Keith Olbermann makes a compelling case that the same wave of outrage and economic pressure used to oust Bill O’Reilly from Fox News can and should be used to push Donald Trump out of office.

In his “The Resistance” podcast today, Olbermann called O’Reilly’s firing “presidential impeachment by proxy.” It also “just might have shown us a road map to presidential removal by economic pressure,” Olbermann added.

“For 18 years, rumors, accusations, lawsuits, audio tapes, transcripts and millions of dollars in settlements have swirled around this man like dirt around Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon,” Olbermann noted, “and yet only now he’s gone?”

Olbermann believes that the “rage of pent-up frustration” that elected Trump triggered a second, stronger wave of frustration over Trump’s presidency. Olbermann cited the Tax Day March, the Science March, and the other “outlets of protest” but perhaps most significantly, the Women’s March.

Those were all “good and vital in their way,” Olbermann continued, but “not one of them can remove Trump earlier than 2020.”

But maybe economic pressure could do the job.

According to Olbermann, the conflagration that “cut off O’Reilly’s economic balls in 23 days” came from the same tinderbox currently lying under Trump.

So why not ignite a similar firestorm against Trump?

OLBERMANN: If consumers pressuring advertisers, pressuring a television network can destroy a powerful man - long and angrily unapologetic about his treatment of women – can that process be a template for use against Trump? Is there enough consumer-based pressure in this country, not truly political but, essentially, just economic, to hamstring Trump’s businesses? Or, in the best-case scenario, to force him to resign the presidency?

Could you starve every business that deals with Trump? Could you crash his empire and not stop unless he quits?

We could try.
