There have been many favorable reviews of the newly released documentary, You Can See Everything, about the Theranos scandal featuring its founder Elizabeth Holmes as she was about to enter prison for fraud. Because of the era we live in it was almost inevitable that among those reviews at least one would feature Donald Trump as the villain despite the fact that he had absolutely nothing to do with the Theranos scandal.

In a piece which could have been titled You Can See TDS, Atlantic magazine's Idrees Kahloon absurdly fantasized Trump as the Theranos villain on Sunday which gives a hint of where the author's mind is focused on in the title, "Theranos-Style Fraud Has Become the Norm."

Kahloon provides a brief synopses of the documentary before indulging in his Kahlooney-Tunes political obsession with Orange Man Bad although the first paragraph already provides a strong clue as to where he wants to go:

I definitely plan to see this documentary. Almost all the reviews have been extremely positive. Oh, and then there is the occasional TDS review such as this one in which Trump is ABSURDLY portrayed as the villain of the TDS scandal.

I wish I hadn't wasted my money. The movie is VERY liberal and HIGHLY offensive to the memory of Charlie Kirk.

I want to see it too. Usually, when the topic is anything digital, I have Zee-Row interest in the movie, because the story is being told in a very boring and predictable manner.
I’m thinking of all those movies about Facebook or Zuckerberg.

This, may be different, because it involves lying, something we are all guilty of at one time or another. Lying, when the stakes are sky high?
It takes a certain kind of person to maintain the deception over time, and in front of ‘learned & esteemed’ professionals. How did she do it? I want to know. She’s attractive, yes, but not THAT glamorous. There must be something else going on. Many who helped her had a vested interest in keeping the project going. So, that’s one thing.

In the documentary Elizabeth Holmes claimed that she NEVER lied a single time in her life. Not even a white lie. Not even lying when she was a child. Anybody who makes that claim to have NEVER lied ever is sure to be a serial ...LIAR.
