    Imagine being such a miserable human being that you hold a grudge for 30 years over an unsuccessful business deal.

      You should look up Graydon Carter. But the tldr version, he’s a reporter who commented on Trumps baby hands, mentioned it waaaaay back in 1988, Trump would send him photos or pictures of his hands from magazines…for almost 30 years.

        It’s even better than that. He called Trump a “short fingered vulgarian” aka a common pickpocket. Trump didn’t get the phrase and thought Carter was saying he had small hands.

      As I point out over and over, it’s all actually clear evidence of the simple fact that he’s profoundly mentally ill.

      By any objective standard, the man is a raving lunatic, and deeply emotionally disturbed. He not only shouldn’t be president - he shouldn’t even be allowed out on his own. He needs extensive mental health care, or barring that, he needs to be kept away from any opportunity to do harm, because he self-evidently is incapable of moderating his own behavior into anything even vaguely approaching healthy.

      And the most insane and incomprehensible part of this timeline, to me, is that there are so many people who apparently can’t see that, when it’s so bludgeoningly obvious, or who can see it but pretend that they don’t.

      If I didn’t know better, I’d assume that somebody went out and found a smelly old derelict locked in an argument with God in a dirty alley somewhere, gave him a shave, a suit and a layer of bronzer, and made him president.
