Mon Jan 9, 2017, 11:44 AM

I really think he hates himself and that the only way to compensate for his self-hate is to take down others and try and tout himself. He touts himself as a way of trying to make himself feel good about himself - but every time he does this - it is like taking one step forward and two steps back. He further hurts himself as he takes down others and it becomes a vicious circle that will eventually wind him down to a very flagrant open glaring breakdown. I think he'll crumble before our eyes. They'll have to cart him away to the funny farm.

Trump is so jealous he can't see straight. He will NEVER be admired or respected by former or future living
presidents. Never. History will not treat him kindly. He's so fu*king jealous of Meryl Streep
that his orange skin probably turned green overnight and he had to schedule an extra dose of spray glo
this morning.

Cecil B. DeMille Award https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Globe_Cecil_B._DeMille_Award
Honorary Golden Globe Award for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment"

Take a look at the recipients.

Meryl Streep has been nominated for 30 Golden Globes (and holds the record for the most nominations) and won 8.
She has been nominated for 19 Academy Awards and won 3. (She holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations of any actor, having been nominated 19 times since her first nomination in 1979)

I have nothing against what she said, but our media are just STUPID and are already stopping reporting on all the ethics issues ahead of the nomination hearings, and focusing on Meryl Streep, so except for feeling good for a few minutes, this is counterproductive and serves Trump.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE GONE THROUGH THAT IN THE CAMPAIGN. A BAD SITUATION ARISES, TRUMP SAYS SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS THAT CHANGES THE FOCUS. NOBODY CARES ANYMORE ABOUT THE REAL PROBLEM.
