(370 posts)He clearly is emotionally abusive -- what he did to Hillary and the women he brought to the debate last night is nothing short of abuse. Degrading Alicia Machado by attacking her looks, calling her names and humiliating her by having her exercise in front of tv cameras is abuse. And you could see that he was turned on by it. When he sees the actress on the lot, he says "it" looks good. He has a sick view of women. I don't believe his abuse stops with the emotional form. Telling another man that it's okay if he calls one daughter "a piece of ass" and describing the other daughter when she was a baby as having her mother's legs, but it being to soon to know if she has her mother's breasts is unnerving.
I was married to an emotionally-abusive man for nearly 20 years. I see the same traits in Trump. Last night was was painful for me -- I felt like I was being abused all over again. I felt for Hillary last night and I wanted her to succeed. In fact, I feel a connection with her I didn't feel before. A majority of women who have been cheated on or abused probably feel the same way.
