Well, what can we expect. He salaciously admired both his daughters' breasts, the younger one when she was just a baby. (He was, cough, anticipating.)
He's really creepy.

(16,616 posts)It's just awful. I wonder if it was in front of other people, at some family function... It raises all sorts of questions.
Giving her underwear, too, is just inappropriate and strange not to mention cheap.

(3,607 posts)After the election, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un, and Mitch McConnell, all of whom bear more than a passing psychological resemblance to Fred, recognized in a way others should have but did not that Donalds checkered personal history and his unique personality flaws make him extremely vulnerable to manipulation by smarter, more powerful men, Mary writes. His pathologies have rendered him so simple-minded that it takes nothing more than repeating to him the things he says to and about himself dozens of times a dayhes the smartest, the greatest, the bestto get him to do whatever they want.

(7,813 posts)limited, small human being...and extremely dangerous because of the power given to him. How long before we find out all the myriad ways his pathologies have enriched his family and endangered the US? Because I don't see him doing much else...
In light of this information, I hope people, who haven't been paying attention so far, revisit all the stories of his vindictiveness (McCabe fired one day before pension activated for example), demand of loyalty, thumb on the scale of justice, paying for hiding truth, mysterious fondness for evil dictators, habitual lying, threats of turning the power of the WH against critics, threats against the media, calls for violence, enlisting foreign adversaries for personal gain, and determined efforts to undermine competing authority and institutions (WHO, Inspectors General, NATO, congress, scientists, DOJ, governors, EU, etc etc).
I especially hope those entrusted with 25th amendment remedies think hard about the last 4 years, given what they now know. No excuses for not protecting your country. Anyone think Trump cares about fair elections or even elections in general? Or does anyone think he won't burn everything down to protect himself psychologically, physically, legally?
(Where's Bolton? Kelly? Sessions? Ryan? Cohen? Won't someone lay it out for those not paying attention? I don't think they really have, so far)
