What games is Trump playing with Paul Ryan? When I worked in a medium security prison as a counselor, we would call this a form of asexual punking. This is when a gang leader puts down a member in front of others so that they kowtow to the authority of the gang leader without question. […]
Trump put down the mother of a crying baby after he said not to worry about it. He said that she didn’t understand and waved her off with his hand. He also said that the baby was “young, beautiful and healthy… that’s what we like.” What is he referring to in the video? Young women? […]
Trump is all twisted up in trying to seem intelligent about Khizr Khan’s wife speaking. He thinks his wife is being submissive to her husband as if somehow that is culturally wrong.

At the DNC, a story was told how young Hillary was bullied on the way home from school. Her mother blocked the doorway and told her to go confront the bully. Hillary was trained to take on Bullies. Now bring on the debates. Let’s put that training to the test…
As far as I can tell the Trump train tweet is authentic (and authentic click bait). Checking his time line I found this more recent tweet FRED begs to differ The tweet might show Trump cherry picking (and cheating on “through”).
