It’s distracting, certainly, but I don’t believe it’s a distraction. I mean, how could you possibly tell? He’s doing awful things 24/7 and saying awful things 24/7, so sure, his saying a horrible thing is going to correlate really well with there being another horrible thing going on in the background, that should get more attention.
Outside of that, I feel like we’ve done a fairly good job of… not getting distracted. Sure, we all had a good laugh at covfefe, but it didn’t really seem to slow down activism on other fronts. If these are distraction tactics, they aren’t working very well.
Which illustrates why they’re to be pitied rather than feared. These people inhabit a mindset where no matter how much they win, they still feel like schoolchildren being picked on. Their philosophy is its own punishment.
Trump seems to know which rooms his guests sleep in at Mar-a-Lago. Check the rooms for cameras. (Creepy peeper wouldn’t very bad on the Trump spectrum.)
This much seems certain: The two definitely get along and enjoy hanging around together. When they stayed a week at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., last winter, they spent each evening, says Trump, “holding hands and talking until the wee hours”—even if they did always adjourn to separate bedrooms.
That was my takeaway, that Trump thinks a lot about women bleeding.
ETA: Actually, I’ve been thinking about this some more, and I’d just like to add: insulting women by saying they were bleeding is some really fucked up shit. Does he think this is a good insult, does he actually remember this happening, or does he imagine it happening at the time? This is worthy of a weird first person dream sequence in a movie about a serial killer.
