Keith Olbermann Diagnosed With Terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome

  

Keith Olbermann needs help. Seriously, the guy needs some kind of intervention or something. His acrimony towards any political figure to the right of Vyacheslav Molotov is well documented, and his seething hatred of Donald Trump goes back at least to the moment that Trump descended the golden elevator to announce he was running for president – as a Republican.

Now his Trump Derangement Syndrome is in Stage IV. In his latest bout of symptoms, he is claiming that Trump’s injury from the bullet fired in last week’s assassination attempt was faked.

Congressman Ronny Jackson, who served as physician to the president during the Trump administration, said in a statement Saturday he evaluated the former president in Bedminster, New Jersey, last week.

Jackson said Trump sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would-be assassin.

Jackson, it should be noted, served in the White House Medical Unit under three presidents. In 2013, Jackson was named “Physician to the President,” and he held that title for the remaining part of Barack Obama’s term, retaining the title into the Trump administration. Also, in case you have not inferred this already, Ronny Jackson went to medical school and is a physician.

Keith Olbermann is not a physician.

Jackson’s report on the former president’s wound stated:

“The bullet track produced a 2 cm-wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” the physician said. “There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear. The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly.

“Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required.”

Olbermann responded critically on X.

Keith. Seriously. Get help.

It’s amazing, the denial of reality that is going on in the mind – and I use the term mind in the broadest possible sense – of this man. This was an event that took place in front of thousands of people. A man died. Two others were critically wounded. A photographer caught an amazing photo of the bullet whizzing past Donald Trump’s head.

Olbermann’s denial of this not only reeks of hatred, it is an act insulting to the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed while protecting his wife and daughters. It’s insulting to David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who were seriously wounded. Does Olbermann think their injuries were faked as well?

Enough is enough. iHeart Radio should ditch his podcast. He is a disgrace to the trade of journalism; he should be, frankly, blacklisted. He has been unhinged for some time, but these insulting, disgusting remarks are beyond the pale. Yes, he enjoys the First Amendment rights of free speech – but that does not guarantee him a platform, nor does it guarantee him immunity from the consequences of the bile he spews.

Shut up, Keith. You’re a disgrace and an embarrassment.
