<< This will be Trump’s justification to go the distance on SATANIZING Bill who is his opponent’s spouse. Turnabout is fair play. Historically this is how Trump picks fights. He has done this at least 17 times in the last 12 months that I can put together. His tactic: Get the opposition to throw the first punch that fails to fully connect... then cave their face in... with no mercy. >>
That’s a plausible analysis, one that fits with the yr-long pattern we’ve seen as Donald systematically took out his opponents: Dance around the edges until he is attacked, then unload both barrels on his rival. Except this time with Hillary it’s a little more complex because the media protects her so well. If he can justify inclusion of the spouses, he can parade all the sexual assault victims who must be begging to help him bury this Clinton Crime Family.
(If I’m not mistaken in my timeline, that’s how he brought in Ted’s wife, by defending his wife’s honor after the modeling photo of Melania was used. I don’t remember who published the photo but Donald sure didn’t waste time responding, did he? Am I remembering the sequence accurately?)
I’ll even take it one step further: Donald himself wrote her speech and planted the phrases in there, with Melania’s consent. Think about it: Would Donald J Trump trust some hired speech writer for such a crucial job? No way, no how; not in a million years. When I listened to her speech, I even listened to it with that thought the entire time — “Let’s see what Donald wrote about himself.” I had wanted a speech peppered with at least a few personal, intimate anecdotes about their personal life, as did half of America. That’s what women do: We emotionalize things, especially when we want to brag on our loved ones. But there were no anecdotes because men, especially The Donald, don’t usually do that.
Depending on how this plays out, I predict Donald will officially begin the Hildabeast dehumanizations process on Thursday night, even if it’s mild. If nothing else, he has set up a situation where half the world will be tuned in to see if he defends his wife’s honor.
Go ahead, CNN and fellow Clinton knee pad sycophants. Talk about this for the next 3 days. Make our day!
See my response at 254. Donald is too smart to farm her speech out to amateurs. So if you can entertain the thought that he, Manafort, and Melania wrote it, then think outside the box and ask yourself “Why would they do this?”
Donald is a big/long-term thinker. Remember that. And despite his reputation for being “impulsive,” I’m convinced that’s a cover, at least to some extent. A useful analogy: The wise person never underestimates blondes, especially the ones who identify as female. And wise blonde females take delight when it happens; it makes it easier to reach the desired outcome. :-)
