Keith Olbermann Offers '176 Reasons Donald Trump Shouldn't Be President' in His New GQ.com Show
Posted in: Uncategorized
If you happened to be wondering how Keith Olbermann was feeling about Donald Trump right about now, GQ has the answer in the form of “The Closer,” Olbermann’s new biweekly web series for its website. The first episode, titled “176 Reasons Donald Trump Shouldn’t Be President,” debuted this morning; its format will be familiar to anybody who ever saw one of his “Special Comment” segments on his old MSNBC “Countdown” show.
Olbermann notes at the start of the video that “The Closer” will typically run around six minutes long — but this one stretches to just over 17 minutes, because, well, he’s got a lot to say. Before he launches into his list of 176 reasons, he puts Donald Trump in historical context:
Our society has thrown up these people before: Joseph McCarthy. George Wallace. Father Coughlin. Jefferson Davis. Aaron Burr. The Know-Nothings. The Blacklisters. The America-Firsters. And we have always thrown them out. And now our generation has its own: the most dangerous individual ever nominated by a major party for the highest office in this country.
