countdown: "TRUMP DEMENTIA: 14TH TIME HE'S CLAIMED GAS PRICES "JUST HIT $1.98" - 12.8.25

https://omny.fm/shows/countdown-with-keith-olbermann/trump-dementia-14th-time-hes-claimed-gas-prices-just-hit-1-98-12-8-25


SEASON 4 EPISODE 38: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: It’s not simple gaslighting about the price of gas: It’s neurological disintegration; obsessive repetition of the same lie. He has now - for the 14th time in 28 weeks - announced with shock and excited surprise that gas has "just hit" $1.98 a gallon (or "$1.99" or "under $2.00&quot . It's not just a lie; it's something he heard, could not understand in the first place, and is repeating at regular intervals as if he just heard it moments earlier.

It is a classic sign of neurological crisis. And it is proof that invoking the 25th Amendment is imperative. And won’t happen. Any more than Trump realizing he already TOLD that lie.

ALSO: Jack Smith still has a way to make the second half of his report convicting Trump public, while it turns out he tried to get rid of Aileen Cannon a year ago. It is also becoming increasingly apparent that ESPN's Stephen A. Smith may be the Jill Stein of 2028 - a stalking horse pretending to be a Democrat while being pushed by fascists. We know this much: he's mailing it in. He thinks the name of the governor of Florida is named "Ron Santis."

AND TRUMP AND MELANIA talking about "Pile Driving" at night in the White House? That must be the first time in eighteen years.

Not like he was intelligent to begin with , BUT:

Gas in Arizona is $3.45 a gallon. I'm sure my friends in Cali got that beat.
Eggs HAVE NOT COME DOWM 92%. I did not pay $0.05 cents for a dozen yesterday.
Drugs HAVE NOT come down 800, 1200, 50billion percent, or whatever his demented brain vomited out.
American farmers ARE NOT going bankrupt by the droves due to Chinese tariffs.

He is trying to gaslight the rubes into believing his tariffs and economic policy (massive tax cuts for billionaires) ARE NOT driving America into the ditch.

Unfortunately, it will take a complete Nazi fascist takeover and COLLAPSE of civil society before the fucking rubes WAKE THE FUCK UP. everyone should watch "The Handmaide Tale" to see what America will become. IT. IS. VILE.

Dotard cares about one thing and one thing ONLY: HIMSELF.

Time for the rubber room, Dozy Donald.

5. Is gas sold for $1.99 a gallon within some federal facility the rest of us can't access?

The gated military communities where some of his most odious staff live, perhaps?

It's much more likely it's his dementia and pathological lying.
I'm just looking for any possible alternative explanation.

...at the commodity level is $1.84 per gallon.
For gas to be $1.98, all taxes (road, sales, county, state, municipal), and whatever retail margin is taken would total 14 cents!
It really is an impossible number.

Wait for it.

You know that's coming.

...those people don't want drivable roads.
With no roads, the economy turns to mush.
"Too many taxes", while I agree we would likely hear, is just a stupid knee-jerk response.

All those billions and billions of socialist subsidies he gave to big oil in project 2025, and gas is still not under two dollars a gallon.
