President Trump and Porn Star
How is one to assess the endless “porn star and Donald Trump” saga since it became “breaking news” for the last month or so? Is It worthy of the media investment? Will it be the straw that breaks the Teflon coating so lavishly administered by Trump diehards? Not on your life! It ranks at about the same level as having just discovered the wheel.
Yes, there may be some legal questions involving a campaign contribution and lying but don’t hold your breath---those are but tiny drops in the ocean of Trumps personality disorder---whether has consensual sex with one or a dozen adult women.
He is a dishonest person, raised in a cocoon of wealth that facilitated and enhanced his bullying tendencies and gravitation to self-aggrandizement and hyperbole. He is a pathological liar. He doesn’t read. He is factually ignorant and admitted making things up.
In normal speech, without the aid of speechwriters or adult coaches, he has the vocabulary and syntax of a 12-year-old. He views women from that juvenile mind— “You can grab them by their pussy.”
His seventy years have codified these elements with an impenetrable bubble of narcistic personality disorder (NPD) in which he lives every moment ---and to which he dedicates every action.
Trump once said metaphorically (though that word is not in his vocabulary) that he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and his supporters would not desert him. That is precisely what his core supporters swear by when questioned about the sum of his behavior so far. As a Republican Chairwoman put it recently, vowing her continued support, I voted for him because he could turn the economy around and be financially good for working people.
That is roughly the equivalent of saying “Well, yes, my husband gropes women, screws around, uses foul language, lies all the time and mostly watches TV about himself---- but, he pays the rent and gives me an allowance. That’s why I’m sticking with him.”
