dammed Scary mein Kampf

[@Robertodette]

no trump supporter did

[@MotherOfFerrets75]

Once again Keith you deliver on "Drumpf" in a most beautiful fashion and I am "lmao" at my desk! Well said Sir! :)

[@caliluv4244]

OMG!! Hilarious!! Once again, thank you Keith.

[@gruntqueen]

Trump has used the "I know you are but what am I?" - known as the Pee Wee counterattack -- response so often that even I noticed it. That's the new drinking game.

[@JeoshuaCollins]

Says who?

[@gruntqueen]

M Iker -- You are so right! I'm working on it right now in preparation for the debate...

[@pcc1471]

Try taking a drink every time Trump sniffs. On a related note, I think that sniff is Trump's "tell".

[@MyRedPony1]

Good point, it could very well be!

[@JeoshuaCollins]

80+ times last debate. Don't play that drinking game. You will DIE.

[@autohmae]

If it wasn't such a sad situation, you would die laughing watching these debates ! :-)

[@whyputaname]

How many drug addicts admit to doing drugs to begin with..

[@JeoshuaCollins]

whyputaname Usually none. They just deflect and try to blame other peo.... heeeey!

[@frededison]

The best tweet was Trump accusing Hillary of having close ties to Putin. The Trump projection machine was working overtime on that one.

[@JeoshuaCollins]

I wonder how many people got the Mein Kampf joke.

[@s871-c1q]

I think most people got it...It's subtly delivered but not exactly an obscure reference lol.

[@JeoshuaCollins]

oatmeal & creamy A lot of his followers seem to be channeling the Brownshirts, too. It's legitimately frightening. Also his whole campaign and message bears striking resemblance to the Golden Dawn in Greece.

[@wendyscott8425]

I didn't until someone explained it below. Thanks, Jeoshua, for pointing it out. German is not my strong suit.

[@s871-c1q]

Jeoshua Collins the message does but the Golden Dawn experience will come in the next American fascist, one with ability.

[@neuralmute]

Oh, it came through, loud and clear! But it seems that not many Americans take much interest in history, especially history that has occurred outside their precious country. Growing up in England, and living the last 20 years in Canada, with a strong interest in history tends to give one a very keen, if disquieting, perspective on current American events.

[@TCLucas40]

Trump has absolutely NO clue. He says he will be tough on Putin, China yet he can't handle debate moderators.

[@Annie59G]

Or Iranians on small boats circling a destroyer and making signs.

[@dixielatino]

+VermonterKen ... That's because in Russia they execute you no trial .

[@dixielatino]

***** Then what happen to the fellow that challenged Putin , was he not DOA ?

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

This is why when I heard Trump wanted Hillary to take a drug test, my first response was that she should absolutely agree to drug tests before the debate for both. Guaranteed he's on something.

[@taminah2006]

Dustin Rodriguez I felt the same way when he said Hillary was only interested in black people for the their votes. I thought immediately that he was reflecting.

[@johnjay2717]

Dustin Rodriguez: Trump was taking a preventive strike... And we can get a clue that he himself may be taking something for him to behave irrational, overly aggressive, and exhibiting the need for him to have psychiatric help. No candidate running for the highest office has ever done this... but a huge ego, and arrogance, lacking of self control and behave properly, is like a time bomb close to explosion! Sad. For our system to let such a sick man to be out there even on stage exposing himself! The whole world is watching this tv reality showman for his being a totally unfit, and dangerous candidate, allowed even to run for president of USA. What a failure for us as a superpower nation! Our credibility is at stake here.

[@Lisa-ds5xf]

Dustin Rodriguez I know! Clinton should call his bluff...

[@seeamerica1]

snifle snifle snifle

[@whyputaname]

How do we know if switches it out with someone else's test.. Knowing him, he would.. He's such a lying sack of chit...

[@blt4life112]

The projection is clear when it comes to his nicknames for the other candidates.

[@losttribe3001]

We did a drinking game for the first debate. Every time Trump said, "wrong", we took a drink. Final count; 3 dead and 5 hospitalized because of alcoholic poisoning.

[@saveourrivers]

Thanks for making me laugh, Menhir.

[@alstoutamire1224]

Just saw your post. LOL so hard, my stomach ached. Thanks for the happy feeling.

[@losttribe3001]

Menhir Dolmen Its a dangerous game!!

[@sin90950]

oh if trump go into the debate with Keith he will cry his eyes out

[@LarryConley1943]

Superb and spot on, thank you, Keith!

[@SonakshiNathak]

Give this man an award!!!

[@matthewblum8687]

The phenomenon Keith refers to as 'projection' is more akin to the common sociopathic trait called mirroring.

[@neuralmute]

So you're suggesting that Donald Trump might be a sociopath? ;D

[@msnorringtonsims6536]

who's suggesting?

[@tooitchy]

suggesting? It's all but proven, he's the clearest example of a sociopathic narcissist there is, having known sociopathic narcissists very well over many years in my personal life, there is no doubt that Trump is one of them. He's got some other psychological issues as well, but those are the dominant traits to his psychology.

[@msnorringtonsims6536]

#neuralmute wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry you had to go through something like that

[@neuralmute]

***** Well, it certainly trained me on who *not* to trust now as an adult, and left me with a layer of cynical psychological self-defense that most people don't have. Seriously, thanks for caring. Unfortunately, it also left me suspicious of people who seem to care, far too often. It's something that I'm working on. I'm just so very thankful that I'm not a narcissist/psychopath myself.

[@Prouderlib]

The only thing I do not like about this guy is the length between vids. You're amazing Mr Olbermann!!

[@85_Disco_Coles]

The cup! Not every time, but now and again, please throw in one of those clever little edits. I would love to 'watch this space' become a little more creative. The cup. Bravo Keith. Bravo.

[@leviathan4857]

I noticed that too, so I was intrigued when he accused Clinton of performance-enhancing drugs.

[@tyjohn2378]

After all Hilary is better choice for USA Vote for Hilary 2016

[@manthasagittarius1]

Re-titling "The Art of the Deal" to "My Struggle." (= "Mein Kampf.") You have to stop making me spit coffee, man.

[@dsob11]

Keith should've started his KZbin channel right after he left msnbc.

[@delray]

I'm willing to bet 99 percent of Trump supporters won't get the "my struggle" gag!

[@davefreier7738]

I don't know - I imagine there are a good number who share the same "hero".

[@sleesullivan2796]

dave freier Ja, practice your German. Or maybe your Russian, da?

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

His campaign strategy is "I'm rubber, you're glue."

[@AlexVandergriff]

I love how happy Keith OIbermann looks when reporting on this!

[@cheapnchic3390]

He's like the big bad wolf.. "I'm gonna huff - and puff - and SNIFF SNIFF" 😂😂😂

[@pjsister]

Keith, I love you, man. Your informed, sardonic jabs at Trump are my happy place.

[@pjsister]

I think like many in this country, Keith will vote as what he thinks is the best option considering all circumstances.

[@ClarinetgirlMelissa]

I'm not going to watch the debate. I'm already voting for Clinton, would prefer Bernie. Voting Monday the first day of early voting in Texas.

[@elaineferry429]

Take a drink every time he finishes a sentence tonight! You will be sober. Don't take a drink every time he says "its going to be beautiful, the best" you'll be drunk. Keith Olbermann is the best!

[@michaelramon2411]

Let's be honest. Trump's not on debate-enhancing drugs. He just eats three packs of Smarties before every debate.

[@Nolina99]

The 'My Struggle' joke really got me 😂😂

[@jiggzstarr]

They're all good, but this was one of the better ones

[@kwetzler624]

Well, he does call an awful lot of people "loser".

[@tysonperks9534]

this video made my morning great lol

[@debralewis1675]

Keith O, you are at your very very best. hilarity at its best you are just absolutely the best at delivering and explaining, factually, and satirically information. love ya, Man!!!

[@lesprice8761]

Love these Keith Olbermann videos. What am i going to do on November 9th?!

[@seeamerica1]

Tonight will be like we are having 2 Halloweens this year.

[@veronicakashaka3299]

I agree completely that Trump projects himself and his inability to use discretion with anything he is does.

[@blaked7532]

And a drinking game to give you liver failure is the tremendous drinking game. Every time trump says tremendous, take a shot.

[@jeffralston1]

Bonus points for using the word, "mountebank."

[@rosemcguinn5301]

"My Struggle" in German is "Mein Kampf." Wow. No punches pulled in this show.

[@LittleRedRideMeGood69]

Rose McGuinn That was the subtle joke. Good job.

[@rosemcguinn5301]

Tuco Salamanca Thanks. I studied German for 2 years and am a bit of a history buff. ;)

[@LittleRedRideMeGood69]

Rose McGuinn I feel bad that sarcasm doesn't translate very well unless you make it glaringly obvious. You're still a good person. 😃

[@rosemcguinn5301]

Tuco Salamanca What's that supposed to mean?

[@LittleRedRideMeGood69]

Rose McGuinn The 'My Struggle' was a funny, dry joke. Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.'

[@TheProph7]

You seem like you're having WAYYYY too much fun with this whole election, Keith. Love it!

[@merlindamarquez7577]

Ask him, "How is she rigging the election"? He might let it spill as to how HE plans to rig the election in 2024!

[@visoredgruntR34]

Please what ever you do tonight DO NOT repeat DO NOT have your drinking games based on Trump Sniffs. Alcohol poisoning is a thing

[@HagenvonEitzen]

That drinking game will be fun! Sometimes he is soo close to completing a sentence

[@rayndawg7181]

Keith, I fully agree with your comments here, and those of Bruce Springfield about him being a narcissist . Symptoms of a narcissist are: Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it. Exaggerating your achievements and talents. Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people. Requiring constant admiration. Having a sense of entitlement. Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations. Taking advantage of others to get what you want. Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Being envious of others and believing others envy you. Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner. Need, other than his tendency to also exhibit sociopathic traits, need one say more, I think not.

[@Helmuesi911]

I love the impressions.... "SAD" Lmfao

[@annemander78]

Love this guy (LMAO!) We miss you, Keith.

[@CheeKiatTeo]

It's like him saying he should do drug screening before the debate. He's definately on cocaine. The sniffing is a tell. Edit: oh i see you have mentioned that as your last point. LOL.

[@tedehrhard9228]

"Dandelion"---LOL

[@22lolo]

I missed you

[@Barynnthepally]

I love Keith's Trump impression lmao

[@jaanushiiemae2164]

''Art of the Deal'' republished as ''Mein Kampf'' that is fracking funny.

[@scrotiemcb5858]

In this video Mr. Olbermann spends six minutes on the classic "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense.

[@nina1608]

Olberman is obviously in pain over the election. But he is also having a great deal of fun. I admire that.

[@marcduperron6062]

What I like about American politics is that it's not politics, it's entertainment! I look forward for the third and final debate tonight.

[@nikkiroy1527]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL DAN BROWN NEEDS TO WRITE A BOOK ''THE DECODING OF TRUMP''. I LOVE YOU KEITH.

[@nikkibeacth]

He said ppl can't figure him out, the main reason being that a very low percentage of the population are Psychiatrists.

[@jayneubauer8477]

[@JazGalaxy]

SO thankful for this web series.

[@witchyvicar]

Yeah, that was my first thought on the drug test, too: You first, Mr. Sniffles!

Snifffff....

[@imisstoronto3121]

C'mon Keith, we want more !!

[@nikkiroy1527]

Thank you for returning

[@damonoleary9416]

Boi he lost this debate

[@canyonjames8519]

his Trump impression is off but still really funny!

[@whosiskid]

Keith, please don't stop posting just because the election ends. Your videos are the best thing on KZbin. Except for the occasional videos about cute animals, like where a puppy and a giraffe are best friends. But yours are the best things involving speech. Seriously, keep posting after Nov. 8, or, as Donald Trump would have it, Nov. 28.

[@Beautyizme]

No blood test, no urine test... hair follicle test only.

[@waggishsagacity7947]

Okay, but only of real hair, not a fake toupee, right?

[@willhiggins9563]

[@neuralmute]

[@jimhudsonvo]

BRAVO KO!!!!!

[@clydesight]

Lol "Eleventy--Billiion" tweets! Ha Ha Ha Ha

[@DanielField2023]

I Wish Keith Come back to TV I missed this guy

[@seanrector5264]

im starting to think that Donald doesnt have the correct definitions of some words: respect, temperament, racist these are just a few.

[@teenygozer]

So glad to see you taking advantage of the internet to gift us with your insight. We missed you, KO!

[@mattduffin5200]

In Indiana we call it "the smeller's the feller'....

[@YoutuberGrudge]

Made me laugh really hard when he announced he wanted to do a drug test to explain Hillary's strange behavior? There was only one sniffing jack-o-lantern on stage who was asked on social media if he did coke before the debate. Twice. He wants a drug test? Yes, let's do a full screening, head to toe.

[@LittleRedRideMeGood69]

I just want to grab him by the tie, pour him one of those drinks he was talking about and tell him to relax. Then I'll tell him what space to watch. 😜

[@mautao675]

remember to vote, you must still vote, it is important, do not sluff this duty off.

[@ggali09]

You're just going through his tweets and accusing him of his opponents own crimes and tactics. This is shameful. When did GQ become buzzfeed??

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

omg "Dandelion"

[@andrewstewart2540]

I feel like he dropped the ball, a bit, not going with Dondelion.

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

Drew Stewart Well he did call him Dondie earlier

[@andrewstewart2540]

Haha, that's true.

[@IvoryTaurean]

Brilliantly Done! Kudos to you Keith

[@DrBenson21]

Keith needs his own TV show again. Countdown was awesome

[@seanpatrick1243]

Did anyone else notice the photos of the Trump followers on his Tweets? I did not check them all out, but that last one was pretty interesting if you stop the video.

[@carver3419]

"My Struggle" as a new title for his book? Hmmmm. ...sneaky. I wonder what the title would be in the German edition ....

[@dash16dn]

I have a suspicion that the ratio of red to blue in the background behind Keith in all these videos is going to represent the electoral map come November 9th. Talk about predicting the future!

[@therabbit9830]

keith you're soooo funny, the voice is killing me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love your commentary 😛😙

[@JD-mk6zc]

Thank goodness Keith can give us levity when the great pumpkin who really is the scary pumpkin is on the loose. Like in the Charlie Brown tale of the great pumpkin and all the great things he could do but really only scared the crap out of us.
