She called him out, on national television, and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about. His usual boorish behavior backfired. She bruised his ego unlike no other. His inability to let it go is so revealing in that he is so obviously attracted to her, but he can never have her. Outside of doing her job, she would…

Exactly! I think - because of the way she looks - he had the expectation that she would behave like a fawning, eager-to-please beauty pageant contestant whose success and public existence is in some fundamental sense utterly dependent on his (r.e. male) approval. But it turns out, she’s not a dumb, obsequious blonde…

Because he wants to fuck her, that’s why. He cannot abide the fact that she sees right through all of his bullshit and isn’t at all swayed by his money or his sweaty orange face. He wants to fuck her and she’s all “HARD PASS, LOL.” Trump cannot handle it, and copes by calling her “crazy” and “sick.”

she’s really the only reporter who’s gone after him in any sort of way- most of the others either fawn over him or let him babble on say whatever. Throw in the fact she’s a woman and Trump thinking he’s a Man’s Man with every sexist connotation that comes with it and there you go.

Instead of a madonna/whore dichotomy, I think Trump employs a fat pig/bimbo dichotomy. Kelly is not fat or ugly, and she’s not a bimbo because she keeps challenging him. At first, he was pissed that she was given permission to do so, but now that it’s clear FOX isn’t going to hide her away to appease him, she is now…

One of my biggest accomplishments in life is (mostly) swaying my mom away from FOX news and getting her to watch Rachel Maddow.

I think there is something weird and psychosexual in his inability to take criticism from her. He cannot abide her not liking him - her dissent. At first, it seemed like the usual politician versus pesky reporter war, but it’s not. There’s something about her being female that he cannot stand.

Paraphrasing a comment from another poster:

Fox News standing up for Megyn Kelly now is like three months late. I wonder if they feel they can be belligerent because Trump had another debate canceled and those are big money makers for the networks.

Add making me side with Fox News to the reasons I hate Donald Trump.

There’s also this mess:

She needs to ditch all this, apologize and not try again.

Well, no way was that expected. A British person coming over and using something from First Nations peoples for their own purpose and potential profit? Inconceivable!

100% uncontroversial take:

At least Satan respects you enough to let you make your own mistakes.

“Her: godly, gorgeous, athletic, educated, careered, humorous, travelled, bilingual, 26-year-old virgin. You: unworthy, though becoming less so daily.”

Still a better candidate than Trump.

Yeah, you have to also make the threat "winnable." You can't say, "I WILL END YOU," but you sure can say, "you will lose thing of value for a day or two." But if it gets really bad? Thing goes away, forever. But that's reserved for really bad things. Like discovering they bought a Nickelback album.

I feel like you're not a real person.
