Between the self applause, the pointing to someone, anyone in the crowd and then the belt checking (to make sure he’s got his manly parts on proper display?), he’s getting tiresome and November 8 can’t come fast enough.

Carrie Fisher, “I’m an expert” coke user but reformed, says it’s def coke sniffles.
I was wincing during that whole sequence because I was absolutely convinced he was going to physically attack her. I am also still convinced that he just barely restrained himself from doing so.
When donnie gets on TeeVee he acts. He considers himself to be a great actor and celebrity. In this shot he was John Wayne. The rest of the night he was Frankenstein.
He’s not “grabbing” his belt, he’s just “locker-room talking” to it.
His arrival at the debate was extremely telling. They cut to the SUV in the white tent. Donald emerged, stone-faced. No waves, he brushed past a man any normal pol would have acknowledged and stalked up steps with cameras and, several steps behind, a stoop shouldered, head hanging Melania. That must have been a fun SUV ride…
You bet. More than what I expected. It’s wonderful !
We noticed that too - he just charged in and left her to walk several paces behind and she did look absolutely miserable.
The only time I saw a real smile on Melania’s face was when Bill Clinton came up afterward and said hello and shook her hand.
Melania should be on a Bruise Watch…
I looked as closely as I could to see if there was something under the makeup because in truth I do worry about her a bit these days.
He’s got a terrifying demeanor.
I was thinking the debate should have been in B&W and should have been directed by John Frankenheimer or even Fritz Lang…
t_Rumps mind: "Hmm, I am not listening to her, because Email, Jail, Bill, but… No Smeagle No, Must. Not. Grab. Pussy!
BTW I loved Hillary’s suit, serious but feminine…Pilgrim-y.
Donald looked like a sack of laundry in loafers.
Yep, just waiting for the moment to give her a ‘friendly’ back rub. (ala W and Merkel)
In his mind, he knows he’s creepy.
Fungus … That’s what “creeps” into my mind ----
Yeah she really looked good. She’s looked fabulous actually both debates and he does look like a gigantic sack of something alright.
After it was over and the families and guests were mingling, the Trump family members were all in a group very excitedly talking to each other and Malaria was being ignored, just standing there frowning. This for a long time, maybe ten minutes. Seems they let her out long enough to show how beautiful Mrs. HO is and she’s back in the closet now.
One of my former supervisors in the postal service did this to both men and women. With men, it just felt threatening. With women, there was an element of sexual threat as well.
Unless you were young, female and nice-looking. Then he’d get up -real- close (about a handspan), lower his voice to do that Barry White thing, and talk -very-, umm, “friendly” to you. And yeah, of course he was married. Eventually, complaints led to a couple of EEOC investigators coming in to interview people, but nothing ever happened to him.
This was the guy who learned his management skills in a street gang. Yes, literally; he bragged about having been in a street gang as a teen. If he could have gotten away with it, I’m pretty sure he would have walked around the office with a gun tucked into his waistband. He was that creepy and intimidating.
I was one of his particular targets, and the stress eventually got so bad I ended up in the hospital with what looked and felt like a heart attack, and off work for two months. The harassment complaint I filed was 40 single-spaced pages and 17,000 words. (When it became clear the harassment was deliberate and wouldn’t stop, I’d started keeping a notebook with dates, times, details, and eyewitnesses.)
About a week after I got back from my sick leave, upper management called everyone together for a presentation. They gave that supervisor a letter of appreciation and a promotion. After that, I transferred to another station as quickly as possible.
My harassment complaint took five years to reach a settlement. The result? A letter from Postal Service management admitting harassment had taken place. That. Was. All. No demotion. No suspension. No termination. Nothing but that letter. He probably framed that letter and put it on the wall of his office so he could brag about putting a guy in the hospital and getting away with it. That was one of the biggest reasons I took a retirement option as soon as I possibly could. (I was also pissed at my union, who “negotiated” and accepted this “settlement” without bothering to get my input or permission. And after five years, it was too late to file a private personal injury suit against the supervisor.)
Sorry, veering into off-topic personal stuff there. It’s one of those Major Milestones in a person’s life hard to ignore when something reminds you about it.
The Trump kids and kid-in-law have been deeply, possibly terminally bitten by the president bug. Melania is a survivor. I see her mentally reviewing escape routes…
Your former supervisor is a sick man and so is HO.
That must have been a hell of an ordeal.
