ask her follow up before Kaitlin herself took the mic. He can't comprehend basic courtesy of professional integrity. Plus, Jiang's followup called out the blatant racism (without actually naming it, but she was quite clear) of his previous response to her, when he evaded her question and said "Go ask China." He had no answer and as usual reverted to insults. His behavior was shameful, and on some level he knows it but can't own it and has to project blame.

You can guarantee that Trump was saying the "N" word repeatedly under his breath or in his head.

He was obviously humiliated because face it, people were laughing at him not with him. Plus, to make matters worse, President Obama was just naturally charming. He had good timing, and was a natural with words. Trump likely hated more than anything, that he was being shown up by a Black man who is just superior to him.

52. President Obama has the one thing Trump can't buy -- class.
Mon May 11, 2020, 08:46 PM
May 2020

Obama has an innate ability to make people feel comfortable and valued. For example, when winning sports teams would be invited to the WH, they felt honored. They were made to feel that the event was about them. With Fat Donnie, they're just another backdrop for his braggadocio.

As a result you see something never seen before -- teams turning down invitations, or being disinvited when their star player says he will not attend.

My favorite moment, however, was when 17-year-old environmental activist Greta Thunberg was asked by Ellen Degeneres what she'd say if she met President Trump: She said she wouldn't meet him. "I wouldn't waste my time."

If Trump ever has another ghostwritten autobiography, it will probably be entitled, It's All About Me --The Story of the Greatest Man in the History of the World.

Even he has to know how that blow up on an Asian American reporter looked. She called him on it as best as she could and he wasn’t ready for it. He thought he could throw that out for the cult and she didn’t let it go.

I cannot imagine working in that environment. It would be like an abusive marriage with him blowing up every minute. And you never know when he will explode or when he might be nice briefly. Walking on egg shells. No way I would work in that place!

But it does make me happy that he's freaking out on a regular basis!

about Trump's possible relationship with his mom. The implication is that he has a big Mommie problem and gets angry anytime a woman challenges him.

She would often travel to Scotland with only Trump's sister, leaving the boys behind. Trump is reported to have said he got his showmanship from his mom.

Both of his parents didn't seem to have given a damn about him. They shipped him off to a military themed reform school because he had behavioral problems.

He does not like being challenged at all, but yes, especially by women.

it is not "appropriate" to hate your mom, so you transfer that hatred to other women. His dad was a huge asshole too so he probably got a good dose of misogyny from dad to compliment his complicated feelings toward mom.

There are a lot of men who are raised that way. For men who were raised like that, women are lower than them and not to be listened to ever. It is the mentality in their home growing up. They brag that they never listen to women. They only care what their male buddies think. They dismiss anything a woman says.

Trump managed to be xenophobic, racist, AND sexist in that video. He must be going for a world record.

61. He is used to reporters meekly backing down when he barks a nasty retort to a question.
Tue May 12, 2020, 01:09 AM
May 2020

This time he got an unexpected response. He was caught off guard to have someone — a woman at that — stand her ground and refuse to allow him to bully her. He expected to make his snappy reply and look like the Boss. Instead, she stood up to him and he couldn’t take it. Afraid that it might embolden others, he turned on his heel and left like the real coward that he is.

I hope the other reporters take note that he did not step down from the podium and eat them alive. He is truly a wimp at heart. His first salvo is always to get mad and swell up like a gorilla. But if you show any sign that you are not intimidated by him, he melts into a puddle of pus and snot.

I remember seeing Melania swat his hand away when he tried to hold her hand. I suspect she has his number, too, and is just biding her time until he collapses into a coma and dies.
