Trump's Rhetoric Fuels State-Sanctioned Terrorism and Detachment From Reality

Key Quotes

"This is Trump’s terrorism. This is the Kent State of our time. A peaceful, unarmed protester murdered by Trump’s ICE, while Trump’s lie factory and Trump personally smeared her, blamed her, made up a story of threat where there was no threat, altered images, lied about her, lied about what the Gestapo did -- the Gestapo they sent to kill Americans in American cities in order to make videos to feed the sadistic, blood-lusting psychotics who support Trump."

Keith Olbermann argues that the killing of a peaceful protester by ICE is an act of terrorism orchestrated by Donald Trump. Olbermann asserts that Trump's administration and media apparatus actively slandered the victim and fabricated narratives to justify the violence, catering to a base that Olbermann describes as "sadistic, blood-lusting psychotics."

"Two weeks from Saturday, it will have been 10 years since he said it. 10 years. January 24th, 2016: 'I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.' And once again, his stochastic terrorist, murderous wish has come true."

Keith Olbermann connects a past statement by Donald Trump to a recent event, suggesting that Trump's words have directly led to violence. Olbermann frames Trump's 2016 quote as a prediction of his own actions and a justification for the "stochastic terrorist" killing of Renee Maclin Good, indicating a pattern of Trump inciting violence.

"Trump chose the evening of the day of his crime by proxy in Minneapolis, after the murder there, to insist that he has 'determined that the military budget for this country for the year 2027 needs to be increased from the already obscene level of $1 trillion, your money and mine. It needs to be increased by 50% to $1.5 trillion.' That is the military he wants to use against American citizens on American streets."

Keith Olbermann highlights a perceived correlation between Donald Trump's actions and his policy proposals. Olbermann suggests that Trump's announcement of a significant military budget increase immediately following a fatal incident involving ICE is not coincidental, but rather an indication of Trump's intent to use military force against American citizens.

"Trump's Don Roh Doctrine is that as long as another country, let's say Greenland, indicts Trump under its own laws for any crime remotely affecting it, as long as Greenland legally indicts Trump, Greenland is then entitled to send 150 planes to bomb Trump's compound and seize Trump and seize Melania, even if she's at her latest photo shoot or the plastic surgeon's, and rendition the pair of them to Kakortok or Upernavik and put them on trial there, just so long as they've indicted Trump beforehand."

Keith Olbermann introduces and explains the "Don Roh Doctrine" as a concept derived from Donald Trump's actions regarding Venezuela. Olbermann uses a hypothetical scenario involving Greenland to illustrate the doctrine, suggesting that Trump's approach implies that any country could indict him and then legally abduct him and his wife, regardless of the severity of the alleged crime or international law.

"And in what may go down in history as one of the maddest moments of his madness at the Republican congressional retreat, rarely, even for Trump, has there been so much insanity on so many topics in so short a time."

Keith Olbermann describes Donald Trump's behavior at a Republican congressional retreat as exceptionally erratic and indicative of severe mental instability. Olbermann suggests that the sheer volume and range of "insanity" displayed by Trump during this event were remarkable, even by Trump's own standards.

"I will never shake my conviction that they are married because of her first book, because she was desperate to get a ghostwriter for it. And I have that from her. They were dating. She and I were still talking like eight years after I had asked her to move out of my house, and she said she liked him, but she didn't think he was like long-term material, and he had these other kids, and, and, and."

Keith Olbermann expresses a strong personal belief about the origins of Katie Turr's marriage to Tony DeCopel, attributing it to her need for a ghostwriter for her first book. Olbermann claims to have this information directly from Turr, detailing their continued communication years after their relationship ended and her initial reservations about DeCopel.
