I awakened thinking that on top of being insane, [View all]

He has the weirdest hang-ups I personally have ever witnessed.

The hair and makeup are almost the least of the issues with him. This running water thing with showers and toilets is grounded in some real Freudian issues: urinary incontinence or flow issues I am virtually certain play a big role in his life , and I would venture to say that his psychological makeup includes involuntary defecation not necessarily due to drugs or diet, but to sheer lack of will to excuse himself and rush off to a toilet. There are a fair number of people who suffer from this humiliating condition, I knew one personally when I was in high school. The lack of control over ones own waste is a statement and if the stories about the pee tapes are true, then it is a validation of his excretory habits: women peeing on themselves and a bed or rug are identifiable and reassuring to him.

Thus the gold toilet: it’s not just gaudiness: it is a statement that his excretory functions play a large role in his life and the receptacle is thus hallowed ground.

I could go on and on about his speaking style, word choice, clothing, elevator shoes, obsession with golf and cheating thereof (another megalomaniac who cheated at golf was Goldfinger in the Fleming book of the same name), food choices, heavy drug usage while claiming he’s never ever used, compulsive lying...each of these deserves its own chapter in a book, but what really interests me is the Stormy Daniels escapade.

I’m going to speak frankly. She is a professional: she acted in films which depict explicit sexuality and actors in which participants are chosen expressly for specific attributes. It’s like professional wrestling: it may be acting but you have to have the qualifications and the physique at that level to successfully participate. Also, as in any theatrical milieu, it’s a job with a script, it isn’t the actor’s or actress”s persona on the screen. They’re human beings. Now given the apparent shortcomings of this man whom we are discussing, why would he place himself in a position wherein he would be ridiculed by this professional woman who knows her way around the block very well? It would be as though an owner of a baseball team put himself at shortstop for 162 games just because he can. It has the potential for terrible embarrassment and what’s more: you can bet he has watched lots and lots of pornography over his lifetime and practices sex antithetically to how it’s is generally scripted: some manner of physical foreplay followed by many minutes of conjugation. This is the societal definition of sex, and most people practice a variant of this, with mixed results, but a game try nevertheless. He is according to Ms Daniels, inept in every metric of this skill set. He therefore has an eight year old male’s vision of sex: you wriggle around and finish quickly because it feels good.

Many years ago you may recall the headline in the NY tabloid that Marla Maples said it was the best sex she ever had. I knew even back then that it was a lie planted by his publicist or him, or he paid her to say that. It was such an obvious PR stunt. And thus another lie. And that is just how it works with him: a pyramid of lies which is going to implode shortly. This is one psychologically strange individual whose personal habits and pathological obsessions are not fully realized or plumbed but I would submit that there are many loads of laundry with extra bleach and Lysol in the washing machine.

Of course he has everyone sign NDA’s because these types of incidents reveal the true nature of this individual: narcissistic sociopath with untold numbers of pathologies associated and now, due to collapse of his world, a likely psychotic episode in progress.

And I have but scratched the surface.
