News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

[hodge]

Whoah, I think hubby (who is currently at a movie) will be gratified to hear that CNN has a breaking news alert on their website right now that Melania has issued a statement saying that her husband's words are offensive to her. Good for her!

I'll post a link when it appears.

Go Melania! Here's a link: Link Removed

This is so funny and cute: https://youtu.be/ldfF6chin5s It is from this article: Son of Mary Poppins song creator is loving the hilarious 'Supercal' #NeverTrump parody

This is sad but very spot on assessment by Megyn Kelly BEFORE the 2005 video of Trump expressing he wants to sexually assult women: Megyn Kelly Tears Kellyanne Conway to Bits Over Trump’s History of Misogyny

I can't handle all the links yet, but read the first one. She started out strong, but she caved. This is a woman whose husband talked like this mere months after they got married. She must have her reasons, probably financial, I'm guessing. But I don't know. There's nothing I can say about that. It's their marriage.

When my therapist characterized Trump as an "abusive, narcissistic psychopath," I wasn't too sure about the abusive part. Not any more. She was right.

Grrr, I never considered that particular event in my life of being groped as traumatic, but now I keep having intrusive thoughts about it. Thanks, Trump :mad:

Omg. Just saw a massively triggering protest sign. (Yes, there are small protests in my city.)

The sign read: "Women, Trump wants to ....." (direct quote that does not need to be repeated).

I am so grossed out and I think I'm triggered. I was sitting on a bench a few blocks away and someone came up and I suddenly almost yelled at them, "don't touch me!" Thankfully my dog was there and I instinctively grabbed her.

Now I just keep thinking of the abuser that I had way too much experience with that was so much like Trump.

Hang on, JMH. We're here for you. I absolutely know how grossly disturbing this all is.

I've been venting in an email to my therapist. Is that an option for you?

 

[Justmehere]

Yeah, I think I need to reach out I her anyhow.

I'm also starting the #ewTrump hashtag movement. :)

 

[hodge]

Good. It's helping me. I know we'll probably still go over this same ground at my appt. on Monday, but I need to get it out now.

Good for you on starting that hashtag movement. I don't know anything about how to do hashtag. Can you give me a brief primer or direct me to a web primer?

I just add "#ewTrump" to any posts about Trump on social media - and I'm asking folks in a couple of former GOP / neverTrump groups to add it as well and a number of women are doing it. Maybe it will catch on! :) because ew. Trump.

What I don't get is why are these few stories suddenly gaining traction now and not sooner? Trump bragged about all this in his books. It's not really new info to the GOP and yet people are coming out in droves to remove him from the ticket. Now? Why now and not sooner?

The answer I have gotten back so far is one of the worst reasons: because now they are convinced he can't win.

They stood behind him even when they knew all this crap about him, because they thought he could win.
