It seems impossible to me, but I detest Donald Trump more and more each day. How could he, as I watched the Republican Party's number one presidential candidate, behave as boorishly as I expected him to behave during last Thursday's big debate, manage to top (or bottom) himself the following day? When Trump is "attacked," as he puts it, he attacks back with middle or high school maturity-level insults. He did not like Megyn Kelly's debate question about his attitudes towards women. He told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday that "You could see there was blood coming out of her [Kelly's] eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."
Trump had been scheduled to give the keynote speech the following day at Erick Erickson's event for GOP presidential candidates in Atlanta, but Erickson drew a line and went back on his invitation to the vile leading Republican candidate, explaining, "I've got my wife here, I've got my daughter here. It's a family-friendly program..."
Trump attacked: "[Erickson] is a total loser [who] has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event."
Saturday morning--I'm picturing him sitting on one of his toilets--he clarified on Twitter that by "blood coming out of her wherever," he meant, "NOSE [all caps his]."
Later that morning he issued a statement saying, "Only a deviant would think anything else."
My obvious question to him would then be, "Are you calling yourself a deviant?"
Trump defenders might now be relieved to say, "Oh, he meant Megan Kelly's nose! Not her vagina! He wasn't implying that she was having her period! He just thought she should tilt her head back because that's what one does for a nosebleed!"
Among Trump's colleagues, I'm aware that Mike Huckabee, Lindsay Graham, Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, and Jeb Bush condemned Trump's words about Kelly. Marco Rubio, interviewed Sunday by Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, protested that if he had to comment on Trump's statements he'd never be able to talk about anything else. He didn't say that it would've taken him three and a half seconds to say, "It was an insensitive and inappropriate thing to say about a woman." So go fuck yourself, Marco Rubio.
Ted Cruz remarked, "I think every candidate should treat everyone [else] with civility and respect. It's a standard I try to follow." Please remember he called Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor, violating rules of decorum. "I don't think we're going to solve the problems in this country by obsessing over the politics of personality..." Go fuck yourself, Ted Cruz.
Defending a woman's honor used to mean something more than tweeting one's disappointment in the statements made by a wealthy scumbag who projects his media-created personality at the chumps who feed on it, and then pretend to be shocked by it even as its creator develops new ways to make decent people sick in their hearts. Rubio and Cruz couldn't be bothered to spend a few seconds condemning Trump's disrespect for a woman, but also towards a moderator in a debate he was invited to participate in.
I'll take up some of the slack created by weak politicians competing with Trump by addressing Megyn Kelly--not that she's likely to read this:
What Donald Trump said and wrote about you is unforgivable. As harsh as that seems, bear in mind that Trump is a psychopathic narcissist who loves himself so much that he can never apologize for readily crafted insults, and never behave humbly, making it impossible for him ever to be worthy of forgiveness, except by saints or those willing to confuse forgiveness with forgetfulness. Your relevant question about his words and attitudes about women set him off. His subsequent gripes about you in interviews and tweets show the nerve you touched. He's guilty of what you pointed out. Good job. You helped further demonstrate that Donald Trump is a disgusting piece of shit. Thank you.
