The only thing he was concerned about was telling folks what a great job he was doing in response. Making a devastating disaster in to another "me" moment. Children do this. Adults shouldn't, and most definitely not a sitting President.
How to show sympathy in a tweet - "To all those suffering through this tragedy, know that you have not been forgotten. Stay Strong, look out for each other. FEMA resources are on their way. For everyone else, please keep the people of Texas in your thoughts and prayers." It's really not that hard.
Jeff Swartz you need to cut out all this liberal and conservative nonsense it's time for us to come together that's what divided this country in the first place
Did I hear him give condolences to those who lost their lives, homes, and businesses? No. Did I hear him thank the first responders, locals and out of state people who, for the last few days, have been working 24/7 saving lives? Nope. Did I hear him mention there was a good turnout for himself? Yep. What a POS.
miapdx Portland, we do have Bernie Sanders and Al Franken so integrity and Congress are not mutually exclusive. I would support Keith for any office of his choosing. He would make an excellent Congressman.
"Hey, talk about 'underwater'... my Trump International Hotel & Tower in Baku, Azerbaijan was a complete financial disaster for me. So I feel your pain, Houston. Believe me." -- _President Donald J. Trump, tomorrow_
Hey, at least he's not calling on people to donate to the Trump Foundation! I really expected that! Though, he IS modelling his 'USA' hat, which you can find on his store for $40. He even has his wife sporting her 'FLOTUS' hat! Only $40! And, in case you were worried, yes, they ARE made in China.
To quote Bill Moyers: “This man does not seem to me to have what we would normally think of as a soul. He has an open sore. He is constantly at war with everyone. Everything antagonizes him, and he degrades everything around him. He is the malevolent fury that is attempting to provide a return to many of the practices and behaviors that we have spent 250 years overcoming.”
Thank you to all these celebrities that have taken their time to ig/tweet important information, prayers, and links to where you can help. They have also challenged each other to help donate much needed donations. Trump could take a page out of their book.
Alexander Romero Make sure you donate the the Clinton Fondation or the Clinton Global Initiative. The Clinton Crime Family needs the money. The give so much back to the USA every chance they get!!
Ross Geography No! Do not send money. Send food, and blankets, and bottled water, and first-aid supplies. Anything you can think of besides money. And you know why...
America first...? Right...? Texan Americans, forget the neglect by the male who was elected President. Those who matter, the rest of the nation who are your family, are working and praying for you.
Vanity, thy name is Donald Trump. First president to do this kind of boasting and bullying during a major natural disaster. Trump needs to stop tweeting.
Nah, let him tweet, his black heart is on display to the world this way. A tweeting Trump is going to be an impeached Trump much faster if he keeps up attacking people on his twitter, or promoting himself and his friends while he should be presiding over a country.
For trump it is more important to pardon racist Arpaio, to ban transgender and to marvel at the size of the hurricane than showing empathy to the inhabitants of Houston.
Jason Blade 1- There was no reason to charge Arpeio 2- saving taxpayers money and by the way, you can't join the military if you have ADHD or diabetes so explain how trans people are more useful? 3- he donated 1 million dollars of his own money for the hurricane relief.
B 81 Its not the flood, its the response to it, you can't just tweet well wishes, a part of the country needs your words of hope and help relief, NOW you cant phone this in and people shouldnt have to tell you or show you how to respond if you are so awesome at leadership
I have to admit this was one of your most moving pieces yet. It almost had me in tears, because it couldn't be more true. Dubyuh was an idiot but I think he cared. Trump is more concerned about selling himself than taking care of the victims in Texas. Resist. Remove. Peace.

Mexican government has offer its help again(Like Katrina) and they are still waiting to see if the US or Texas will accept it. and this dude still trying to make us pay for a wall, its ridiculous. I though our president was dumb, but this dude takes the cake.
Fastest and most complete response, federal and state, ever as far as I know. Appeared to delegate much of the hands-on to his VP who has experience as a governor. Doesn't mix in where he would be in the way. Vastly better than GWB's response, infinitely better than Obama's response to disasters.
I see the comments asking Keith to run for Congress and I understand. But we need Keith as an honest, hard-hitting journalist. I know he's mostly doing editorial here, but even in that, we need people like him to get the message out, to make sure the truth is not a casualty in this era of idiots voting for idiots like Trump.
Why do I have this impression of Trump, while on his way to another vacation(albeit to the 'dump' camp David) saying "good luck" like "Yeah right, Buddy. Good luck, Sucker!"
Yeah there's people who lost their lives, and a lot people lost everything they had, and yes it is a tragedy, but would you look at that crowd!, tremendous turnout!, that's what really matters. Sad.
I expect nothing, yet the Cheeto-in-Chief still finds ways to disappoint and depress me. Thank you to everyone who's providing actual help to the flood victims in Texas.
Dammit... this is one of the funniest channels out there. Even with the huge downgrade to this GQ thing, you didn't lost that looney factor we all know and love to laugh at. It's like sociopathic propaganda, with some great acting. Keep going Keith. Cheers.
When Trump tweeted "Good Luck" I couldn't help but think of the response Liam Neeson's character in Taken had: "You don't remember me. We spoke on the phone two days ago. I told you I would find you."
joseph geraci he may have mental problems but that's no excuse for a complete lack of morals and compassion just because he lacks the understanding of the most daft human being he doesn't even make an effort at compassion etc because those are human emotions and he has none of those they are completely strange to him if i were to make a wild guess i believe that he is a product of area 54.
He does that in every video. I despise Trump, but Keith Olberman is the worst propaganda out there. It's in your face obvious. This may even be a satire show. Who knows. lol
Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, really? On a Tuesday afternoon? Everybody knows you get much higher ratings on a Friday evening! C'mon man, you must be getting senile in your old age.
This makes me sad. There are heros down there. If the devastation down there doesn't bring the President to tears, he truly has no heart. The small children, the disabled, the elderly, the animals, it breaks my heart
+GQ Keith, youve probably been told this a lot by now, but Trump's tweet at @3:38 probably meant to say, "Democrat Claire McKaskill is opposed to big tax cuts. Republican will win seat."
KEEP IT UP, KEITH! You're doing great. We need you now.
Keith, this is your best video EVER!
So Powerful and well articulated.
The only thing he was concerned about was telling folks what a great job he was doing in response. Making a devastating disaster in to another "me" moment. Children do this. Adults shouldn't, and most definitely not a sitting President.
against the ottoman empire. Alternative reality detected.
against the ottoman empire Muslim's you are such a douche bag!
GeeseBear I think children would be more empathetic and concerned about others.
GeeseBear sure did a good job
against the ottoman empire Muslim's - your apostrophe is showing :(

Thank you Keith....
Yeah! I hope this becomes Trump's Katrina!
baaa baaa baaaaa
Hillary lost, you idiots! You and all other liberal diehards need to get over it! Get over yourself, you narcissistic DUMB ASSES!
Don't hold back, tell us what you really think; and be sure to use your outside voice.

Robert Beerbohm Keith has too much integrity, they wouldn't know how to deal with him.

miapdx Portland, we do have Bernie Sanders and Al Franken so integrity and Congress are not mutually exclusive.
I would support Keith for any office of his choosing. He would make an excellent Congressman.
against the ottoman empire Muslim's why should we trust you? Do you have first hand experience working in Congress?
Sylvester Puddy-Tat that's a funny comment seeing as how you live in your mom's basement and collect welfare.

Thank you to our president for tweeting valuable information and places to help donate. Thank you for your kind words and prayers President Obama!
Alexander Romero True words. We haven't had a president all year.
Hey, at least he's not calling on people to donate to the Trump Foundation! I really expected that! Though, he IS modelling his 'USA' hat, which you can find on his store for $40. He even has his wife sporting her 'FLOTUS' hat! Only $40! And, in case you were worried, yes, they ARE made in China.
Alexander Romero isn't he awesome!
Ian Hardin. You and Alexander Romeo have the best comments I have read, that was a good job!!!!!
Alexander Romero Trump is our President, if you don't like it____ leave!
To quote Bill Moyers: “This man does not seem to me to have what we would normally think of as a soul. He has an open sore. He is constantly at war with everyone.

Can he read?
as Trevor Noah said - thoughts and prayers great BUT send money first

Alexander Romero Make sure you donate the the Clinton Fondation or the Clinton Global Initiative. The Clinton Crime Family needs the money.
The give so much back to the USA every chance they get!!
Ross Geography
No! Do not send money. Send food, and blankets, and bottled water, and first-aid supplies. Anything you can think of besides money.
And you know why...
Horrific in every way.
8,500 retweets of Trump's retweet of the head of FEMA and 45,000 likes for promoting a book by a dirty cop.
Thanks America! You deserve this!
45* has the best twitter followers money can buy.
We definitely did not need his dark cloud and bad mojo here in Texas.
Alexis Mitchell It's like Texas hasn't suffered enough already without the orange disaster coming for a visit...
I feel bad for you right now...
Alexis Mitchell happened with Bush during Katrina, his visits further taxed the already fatally overtaxed emergency response system
America first...? Right...? Texan Americans, forget the neglect by the male who was elected President. Those who matter, the rest of the nation who are your family, are working and praying for you.
Its all about the Fat Pumpkin, not the victims of the storm.
So sorry for the tragedy in your state. Thoughts and prayers with you 💚
Vanity, thy name is Donald Trump. First president to do this kind of boasting and bullying during a major natural disaster. Trump needs to stop tweeting.

For trump it is more important to pardon racist Arpaio, to ban transgender and to marvel at the size of the hurricane than showing empathy to the inhabitants of Houston.
Jason Blade Empathy ain't in Donnie Dumbfuck's vocabulary
Psychopaths aren't able to show empathy. They have no heart.
B 81 What was ignorant about their comment?
Dude, go take your medication. You're actually thinking Olberman is anything but a raving madman.
Jason Blade
1- There was no reason to charge Arpeio
2- saving taxpayers money and by the way, you can't join the military if you have ADHD or diabetes so explain how trans people are more useful?
3- he donated 1 million dollars of his own money for the hurricane relief.
*SO* Glad there's mr. Olbermann.
KEITH! RUN FOR CONGRESS
Keith. Run over and punch Trump in the Face !
Good idea, a balanced antidose to the ineptitude in capitol

Oh please do Mr. Thrill up my leg. Bahahaha
Senate. against Arpaio.
Nemoho's we have enough clowns in Congress
he must go
After the flood waters recede how long will Texans take to scrub the Trump /Pence bumper stickers off their flooded cars and trucks?
IronMandingo ....they won't have to.... The water will desolve the adhesive....must be divine.....😁
Randy Cox you're right even the adhesive of the stickers cant stick by the Supporters let alone Trump himself
LOL
B 81 Its not the flood, its the response to it, you can't just tweet well wishes, a part of the country needs your words of hope and help relief, NOW you cant phone this in and people shouldnt have to tell you or show you how to respond if you are so awesome at leadership
the truth is like kryptonite to libtards. Just look at how they praise this liberal lunatic ,Olbermann as some kind of cult hero.
Thanks Keith, you say it the way it is!
he says it the way he sees it, though hate filled eyes. This man is as unhinged as it gets
is hating racism really that bad?
STOP the madness - Trump must GO, now!
Milo Catnip : Vote 2018 Mid-terms and all republicans out!
I have to admit this was one of your most moving pieces yet. It almost had me in tears, because it couldn't be more true. Dubyuh was an idiot but I think he cared. Trump is more concerned about selling himself than taking care of the victims in Texas. Resist. Remove. Peace.
Dubyah was a moron, Trump is an orange 2 yr old.
and Olbermann is a crazed lunatic
gangelone999 You're nobody.
Rick B your profile pic is hilarious
Thank you , Keith Olbermann. Two excellent reports already this week. Thank you. So nice to hear the truth.
if you want to hear the truth, don't listen to this lunatic
Of course he messed up.... it was predictable, like everything that happened before. Most of us have been saying this for 2 years...
I just wear a permanent sign now that reads "I TOLD YOU SO!".... people don't like it for some reason :\
L K spot on, we've known the Clinton Crime Family is a *criminal murdering horrible enterprise for over 30 years.*
LiaM MaiL wah wah trump chump fan
Get over it , your boy won and he still doesn't have a clue!
LiaM MaiL ... No they aren't! You've been listening to too much fake fox news!
Is anybody surprised how Trump is responding to Texas?
stitcher64 He went there because be thought it was...OIL!!! TO TAKE!!! 😠😩😠
Sadly. no.
Smileyrie James : It's extremely rare to crack open the shell of a nut and not find a nut inside! Fits trump to a T!
HE HAS TO DO IT BECAUSE PENSE AND HIS WIFE SHOWED HIM UP!!!
CAN'T HAVE THAT!!!
no
Trump's like' "look at the size of this crowd!"
Crowd's like, "look at how tiny this high ground we're all stuck on is"
Spot on 👍🏿
The president of Mexico offers his army for relief efforts in Texas. tRump said, "No".

I so appreciate Keith Olbermann's efforts.
We need Keith olberman back on tv
that would be great, then i can just turn him off
Brilliantly put Keith!
Keith, your contempt for Trump is extremely palpable;
and I share it 100%
Join the idiot club, with your leader, Olbermann, lord of the idiots
RESIST. REMOVE.

@ B81: Or... people have realized that Trump is a Narcissistic Sociopath and are angry that he is President?
Trump litterally needs to just get impeached already
Truuuuuuuuu!!!
You're an idiot who doesn't know how impeachment works.
As long as he gets removed by the Senate right after.
Alan Lambert prosecuted* by the senate
"You're an idiot who doesn't know how impeachment works." - Someone who doesn't know how impeachment works.
It really wouldn't have been too hard for Trump to get a passing grade on this crises.
Step 1- pretend to actually care about American citizens
Pass.
" Houston We have a problem"!! And it's Donald Trump!
wow, brilliant!
The only reason Chump went to Texas was to sell more hats.
Well said Keith!
What did he say, I, Keith Olbermann am a complete liberal lunatic?
I reside in Thailand. They have a word for Trump; 'jai dam' - it translates as 'heart black.'
Houston has suffered enough, so has our country.
I REALLY appreciate Keith Olbermann telling it like it is!!! He says what I am thinking and feeling!!!
Mexican government has offer its help again(Like Katrina) and they are still waiting to see if the US or Texas will accept it. and this dude still trying to make us pay for a wall, its ridiculous. I though our president was dumb, but this dude takes the cake.
Keep speaking the truth, Keith. We so badly need your voice and encouragement to continue in this fight. This whole disaster is heartbreaking.
45 - the blackest of souls, the darkest of hearts.
exittiming M the nastiest of everything God will get these non Christians pretending to be human but can't seem to do it for they have No HEART
exittiming M SOUL LESS!!!!..
Raoul Radio : Money is his soul and heart! Republicans are the Looney bin party! No doubt!
How he a million dollars of his own money to relief
HE HASNT YOU IDIOT. PAY ATTENTION.
JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE WILL DOESN'T MEAN HE WILL.
I had actually expected you to mention that after Trump landed in Texas he was going on about how amazing the crowd size was....
It's shocking how little Dump cares about the populace.
Fastest and most complete response, federal and state, ever as far as I know. Appeared to delegate much of the hands-on to his VP who has experience as a governor. Doesn't mix in where he would be in the way. Vastly better than GWB's response, infinitely better than Obama's response to disasters.
Love ya Keith!!
i think you just feel sorry for him, after all, he is a very sick and disturbed man
That was so well spoken!!!
Thank you.
you're absolutely right! No one can put into words, what a deranged lunatic Olbermann is, better than Olbermann himself
Lol!! Trump really thinks the bigger the disaster the biggest his presidency is... Belive me I have the biiiiiigest hurricanes... believe me, wow!
Good luck was the last thing Obama wished for the Americans on the last day of his presidency.😉
I see the comments asking Keith to run for Congress and I understand. But we need Keith as an honest, hard-hitting journalist. I know he's mostly doing editorial here, but even in that, we need people like him to get the message out, to make sure the truth is not a casualty in this era of idiots voting for idiots like Trump.
Thank goodness for people like Keith Obermann who tells us like it is!Keep up the resistance!
"What a turnout, what a crowd"...what a dope
You keep me sane, Keith! i agree with every syllable you utter!
Resist! Remove! Peace!
Why do I have this impression of Trump, while on his way to another vacation(albeit to the 'dump' camp David) saying "good luck" like "Yeah right, Buddy. Good luck, Sucker!"
Keith, I love you but there is no soul. Trump has a poor or no conscience.
Robb G Sorry if the name I chose is distracting. I chose it right after Trump got elected so that I could be cruel to those who voted for Trump.
Let's eat them with some fava beans, and a nice bottle of chianti.
You're funny. lol @Hannibal Lecter. and Why not? lol
Hannibal Lecter my friend just said you have a conscious
Very sad and unfortunate.
Sending lots of love to the people of Houston.
Trump will brag about this in the future. "The biggest, most amazing storm in 500 years showed up for my presidency. It was yuge, everyone said so."
Trump's kryptonite: Situations where empathy is demanded...
or we are doomed
Trump: A hurricane getting more attention than me? Not on my watch.
Yeah there's people who lost their lives, and a lot people lost everything they had, and yes it is a tragedy, but would you look at that crowd!, tremendous turnout!, that's what really matters. Sad.
I expect nothing, yet the Cheeto-in-Chief still finds ways to disappoint and depress me. Thank you to everyone who's providing actual help to the flood victims in Texas.
Reap the whirlwind Texas.
There needs to be a full discussion about our POTUSs mental health
Please smash his phone someone for godsake. He is not well.
He'll drive another nail in his coffin when he speaks in Missouri.
he's not that smart
Authoritarians do not possess any empathy. That's the problem.
Don't insult Olbermann like that
EVERY Trump proclamation is a Disaster Proclamation.
Eclipse, floods, nukes, and gluten? Signs o_O!
He and Pence can be removed at anytime. What's taking so long?
Scarlet Letter, Republicans.
Scarlet Letter I wish it were so! We will have to remove the House and the Senate seat o get to him!
Thank you Keith!!!
if i had 5 hands you would get 5 thumbs up.
Dammit... this is one of the funniest channels out there. Even with the huge downgrade to this GQ thing, you didn't lost that looney factor we all know and love to laugh at.
It's like sociopathic propaganda, with some great acting. Keep going Keith. Cheers.
Impeach Trump now!
Al Thompson on what?
LiaM MaiL it still surprised me that Obama wasn't impeached over giving arms to terrorists
For being stupid!
Al Thompson that's not a legitimate reason?
LiaM MaiL You are fighting a losing cause. Get a grip! Trump will be impeached
Keith Obermna is the nutcase! Wow!
Some people just want to see the world burn.
you mean the DEMS and OLbermann , right?
gangelone999 DUDE! Take your meds. Also I did not know that you could have laptops on your own in the asylum.
Brilliant commentary.
😪
When Trump tweeted "Good Luck" I couldn't help but think of the response Liam Neeson's character in Taken had: "You don't remember me. We spoke on the phone two days ago. I told you I would find you."
Trump is a elderly man with mental problems. Leave him alone.
joseph geraci he may have mental problems but that's no excuse for a complete lack of morals and compassion just because he lacks the understanding of the most daft human being he doesn't even make an effort at compassion etc because those are human emotions and he has none of those they are completely strange to him if i were to make a wild guess i believe that he is a product of area 54.
Right, except replace Trump with Keith.
He's disappointed the hurricane wasn't named after him. Because it's going to be yuuuuge!
I don't like Trump either, but you are deliberately twisting things in this video.
He does that in every video. I despise Trump, but Keith Olberman is the worst propaganda out there. It's in your face obvious. This may even be a satire show. Who knows. lol
"What a crowd, what a turnout." - Donald Trump speaking to Hurricane victims in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, really? On a Tuesday afternoon? Everybody knows
you get much higher ratings on a Friday evening! C'mon man, you must be

This makes me sad. There are heros down there. If the devastation down there doesn't bring the President to tears, he truly has no heart. The small children, the disabled, the elderly, the animals, it breaks my heart
You could just as easily look at his speech on memorial day, thanking people for the applause they gave to the dead.
khaki pants and high heels and raybans - perfect for a trip to see poor flood victims
Sir, my respect and admiration for you is immense. Thanks.
Kieth, dont you think your message would go over better if you seemed less angry?
Trump: "It's HUGE" as his EGO...Instead of COGITO ERGO SUM, he is: EGO ERGO SUM...
+GQ Keith, youve probably been told this a lot by now, but Trump's tweet at @3:38 probably meant to say, "Democrat Claire McKaskill is opposed to big tax cuts. Republican will win seat."
I love you Keith. Never stop speaking your mind.
