Nothing irks Trump more than you not paying attention to him. Keith Olbermann’s message to avoid the inauguration extends to more than staying away from the event physically. As most mammals need air to breathe, Trump needs attention to flourish. Until such time as he is legally removed from office, we need to ignore him and deprive him of the life-giving element of attention! Granted, Trump arranged to get himself in our faces almost non-stop for 17 months. It’s time for it all to stop!
Civil rights icon John Lewis said that Trump is an ‘illegitimate president,’ something which should be obvious to all. Keith observes that the most important part of Lewis’s message was this:“You cannot be at home with something you know is wrong.”
We should not confer legitimacy on Trump by treating him as if everything is normal!
Within just a month, Trump’s approval rating has fallen. Keith wonders if approval is falling because of what people see; a racist, a full-fledged psychopath or a Russian mole. Then again, it’s very possibly falling because of what people don’t see – a president!
See Keith on Bill Maher’s first show of the new season tonight!
