Trump attacks Flint pastor who shut him down as nervous, shaky mess

Last edited Thu Sep 15, 2016, 08:48 AM - Edit history (1)

edit to add: This woman, who was strong and steady enough to stop a presidential candidate from using the pulpit to make political attacks, is named Rev Faith Green Timmons



No attack on the woman's "stamina", so he's slipping I guess?

but it's possible she was shaking with anger. I know I would have been.

Maybe she'll have her own comments for the media after this.

about confronting a wealthy, powerful celebrity, she had the courage of her convictions and effectively shut down his abuse of her hospitality. She got the better of him in public, and a narcissist like Trump can't stand that. It's not surprising he would try to take her down a peg or two, behind her back, when he had only a meek and submissive response in the moment. Yeah, he'd stand up to Putin, all right!

I don't know what was wrong with him, yesterday, but he was definitely WAY off of his 'game'.

The Pastor came across as a VERY strong and direct woman.

Like most bullies, he immediately caves when confronted by someone who strongly calls him on his bad behavior. Too bad our journalists (snicker) on tv don't have the same courage as this pastor.
