...Avoid tanning beds and self-tanner. That unnatural orange goblin shade actually got toned down, less garish, throughout his campaign, as did his hair. And the last week even more so. Sad, to be on the receiving end of “doesn’t look very presidential”.

Lack of remorse. Lack of conscience. Generally a feature of sociopathy. I am speechless at how such a clearly personality-disordered individual has ascended as he has. It is frightening that no one was willing to call it out, and just allowed him to keep rolling.

He did say he would be the first candidate to make money from campaigning. And he honored that promise! That his company skyrocketed the rent as soon as his campaign started paying... somehow should not be allowed, it’s major conflict of interest.

Hm, that’s an interesting thought. Though “America” as represented by the popular vote wanted Hillary. He’s only there via the Electoral College.

I read that he can’t actually appoint any family members, including inlaws. I guess transition team is ok - he’s gotta keep the gravy train going somehow, since they’re going to be cut off from Trump Organization.

“This is terrible. This is a disaster. This is a terrible disaster. Bigly.” over and over and over.....

Just when we think we can’t be surprised, there’s something new that adds to the list of his odd relationships with women.

It’s bizarre and a bit unsettling, that’s for sure

That really IS a story, and should have been a big story, his attacks against the media, the goading on of his supporters, calling out specific reporters, etc. Journalists who’ve covered news and conflicts in other areas of the world have seen that before, it’s the start of escalating attacks. By tossing aside respect…

He didn’t even last 4 days. They took his twitter away pre-election...and now no doubt there’s back-room “I told you so” conflict amongst his staff minders.

Can I give you all the stars? Hahaha. I’m sure the lawnmower instructions were as he stood, dumbfounded & crestfallen, looking at the lawn at 1600.

That’s the sad part of this painfully long campaign, it’s now really obvious how uninterested we are as a society in being thoughtful and informed. It’s been like that for a while, but this just highlighted how far we’ve fallen. It’s refreshing to see Dan Rather’s thoughtful long-form online posts.

I love that it’s also a peek into the tortured inner workings of a narcissist, who subconsciously knows he himself is an unattractive guy without much talent, who is a vindictive and jealous person. He is a case study in projection and it would be fun if he wasn’t about to hold the highest office.

Absolutely. The Omarosa quote is also in a Frontline video, and one of the commentators said exactly that - Trump ran because of that Dinner. I don’t think he realized, his goal to take over from Obama...only means that the younger, more educated, hipper guy was there FIRST, and Trump is merely following in the…

Lol. My favorite might be when he attacked the author of the book that revealed Ivana’s rape claims “It’s incorrect and done by a guy without much talent… He is a guy that is an unattractive guy who is a vindictive and jealous person.”

I don’t know that this would have made a difference, there really seemed to be a reticence to accept what all these stories are telling us, no one likes a predator.

Also, he apparently wants to be his late mother, or at least her hairstyle anyway - where’s Freud on that? http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-beauty/news/donald-trump-and-his-late-mom-mary-had-identical-hairstyles-w431314

Yup. And sociopaths project their own distasteful ugly characteristics onto others, accusing others of their own misdeeds...

The projection is constant. And one topic that stands out is all his complaints that the election was rigged, that Hillary and her cabal were making indecent things happen. Was that just posturing, so that if he lost he could say he was right all along? Or was that also in fact projection...hmmm.

I agree with you that the media helped this to happen, absolutely. They avoided major, relevant news stories that were fact-based and should have had coverage. They deserve the full weight of shame for that. But no one deserves to be poisoned, if that’s what happened to Megyn Kelly.
