Some interesting perspective on this...

[PCIntern]

My last patient last night was a former NBA basketball player and an acknowledged star of Philadelphia college and professional basketball. Among other qualifications to comment (as you can only imagine), is that his former girlfriend became Kareem's first wife. This gentleman has been around the block more than anyone I've ever met.

I asked him: do you have any recollection in locker rooms, bars, swinging hotel rooms with orgies, dates, back seats of cars, ANYWHERE where men talked like this guy does where they could be quoted by people? His response: absolutely not. He had not one single memory of an NBA player or any of their posse or anyone ever referring to women's bleeding or demeaning them IN THAT FASHION. That is not to say that they didn't have some choice words for women: he wasn't saying that at all, but even that Access Hollywood tape he said was not how these guys relate their technique or experiential history with women. He thinks Trump is an "asshole" and "sick".

Please allow me to say that I've known him for over twenty years and he's a lady-killer BUT he knows his limits within the society's norms.

1. There are society norms and there are trump* norms and 'never the twain shall meet'.

trump* is an entitled, bubble dwelling bully who has NEVER been held to account. I think he is at that point where his psychological deficiencies are now being challenged, for dominance, by his physiological deterioration.

He needs to be ordered to either go through a comprehensive physical and psychological examination. I'm convinced the resulting report might set even some of his most ardent supporters, back on their heels.
