I'm Keith Olbermann and this is The Resistance.

It boggles the mind.

The President of the United States

reportedly receiving information

vital to the security of the nation

about a provocative North Korean missile test

in a golf club restaurant.

Not merely in a setting of utter insecurity

but surrounded by and photographed by people

who could be anything from gawking tourists

to Russian agents.

And if this could somehow get worse.

The President who cannot be bothered

to even leave the dinner

to go to a slightly more private place

where random passersby cannot take souvenir pictures

of a national security briefing

so they can post them later to Facebook.

It does.

The President, the National Security Advisor,

this ogre Bannon, and others

shown using the flashlight function of cell phones

to illuminate the hair raising documents about North Korea

which they are trying to read.

An ordinary cell phone,

especially the kind of outdated, insecure piece of crap

that you or I or apparently Trump used,

can be hacked remotely,

turned into a GPS, a transmitter,

a thing that photographs documents

about North Korean missile tests.

As the Washington Post noted

phones, especially phones with their flashes turned on

for improved visibility

are portable television satellite trucks

and, if compromised,

can be used to get a great deal of information

about what's happening nearby.

Trump slandered Hillary Clinton.

You could argue Trump beat Hillary Clinton

on charges of insecure handling of e-mails.

Nothing she was ever accused of,

nothing come close to this debacle

near Trump's version of the Bushwood country club,

during the Korean missile crisis last Saturday night.

If Clinton had done just this,

the Republicans would have impeached her before sunrise.

As the Maralago club member who posted the photo

told the Washington Post,

Trump made the decision not to find a secure place

to be briefed.

He chooses to be out on the terrace with the members.

It just shows that he's a man of the people.

You're damn right, buddy.

But those people could have been North Korean spies

for all you know.

Or for all this idiot Trump knows.

Resist!

Peace.
