Many have the right to be pissed at Trump's saying his is "the greatest witch hunt in history"

Many people were killed during these witch hunts. For Trump to say his is the "greatest" just shows how narcissistic he is. My boyfriend actually has an ancestor who was hung in Connecticut back in those "witch-hunting" days. He commented "I think my ancestor might have something to say about that."

When you think about it, for Trump to be whining about he is more persecuted and acting as if his "loss" is worse than a person who has been drowned, burned at the stake, or hung is just really pretty damn insensitive.

I wish a reporter would think to say to him " so are you saying that your difficulties are worse and more appalling than the many women who were killed in the US and elsewhere?"

It really is bone-chilling to read of these stories of how these women were basically terrorized and tortured.

So he wasn't comparing his treatment to most of the victims in salem, e.g.

But he was saying it was worse than any of the presidents who have been assassinated, shot at, impeached, etc.

And of course, he himself treated both obama and hillary worse than he's being treated now....
