I wonder how the three Mrs. Trumps and the three Mrs. Giulianis feel about the one Mrs. Clinton?


I wonder how the three Mrs. Trumps and the three Mrs. Giulianis feel about the one Mrs. Clinton?
by Helen Philpot

FROM HELEN:

Margaret, I wish there was a word to adequately describe Donald Trump. For the first time, I regret calling Sarah Palin a bitch. Not because she isn’t – she is and so am I - but because I realize now the power of that word. It concerns me that we have a word like bitch – which seems to fit so perfectly for Sarah and for me – and yet we don’t have the equivalent word to describe a man like Trump. Donald Trump is a… Asshole? Yes. But that’s almost a compliment for him and is certainly not gender specific. Fat ass? Well, sure. But then again, so am I. Jackass? You bet. But even that lacks the gender clarity that bitch has.
. . . . .

Donald J. Trump is not a decent person, and his indecency cannot be simplified down to one word. All the worst words seem to fit but the whole of Donald Trump is just greater than the sum of the of all those words. Clearly the man is not right in the head. He is fundamentally flawed – Big League. But a word to describe him escapes me.

We now know that he humiliated a 19-year-old girl because she didn't conform to his definition of beauty. No positive encouragement when she gained weight – public humiliation was Trump’s choice for corrective action. One woman out of billions was crowned Miss Universe that year and Donald still found a way to criticize her looks. This man is a misogynist, yes, but that one word falls way short when you consider he also made fun of a disabled person and attacked the grieving parents of a soldier killed in battle only to then accept someone else's Purple Heart and joke how easy it was to get. I didn't make any of this up, folks. This man is a... I still can’t find the word.

. . . . . .




Maybe Hillary can have a summit with the three Mrs. Trumps and the three Mrs. Giulianis to determine how best to handle the issue of infidelity. I bet they all can't decide if there is one best way to handle such a personal issue, but I bet they all would agree that Donald probably shouldn't have an opinion on the matter. I guess Trump is simply TRUMP. He is just too foul for words. I mean it. Really.

insecure.

He is a bully. That is obvious. And plenty of literature suggests that bullies are frightened and insecure. His fear of being exposed is what I feel generates his ferocious attacks on anyone who questions anything, any aspect about him.

From the "size" of his portfolio to the size of his ego to the size of his........hands, and possibly other parts, he is fiercely protective of what he claims to have.
