I’m one of them.

Me too, Eve. I actually was undressed by the guy's eyes in real life. He stopped, surrounded by his security in Trump Tower Atlantic City, which dates this, and looked me up and down as if I were naked. I totally dissociated and my boyfriend who was sitting near by was laughing so hard I thought he would burst. He told me I had just blown off Trump, but it didn't have a real effect on me because I "wasn't really" there. It wasn't until he was elected that I felt like slapping him. Not that I consider this in any way a trauma. It was normal behavior for a lot of guys in the 80's. You had to put up with a lot more shit back then.

I was triggered by Trump because he reminds me of my mother, a racist, major narcissist predator. I had stopped drinking for 10 years and now I can't stay away from THC edibles. (Legal where I live) They help with my ptsd but are completely habit forming. My mother SA my sister and I. I have no clue about my brothers.

Yup, I understand that. I feel I'm watching P whenever I see him, it's weird. He looks kinda like P, but it's more than that. It's pretty f*cking distressing.

Then there is all that stuff with Ivanka that just makes me sick, not to mention everything else.
