1. That is an oxymoron statement!

Especially from somebody who is an arrogant abuser himself!

2. I wonder what he thinks respect means

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Add this to

No one has more respect for black people than I do
No one has more respect for Jewish people than I do
No one has more respect for gay people than I do.
No one has more respect for Latino people than I do.
No one has more respect for the country than I do.


All lies

4. when he says "no one", of course he means "no man". because, you know, women don't count.

5. Oh yes

Trump "cherishes" women. Perhaps he doesn't know what that word means.

6. actually, i think he believes his statement to be literally true:

we all assume he meant "no one has more respect for women than *i*"

but if he actually meant that no person has more respect for women than that person has respect for *donnie* ("me" ), then that's certainly a statement he believes to be true.

of course he thinks everyone respects him more than they respect women. i mean, come on, he's the donald!

9. Absolutist language is not only authoritarian

It reflects belief. I think he sincerely believes what he says. It's an ironic Stewart Smalley twist where he is telling lies and embellishments out of self preservation. It's like he knows he's in over his head and trying to comfort himself.

10. indeed. i've said it before and i'll say it again: i'd say i'd love to play poker against him

were it not for the fact that i know he'd cheat.

the man is so full of tells it's ridiculous.

best negotiator ever, ha!

he's gotten a long way by bullying people and being willing to lie, cheat, and leave others to pay the bills, and he thinks that's "negotiating".

11. Right

When his books sold and the Apprentice was successful he had every reason to believe his BS because other people did. His rally crowds reinforced it.
I'm not sure if his mirror and supportive staff will fail him someday, or if that would actually even help us.

7. Has the Donald at all promote Melania and her causes...

And complimented her on work well done as First Lady as Barack had done for Michelle ? Has he publicly put her first?

Trump has NO respect for women. They are around to make him look better, that's all.

8. "The 10s, that is."
