Just curious Shelley, How did you file the "grab em by the pussy" comment and so many other crass remarks about men and women. Even the comments made about some military people were so repugnant to me. Someone who is so good at crass name calling and many dubious business dealings (and I know you know what they are) keeps me off his team. When he was a democrat, did you notice him then?

In reading the scriptures it is clear that God can and has selected certain individuals for certain tasks. I am not saying the DJT is ordained, but regardless of the many offenses you find with him, it might just be his calling. He was not the wrecking ball many think he was. We all have worts, some just are not that easily discernable.

DJT (in public) is an egotistical, self centered, pompous ass, and i attribute this to his upbringing, his exposure to wealth, and his numerous successes he's been graced enough to be part of, in his life. He projects to the world that he is a big, tough guy, and don't mess with him, or he'll kick your ass. The opposite is really true.

Just look at his hands, and you can tell this guy couldn't fight his way out of a ripped paper shopping bag. Look at his suits, which have padding in them to make him appear more muscular. He wouldn't know a 10 lb dumbell from Mitch Mconnell, but I digress

Lol

DJT is really a humble, caring, and quite a bit insecure with regards to how he feels about himself as a "manly man". This is why he uses this projection, and boasts about his accomplishments all the time. If he wasn't so insecure, he would never mention the things, he constantly does.

How many times can I hear about him getting all the ventilators? How he got the greatest vaccine ever out there? The greatest US economic recovery? Most beautiful wife and family, and so on.

People who are secure in how they feel about themselves, never talk about it, never mention their accomplishments, never brag about the things they got done, because those feats all speak for themselves. Humble, DJT is not in public, and most likely never will be.

Otoh, I know someone who was on his security detail as President, and said he was kind, considerate, generous, and extremely humble away from the cameras.

I also know someone DJT commissioned a project with, who said the same exact thing.

DJT in person, away from the spotlight, is not the same man you would think, based upon all these episodes where he acts like the misogynistic jackass, all men are capable of being. This is why I'm so conflicted with his ongoing push on the jab, as it violates the entire premise of all that I've heard from those who have had personal interactions with him.

I heard early on he built one of his golf courses when he found out the nearby one did not allow blacks.

In 1971 after getting out of the USMC I delivered mail in Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY- didn't know about Trump, but I heard that he was tall guy who protected the short and young kids from the bullies. He did throw fists.

I had no idea who he was until he ran for pres in 2015. Never lived on the east coast or watched TV.

DD, How do you know DJT was ever really a democrat? Yes, he may have been registered as a democrat back in the days of JFK/Humphrey styled democrats, but those guys are pretty much extinct these days. It would seem to me that to do business in NYC one would be at a huge disadvantage if the people you were trying to do business with knew you weren't a democrat. I would posit that he just allowed people to think he was a democrat. Cancelation for democrats is not a new thing. It's just a lot less subtle now than it used to be.

Also, I learned, mostly the hard way, after 30 years in business, not to put too much stock in the rantings of sore losers.
