So we saw today the real person inside

Crumb the 1st peek out and nearly lose control. The way he jabbed his finger and leaned forward as he name called the female reporter on the plane was him almost totally losing it. Now you see a glimpse into what it must be like in private when he goes into his reported tantrums and tirades of throwing things. Sadly I've been around people like this before who were a controlled "act" when in public but the minute the door was closed and they were in private an animal that was raging inside came out.

So we get a glimpse of what he was like with Ms. Carroll and we see what he would have been like towards these young girls if they refused him. It's more than just intimidation or typical bullying. It is an expression and release of rage. Yes I've known people who flew into a rage if they didn't get their way etc. over even simple things. Scary as hell. Victims of domestic violence are sadly all too familiar with this sort of thing. These kinds of men often raise children to be "copies" of themselves to a degree because Daddy gives them approval and validation when they act similarly towards siblings and others.

These monsters are usually in control of the "act" when they are in public but under tons of stress they can have an outburst like we saw today and if the stress is bad enough they can snap entirely. I have little doubt that if he had been alone with that reporter it would have gone even more overboard than just the brief moment he had with her. I believe it would have gone into very close range nose to nose screaming at her for a long time.

That's the real person coming out. The rest is an act.

The theory that the files were voted to be released because they are fixed and cover for Trump and will hang dems

tremendous stress over it whether "fixed" or not. I think he is in a bind here either way because the victims aren't going away and if the files contradict what they know to be the truth of what they know the pressure isn't going away.

3. Indeed. There's no way, even if framing Dems is the plan and seems well in hand, that he is resting easy

If there's one thing that asshat KNOWS, it's crime-ing. Therefore he knows that when you're doing crime, shit can go sideways very quickly, and without warning.

However, there's also the fact that he's a raging pathological narcissist who HATES being questioned, about anything, and ESPECIALLY when a woman is doing so.

And really, really, SUPER hates it if said woman doesn't look a fashion model to him.

So I'm not sure there's a direct line with what's going on with the files, and his outburst today. He's pretty much acted exactly like this for a long ass time toward any woman who questions him about anything. Cause he's a misogynist fucking dick.

Wait!!!

And that's the point. The point was to keep it quiet. More will come out from many sources. The "omerta" is broken.

I just did what Men in Black did. I checked the tabloids before all the tabloids will front-page it.

"Pass it fast so it will fade". No. It's too big and too juicy.


I found this on the web.



I took it and posted it. My phone camera is in the EXIF. I remember taking it and cropping it.

Small world.

those of us with critical thinking skills have always seen him for what he is, a truly pathetic buffoon

Should have clued most in… We wouldn’t be where we are today if it had. Trump has no control over himself and never has.

11. And we wouldn't be where we are today if so many who could have done something hadn't enabled him six ways from Sunday.

He is a raging monster inside, a brutal psychopath.
