Trump's thin skin is legendary. This is still revealing

[cali]

The myriad vulgarities of Donald Trump—examples of which are retailed daily on Web sites and front pages these days—are not news to those of us who have been living downwind of him for any period of time. I first encountered Trump more than 30 years ago. Back then he was a flashy go-getter from an outer borough eager to make his name in Manhattan real estate. Which he succeeded in doing in the only way he knew how: by putting his name in oversize type on anything he was associated with—buildings, yes, but also vodka, golf courses, starchy ties, and even a sham of a real-estate school. Most people who own private planes include their initials as part of the tail number. Not Trump. On his campaign jet, a Boeing 757, his name runs from the cockpit to the wings—in gold letters, 10 feet high.

Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

1. Going with this.

Con Man Don is a Narcissist as well as shows tendencies of being Dyslectic. Watch his body language and his speech patterns. He will use a bully comment pattern when cornered,change the subject and blame someone else for his short comings.

6. Do you mean "dyslexic?"

I'm not sure where that ties in with his narcissism. Also, what are "tendencies" of "being Dyslectic"?

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Many Dyslectic's are able to stay focused

most of the time with constant awareness . Have a childhood friend who has struggled with Dyslexia and was not diagnosed until his early twenties afte he was drafted into the military.

















with constant self reassurance and awareness of their surroundings. Notice how Trump will go off into some tangent that is not Germain to a subject,that is his defense mechanism kicking in. Usually fidgets or starts waving his arms as a distraction and his voice will change,or some really stupid thing comes out of his mouth.

Sorry for the misspelling.

9. the article goes on to Secratery Clinton

not very flattering at all:

"No other recent presidential candidate—not Obama, not Bush, not even Nixon—has been as inaccessible as Hillary has been from day one of her campaign."
