Three attributes Teflon Don woefully lacks in spades. Her account in this book appears to do nothing but set in cement everything we've always believed to be true about Trump. That he is a bully and coward, a lying, misogynistic narcissist and so on and so forth to the power of infinity. Watching the Trump clips Joy played... chilling reminders of some of the scary, intimidating scenes of potential violence he sought to foment at his rallies. Calling out Katy by name and the press in general, moreover dog whistling to the Deplorables that she and they were not welcome, that they were the enemy. Sick 'em.

Trump hates women, I believe there's absolutely no doubt of that. Especially powerful women, women with sway. He feels threatened by them and when he feels threatened by anything or anyone, he lashes out like a wild, rabid animal cornered in a cage. He calls them out by name.... Katy Tur, Megyn Kelly, Hillary Clinton of course. Rosie O'Donnell. To name just a few. If I remembered the name of the Miss Universe contestant who gained a little weight, and who was subsequently described as 'disgusting' by Trump, I'd mention her name too. And those who don't necessarily fall into the 'women with sway' category, may simply fall into the 'hot chicks he wants to bang' category. Some no doubt fall into both categories for Trump.

I hope Hillary does feel she has a case to bring and does contest the election. Whatever good it does remains to be seen, but nonetheless. The more I think of all that bullshit surrounding her goddamn emails, the angrier I get. The more I hear people to this day try to dissect why she lost, I say this: She won. If the metric for success is how many people vote for you in an election, then she got 3 million more people to vote for her than Trump. 3 million more people identified with her and her vision for America than rallied behind the pussy grabber. But those 3 million were disenfranchised by the electoral college, which claims to level the playing field so that Joe Blow in Boise, Idaho has as much to say about who becomes the next president as does Jane Doe in Stockton, California. In fact, Mr. Blow's vote counts about a thousand times as much as does Ms. Doe's as it turns out. One person, one vote? Hardly.

Anyway, I guess I got way off topic with my rant.

Fuck it. It felt good, so I said it.
