Let's Not Get Carried Away With The Megyn Kelly Lovefest

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. I don't necessarily see it as a Megyn Kelly lovefest.

Having no real love for Kelly herself.

Rather, it's about the extent of Trump's bizarre behavior and egomania.

In a very shallow and superficial manner, he goes after a high profile personality on a news network that has given him considerable air time to spew his views. All because she dared to ask him a question that--love Kelly or hate her--was actually a valid one (an astonishing accomplishment for Fox News): Why are you so rude and nasty to people you feel have crossed you, especially women?

And what we got from Trump in his bleeding comments perfectly illustrated the basis in which that question ought to have been asked. It also revealed the underlying twisted psychology of the man: Rather than brush off the question as not a big deal, he went on a Twitter diatribe against Kelly and then insinuated she was on her period. And only after that, he then demands that people ask him questions about the issues and not his personality conflicts.

Even more bizarre is the reaction from his supporters, many of them who were avid fans of Fox News and Kelly but literally overnight were viciously attacking the network and Kelly. Clearly the supporters he does have, he has considerable sway over them.

In every progressively atrocious example of Trump's bad behavior, I keep on expecting a Gorgan moment* from his supporters and a falling out. That still has yet to occur.
