The Truth Of Trump’s “I Alone Can Fix It” Canard | The Resistance with Keith Olbermann | GQ

[@majesticmysteries]

America is now a low budget reality TV show with no ratings.

[@majesticmysteries]

In the producers pockets but not on screen.

[@fidorover]

"I alone can -fix it- run America into the ground." -- _Donald J. Trump_

[@TheFriendlyTroll]

The Republicans in Congress are doing a wonderful job of helping with that.

[@RustinChole]

fidorover I always love finding your comments. Always good for a chuckle🙏

[@ArBob-xr6mw]

If I alone can fix it meant, if he takes a cyanide capsule he can fix it, then HE CAN FIX IT

[@jjmarz1001]

fidorover, George W. can and did do it too.

[@stormwatcher59]

TheFriendlyTroll, I was just going to point that out - you beat me to it!

[@jimmyguitar2933]

Thank you Keith for my daily dose of righteous rage!

[@7mike2300]

the amount of love trumpies have for Trump is cult like.

[@ArBob-xr6mw]

OH YEAH ! Kool Aid time.

[@redpillbigchristhenson5002]

Remy Leblu i am loving the kool aid.so glad i didn't drink the kool aid hilliary was offering.i am more relaxed trump is president.

[@7mike2300]

Chris Henson what's the name of your cult ?

[@dekatexas]

oh yea and no one acted like that with Obama. give me a break.

[@ellaineanderson6787]

hpso - It's not love or devotion. It's a psychological obsession of the Jim Jones type.

[@henrymonroy9533]

Olbermann for 2020! You have my vote Mr. Olbermann!

[@marcuswatt9727]

I saw Kellyann say ACA premiums went up 80% in PA this year. Mine went up 12%, and my subsidy went up more than my premium, lowering my cost, obviously. How do we deal with such liars?

[@tangobango9653]

Why are we all so surprised that a BIRD Brain Luvs to TWEET?

[@glazierblue573]

I think its just because people are so surprised that they are getting proved right that he really is that stupid.... people just don't know how to react? Its just so jaw dropping.

[@davidlockwood4545]

I think that part of the cause of that is the myth "he made billions in business,,,he must know what he's doing." I will agree that many of the corporations in this country are run by very bright dedicated people. The myth is that all of them are bright and dedicated. Some are just smarmy grafters that moved too fast to be blamed for their incompetence.

[@glazierblue573]

+David Lockwood. Yes David I am sure he knows what he is doing. We would all be rich if we didn't pay tax... Or some how con people into paying for his big ideas. Con-men always know what there doing. If he was so rightous, be should pay for most, not all but most of the wall. It's not like he can't afford it. And that's not even the tip of it any more, he treating the white house like the biggest sales pitch, all your going into his and his family pocket. Look who is in his cabinet for heaven sake!

[@glazierblue573]

Wendy Scott9 Completely agree hun. The mind does truly boggle. A bankrupt, corrupt, racist, sexist, egocentric sales man. And this is the man who's going to heal the world and bring peace?? Yeah right. We are getting attacked by terrorist's! :-( while the US is getting threats of war by North Korea. Hate crimes prompted only by skin colour and religion is going through the roof.... A health care plan that is likely to double the death rates and Pollution will sky rocket! While he plays golf! Oooor trying to threaten some teenager about her kitty punching web page. His biggest slogan been "Everybody should just love me just because...." Good to know we are all in great hands! Arsenic anyone? Sorry just a bit depressed.

[@larryb9288]

Funny - I think you've just insulted well over 100,000,000 Americans. Good job.

[@trenchmccoat273]

Congratulations on your 50th episode of "The Resistance" Olbermann.

[@TRIGAROLA]

Trench McCoat but it's kinda like "grats on losing 500lbs". Fact remains it had to be done.

[@tomryner5830]

Freggin Terrifying!!! Trump and his supporters make me fear for humanity.

[@hcivokiz]

Laughing Tree Yup, destroying USA, as planned!

[@ChristianHendersonX1]

Keith Olbermann for President 2020!!!

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Why not? He's a smart guy unlike Trump... Honestly though... At this point... Even inanimate object would make a better president. Like a chair... Or a empty soda can.

[@ChristianHendersonX1]

hopefully...I almost feel sorry for him...almost...the man's a true embarrassment.

[@geraldgrenier8132]

While Olberman would be a better president then Pres. Trump but that only because of 2 reasons, 1) He would be more interest in being a public servant if put in that rule, rather to make the public serve him like Trump. 2) He willing to listen to people know know that their talking about and make informed decisions However this is a incredible low bar, he has no experience in any form of consensus building, a skill for the job. Though he experance enough about investigating politics to at least not be blind to this fact.

[@ChristianHendersonX1]

I agree, none hav ea real background in Politics but Olbermann has brains and morals.

[@damonwalter8708]

Chris Henderson, oh great, a paranoid, hypocritical, bigot for president. We already have one.

[@JeffGessas]

People already think that Obamacare and the ACA are different things. ACA has a higher approval rating than Obamacare.

[@emilycrawlle1371]

Jeff Gessas halfwit it the same thing read and you might learn they are both the same

[@leinadhtims]

Emily Crawlle I'm just gonna let you take a moment to reread his comment before you look like an idiot lol

[@DD-d6d3]

Emily Crawlle you're not too bright.

[@lumen8341]

wow. rude AND dense

[@kumarcollins585]

Dan Smith...too late

[@mkultra8640]

What's really scarry is that there are MILLIONS of people like the woman in this story, and if they ever wake up it will be way to late.

[@HereForTheComments]

Most pundits would say civilians are off limits. "She's just misinformed, she's sad about her son, why don't youse lay off the poor civilians?" Not Keith. Because it's necessary to tell idiots when they're being idiots. Especially now. Especially when we see the results of their idiocy.

[@flyingstud]

"Oh, we love the uneducated!"

[@truthgiant7801]

Bob I think you and I are the only ones that caught that quote and the funny thing is the crowd went wild after he said it...IDIOTS.

[@dumpthechump1769]

Because they follow along like cult members. I heard him say that. One more thing I could not believe!

[@stevenvillarreal8220]

100% of trump supporters are uneducated imbeciles

[@bledsoetx]

I disagree . . . I know several very educated Trump supporters. Let's just call a spade a spade . . . 100% of Trump supporters are STUPID. Don't be ashamed to say it. Embrace it. Realize and admit that about 40% of the US general public is simply stupid.

[@tinkerwest]

@steven villareal As opposed to the 100% anti-Trump "educated" imbeciles...Can you see the oxymoron you present?...

[@ThoughTMusic]

Congrats on your 50th episode Keith! Happy for you.

[@susanreynolds5624]

Thank you Keith Olbermann . RESIST!

[@1960DML]

I have a friend who needed a new LIVER or he would die. 3 years ago he did in fact get a new liver... PAID FOR THROUGH THE ACA because he is POOR. He voted for Trump, and i will never speak to him again.

[@imisstoronto3121]

Why on earth would he vote against his own self interest? I hope his body doesn't reject the liver, because he ain't gonna get more medical help with Trump in charge.

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

Dianne Lucchetti Wow. Poignant story. I swear some people wouldn't vote their interests if their life depended on it. Literally.

[@jesussson3467]

ive learned the hard way that thinking logically does not apply to most people especially when insecurity and irrational fear gets involved

[@rouge1ful]

Dianne Lucchetti unfortunately what happened with your friend is not uncommon a lot of people, especially those who live in red States who rely on the ACA the most voted for Trump even though he said in his campaign over and over again that he was going to get rid of it.

[@dude2345672]

+Laughing Tree pity is a word but _pitty_ is not.

[@huei-jiuanchen-jaros3223]

Thank you for being the voice for us!

[@alej15pr]

The saddest part of this is that a retired school teacher was uneducated enough to fall for Joffrey Trump's lies... that speaks volumes about our education system.

[@imisstoronto3121]

his name is Donald, or Donny or Tinyhands Trump. Where did you get 'Joffrey"???

[@DJHise]

While Trump is currently spearheading the current movement to gut American education, the conservatives of the last decade have contributed a lot to that cause. Probably because they know that education and scientific literacy, inversely correlates with conservatism.

[@DJHise]

+Hoka One One, Don't be stupid. I have my critiques and criticisms of every president including democratic ones. That is irrelevant to discussing the current president who has zero virtues as a human being... or the severe lack of education statistically associated with supporting him.

[@hcivokiz]

Hoka One One Bozo, does it have gropers face on it?

[@usernamehyt]

isn't that what hitler said to germany .......oh wait, even hitler is not that egotistic to his people

[@royms2000]

I'm sick of people comparing Trump to Hitler. For one thing, Hitler was an *enemy* of a Russian dictatorship!

[@dudebladeX]

He's pro-himself.

[@SauceyNoodle]

royms2000 Yeah but Trump is stupid Hitler

[@modeldaughters]

Keep em coming Keith, necessary commentary

[@-HRH]

The only videos I thumb up even before watching. One of the few lucid voices in an age of cacophony and obfuscation.

[@ronaldk.wileyjr.5476]

I ,SERIOUSLY, was just having this conversation. Trump supporters, that I've spoken with, believe him no matter what. When I point it out to them, they bring up Hilary & what she was accused of doing. So frustrating trying to have a serious conversation with someone like that.

[@ashroskell]

Education is the only solution. Even the Chinese are gradually shifting to the centre as their prosperity grows. This is because they have spent a fortune on it

[@novak-wq9dw]

I'm just glad Trump has stood up to those "FAT CATS" at Meals on Wheels. (sarcasm)

[@stefanhai349]

Thank you Mr Olbermann, my neurons are so very grateful to you. You see clear. Resist. Peace.

[@robertquinn8210]

Anyone notice the anti-Trump comments vastly outnumber the pro-Trump comments? Remember that in NOV18 and VOTE!

[@badmojo420]

This is Keith Olbermann, did you really expect a large amount of Trump supporters? That's like going to a Alex Jones video and observing all the pro-Trump comments. A lot of people can't stand to watch the other sides propaganda. I support Trump, and I watch every Olbermann video and I usually make multiple comments. But I rarely find anyone willing to debate the topics or counter my critiques. I think a large part of the problem is that the default setting is 'Top Comments' so if people don't change that they will literally never see my comments. The up-vote system almost makes posting pro Trump comments on Olbermann videos pointless.

[@toddtaliaferro7876]

badmojo420 ~ Would it help if I told you you're an idiot?

[@badmojo420]

Todd Taliaferro Why is that? Because I don't take Olbermanns opinion as fact?

[@frankieg2475]

Keep uncovering this stuff. I was in a cult, but when I was in the cult I did not realize that I was in a cult. Politicians can do this because people still have bigotry, misogyny, and other hateful things hiding inside of them. Divisive rhetoric should not make us mistreat our own citizens. Every few years its the same thing. Unethetical.

[@tangobango9653]

Now, now Keith Ms. McComic is a Trump supporter so she's just not too bright. You have to excuse her idiocy! McComic? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[@CButtonshaw]

He ALONE can fix it eh??? HOW!? He doesn't even understand words

[@RustinChole]

Wow! That was really good man! On point, and no one is talking about this aspect. This swing towards anti intellectualism. Thank you.

[@modeldaughters]

Patrick Chole You are so right. I've been trying to warn people for years now dangerous the dumbing down of America is. That in tandem with a number of other factors we've allowed or encouraged lead to this high susceptibility to cult following mentality. I've never witnessed such widespread intellectual breakdown. Europe seems to be getting swallowed whole by it as well.

[@lotusladylotus6159]

Thank you so much for your continued posts, Keith. Relatedly, although I’ve made this point on one other thread, I think it’s worth repeating here: Many people are debating whether Trump is ‘mentally ill,’ or if his conduct is somehow ‘strategic,’ as if those were mutually exclusive possibilities. It is crucial to understand that Trump's delusional assertions, pathological lying and unbalanced and reckless behavior are entirely consistent within the framework of Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder; thus, whilst it appears to be (and is) ‘irrational,’ his behavior is also 'strategic' in that it conforms precisely with the self-protecting and self-promoting tactics consistently and predictably employed by malignant narcissists - and he’s gone through the entire checklist - to: (1) 'scramble the minds' of and warp the perceptions of their victims and thereby acquire and maintain a kind of con-man's control, while (2) deliberately undermining, abusing and bullying his critics, detractors and anyone else who might question or challenge his self-serving, kleptocratic, reality-divorced and self-aggrandizing world view and perception of himself (as special, all-knowing, entitled and god-like strong man). Any threat to or breach of a MN's alternative reality constitutes an unacceptable and rage-inducing 'narcissistic injury' -- we've seen this most often in his impulsively hostile tweets and attacks -- and what's particularly worrisome is that such a 'narcissistic injury' can and often does provoke a MN to ‘irrational’ (but justifiable and aptly vengeful in their mind) destructive acts, and even violence. It’s important to understand that: (1) 'narcissism' is not the same as clinical 'narcissistic personality disorder;' (2) that like other conditions the disorder occurs across a spectrum of severity; (3) that malignant narcissistic personality disorder (MNPD) is at the far and more pathological end of that spectrum; (4) that MNPD not a mental illness in the sense that most lay people understand and have being using that term -- rather, it is one of the most malignant, dangerous and destructive of the personality disorders, second only to that with which it is often co-morbid, namely sociopathy (now known as anti-social personality disorder). What you must understand and accept is that MN's have no desire to change, they cannot be rationalized with, they cannot be 'managed', they cannot be clinically treated, and they only get worse with age (because they progressively become more practiced and proficient manipulators while becoming more rigid in and protective of their increasingly twisted sense of self and others). In short, it is incredibly dangerous to have someone with MNPD in such a position of privilege and power, as has been repeatedly proven by past and more current geopolitical history. If only one or two people have a better appreciation of what and who they are dealing with in this regard, and the legitimate but often insidious dangers the situation poses, that would be a worthwhile start (and maybe they will enlighten another person, and they another, and so on.) I don’t usually comment online, but I felt compelled do so in this instance not only because (accurate) information is power, but also because -- to use a medical analogy -- merely writing off anyone with MNPD (including Trump) as either a ‘nut job’ or ‘an ignorant douche bag’ as I see that many have, would be akin to a doctor dismissively treating a patient who has a brain tumor without understanding their underlying pathology, and just saying ‘take an aspirin and call me in the morning;’ it would be both irresponsible and dangerous. Finally, the only effective way of resisting a MNPD is: (1) to recognize what they are, and how and why they operate the way they do, and respond accordingly; (2) to deny them all sources of ‘narcissistic supply’; (3) when possible and your personal safety is not in jeopardy, to ‘unmask’ or expose them for what they are, by which means they not only lose their power and influence over you but others as well, ultimately making it necessary for them ‘go to ground’ (think of it this way, once the conman is identified and exposed, they have to pack up and move to another town when they are as of yet unknown in order to operate). With that in mind, one must understand MN’s never really ‘give up’ or go away, because they are obsessed with ‘winning,’ and when thwarted their subsequent acts of revenge and retribution can also constitute ‘wins’ in their own minds, even when self-destructive. The best you can hope for is that in using the techniques described above you can to some degree neutralize them and their influence, and thus the extent to which they can do more harm. With all of that said, then, when it comes to a malignant narcissistic in the highest office, the most effective means of neutralization is his removal.

Has anyone done a follow-up interview with that woman? She has to have seen the coverage of her by now, and know she was mistaken. She might be too embarrassed to do another interview. She's probably still a Trump fan, even if he's not the reason her son can afford insurance.

[@modeldaughters]

Dee Dee True - I was young but I distinctly recall the word "landslide" used that evening.

[@Squirrel_314]

Seth Kantrowitz He won a plurality in 1968, beating Humphery by a half percentage point, but only 43% of the popular vote because Wallace got about 15%. Similar to Clinton in 92: won popular vote but with well under 50% due to Perot's wide support.

[@johnhancock8097]

I think Keith has finally realized the challenge at hand. Sharla (sp?). Sharla is the challenge. How to you move the country forward when 50% of the country is named Sharla? That is our greatest challenge. More so than even global warming, racism, or poverty. You see if we could cure Sharla, these other problems would also be fixed. But when half the country is INTENTIONALLY ignorant, you'll never make progress on global warming, etc. So Keith, now that you know what your challenge is, please get on it!! Resist, Peace, Vote....
