Note to Donald Trump: Keith Olbermann is done with you and your building.
The former MSNBC anchor penned a Tuesday op-ed for The Washington Post about how he can’t stand to go on living in one of Donald Trump’s New York City buildings as the 2016 race stretches on.
Olbermann said “the very name ‘Trump’ has degraded the public discourse and the nation itself.” He also admitted his own role is the “coarsening” of politics, with a nod to his running “Worst Persons in the World” feature, but said Trump’s campaign is “entirely about coarseness.”
“This is the campaign of a PG-rated cartoon character running for president, interrupting a string of insults the rest of us abandoned in the seventh grade only long enough to resume a concurrent string of half-crazed boasts: We’re gonna start winning again! We’re gonna build an eleventy-billion-foot-high wall! We’re not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!” Olbermann wrote in the column.
He continued: “Take away the unmappable comb-over and the unstoppable mouth and the Freudian-rich debates about genitalia, and there is no Trump campaign.”
But the former ESPN anchor did see one silver lining. He recounted one day where Trump appeared at the building and encouraged him to reach out if there were ever problems. When major maintenance issues arrived, Olbermann wrote the billionaire.
A three-week project turned into three months, according to Olbermann, creating a plethora of other issues in the building.
“So at least there’s this comfort. If there is a President Trump and he decides to build this ludicrous wall to prevent the immigration from Mexico that isn’t happening, and he uses that same contractor, it’ll take them about a thousand years to finish it,” he wrote.
Hey, Keith. You should check if your building actually IS a Trump building. Apparently, just because it says Trump, it’s not necessarily the real deal.
In related news, Olbermann pens Op-Ed announcing that he can afford to live in a Trump building, but also has the means to move within Manhattan even at its current rates.
Olbermann went on to say that he’s a $10 Million chandelier that doesn’t fit in a $5 Million Trump apartment.
So?
If you were a highly paid ESPN talent you would be able to also.
Just because he doesn’t flip burgers for living doesn’t mean he has no right to an opinion.
ISIS: No worries, we will rent. In fact, we would like to have all of Trump buildings as our base.
Putin. Stand in line.
