be a problem, were never slapped in the face when they said something shitty about someone's wife or stole from people in a business situation, so they go thru life thinking they can do all kinds of horrible shit.

Shit like saying Women who dont have kids have no place in America, etc. Or calling someone mentally disturbed when they are actually brilliant and fantastic. Good hard SLAP once in a while in public on camera would solve that.

Normally violence doesn't solve things, but when people are this horrible and they experience ZERO consequences, well that is how you get hitler etc.

As a kid, Trump got away with mouthing off and bullying other kids, including his own brothers. He was his father's "golden child," who could do no wrong.

By the age of 13, he was behaving so badly that he got to be too much for the private school he and his siblings attended to handle. The school administrators told his father to send Donald somewhere else, and that turned out to be New York Military Academy.

He was able to fit in better at NYMA, but it wasn't because he became a nicer person. Instead, as he got older, the military academy environment provided opportunities for him to bully younger boys in ways that were tolerated there.

He was just as much of a spoiled, selfish bully when he graduated as when he went in, and back at home, he continued to be treated like a golden prince who could do no wrong, to the end of his father's life. It's not at all surprising that he turned out to be such a jackhole.

I don't know what Vance's excuse is.

and how increasingly broken-down he's getting.

I can't help but suspect that Vance only has eyes for the Oval Office, especially as trump's age is catching up with him. I bet that's the first thing Vance checks for, when he turns on the TV news every morning: "Is he dead yet?"

but the sure are a whole lot of people with one arm up in the air which leads me to believe they were flipping him off. I suppose they could all be doing the heil Hitler salute, but I don’t think so.
