President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him, Hope Hicks, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement. He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000. He has built great relationships throughout his life and treats everyone with respect. He is brilliant with a great sense of humor .?.?. and an amazing ability to make people feel special and aspire to be more than even they thought possible.

(9,426 posts)to sugar coat a disgusting, perverted, ignorant, slob, must pay very well. I can not think of ONE good thing to say about this piss-poor excuse for a president who resides in the WH, with lots of help from Russia and the traitors in the gop. He is a disgrace to humanity. His offspring are just like him, greedy money grubbers, with a sense of entitlement. The tRump entire family are strange looking also.

Disease can be found in/from shit, so I see where the infectious part comes in.
Basically, Hope Hicks is calling Trump a pile of shit.

I get the feeling there's a team of people snickering as they write it. "DONALD TRUMP EXUDES A GOLDEN GLOW THAT LIGHTS UP A ROOM...write that down, that's great! He'll love that!"

This sounds like satire. It sounds like that good news segment that Colbert often runs where they do nothing but praise trump.
Everyone laughs.

(63,221 posts)I flinch when I see him. I find him that repulsive. I cannot stand the sound of his voice. It makes me want to throw things. Even hearing his name angers me to no end. The above statement by Hope Hicks is the biggest pile of BS I have ever read in my entire life. Not one word of it is even close to being true.

http://www.filmsite.org/bestspeeches25.html
Screenwriter: Jules Knowledge (1971)
Screenwriter(s): Jules Feiffer
"It's Up, in the Air!"
Play clip (excerpt): Carnal Knowledge
The reassuring speech of paid prostitute Louise (Rita Moreno in a cameo) to massage dysfunctionally-impotent Jonathan's (Jack Nicholson) ego (and more) in the film's final scene. Obsessively, he had her recite a carefully-worded script while kneeling between his legs. (he yelled at her - "God-damn it! You're doing it all wrong" - when she deviated). After accepting payment of $100, and as he reclined back on a couch, she reassured him as she stroked his thighs: "I don't think we're gonna have any trouble tonight." She called him "a real man, a kind man" and then went on:
A real man, a kind man...I don't mean weak kind the way so many men are. I mean the kindness that comes from enormous strength, from an inner power so strong that every act, no matter what, is more proof of that power. That's what all women resent. That's why they try to cut ya down, because your knowledge of yourself and them is so right, so true, that it exposes the lies which they, every scheming one of them, live by. It takes a true woman to understand that the purest form of love is to love a man who denies himself to her - a man who inspires worship, because he has no need for any woman, because he has himself. And who is better, more beautiful, more powerful, more perfect... you're getting hard... more strong, more masculine, extraordinary, more... bust. It's rising, it's rising... more virile, domineering, more irresistible. It's up - in the air...

(67 posts)If Donny Peepee has such a magnetic personality, why does the White House have to tell people it is so? It sounds like he's completely demented and forcing his staff to make reports about his mental stability. Since nothing can be trusted that comes from the White House you have to assume the Opposite of what it proclaims. In other words, he has a personality that puts people off by being near him or even knowing him.

And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...

That is, without a doubt, the most false, heinous piece of tripe ever written about a man we're all familiar with. If we'd never met the man, and knew nothing about his background, we'd all be looking forward to meeting this eloquent person. BUT WE ALREADY KNOW THIS BUMBLING MORON! He can't come up with a cogent thought on his own. Reading scripted material from his teleprompter (something he lambasted Obama about doing) is the only way he can communicate in any meaningful fashion, and sometimes.....not even then!
Hope Hicks. Please seek professional psychiatric help immediately. You're anchored in a separate reality. You've lost touch with not only accepted rational thought, but also your soul.
Can you imagine Ms. Hicks having to face her friends and relatives after writing that putrid garbage?
