Trump calls Lawyer who wanted to pump breast milk, "Disgusting"

[whitehall]

Media Matters never sleeps (thank you John McCain). Ever see a celebrity or a pop star or a T.V. host or a female news anchor pump breast milk in public? Would anyone like to see Katlin Jenner try it (talk about disgusting)? Nursing a baby is one thing but setting up a freaking breast pump in a restaurant is disgusting. Maybe the T.V. executives and news anchors are being hypocritical when they criticize Trump. While I'm at it, anybody think selling body parts gleaned from dead babies isn't disgusting? Apparently Barry Hussein thinks nothing of it.

Trump seems to have a women problem - especially with ones who aren't subservient.

I expect Trump's kids were probably nursed by a woman the "very rich" man bought to pump milk. "Disgusting..."

If Katlin Jenner tried: they'd have to pump on something else. but then he'd probably enjoy it and ruin his new character he's playing

JimH52 - good thread, man. Well done!


I'm gonna forget all the possible umbrage on one side about these comments and even more umbrage on the other side about someone digging deep enough to bring these comments to light. Put umbrage to the side for a second.

I am going to comment on strategema, and I doubt anyone can disagree with this:

1.) Trump is a very, very wealthy businessman who is used to getting things his way. Ok, I'm cool with that.
I don't think anyone in the room can dispute that.

2.) Trump is a very direct speaker. Whether or not anyone thinks he is way over the top or is just "telling it the way it is" is irrelevant. He is a very blunt speaker who often blurts out stuff, very unscripted. I'm cool with that as well and I don't think anyone in the room can dispute that, either.

3.) Trump's strategic blunder is in thinking that no one is going to dig around in his past. Well, hell, oppos have been digging into the Clintons' past for 24 years now, with no end in sight. Birfers have gone so batshit crazy that they even try to follow every moment of his dead mom's life in order to paint her as a whore. It's been pretty disgusting, but that's usually how oppo research goes. If Trump thinks that his great wealth is going to keep him free from scrutiny, he had better think again. This is just the tip of the iceberg and surely, more such revelations are going to come out. It's obvious that Trump is not thinking that anyone is going to do oppo reseach on his, because for the second time in one week, both he and his attorney(s) have been caught totally off-guard. Had they expected some harsh oppo research, then they would have already been prepared for these moments, n'est ce pas?

4.) The other point (or blunder) is that Trump opened himself up for this with the very first "rapist" comment at his announcement speech. And then stuff about his purportedly having raped his then wife is regurgitated. True or untrue (the story,I mean), Trump's attorney, who apparently isn't all that smart after all, said the stupid stuff about "you can't rape your wife" and then had to walk it back, but even he, like Trump, was very brazen and combative in his retraction. And then we hear about the breast-milk-pump stuff. Again, it's not so bad that he finds it bad that a woman pumps for her baby. That's his thing. I don't care. But that he flipped out at a meeting and treated a FEMALE lawyer that badly when the entire thing, including the break for her to pump breast-milk, was already pre-arranged, which implies that Trump must have known beforehand, makes him look very woman-unfriendly. And if Trump did not know about it and was caught off guard, then he should have fired his attorney at the time, for it would have been his attorney's job to keep Trump informed, right?

5.) It's all about Strategema and Intent vs. Perception, folks.

A person may intend one thing, but if the rest of the world perceives something else, then all of the best intentions can still pave a nice, shiny road that goes straight to Hell.

6.) All of this stuff in happening in a cycle where the assumed DEM nominee is going to be a woman and who is already crushing the GOP in the female voter wherever she goes.

I don't think anyone can disagree with that, either.

So, we have a candidate, Trump, who has called Mexicans (not just illegal immigrants, mind you) "rapists". Then, stuff about him maybe having brutally raped his wife comes back up and his attorney fucks the situation up even more with the totally false statement that "you can't rape your wife" and then walks that statement back in a way that will cause practically no one in the world to believe his retraction. Then, we find out that Trump is so disgusted with a natural function of a woman's body during the first year or so of her newborn child's life that he storms out of a meeting because she, an attorney, deigned to pump breast milk, in spite of the fact that this was stipulated in the agreement beforehand. That's pretty pathetic. What does that say about his attitude about women, and more importantly, working women?

These things, put together, start to paint a picture of a man who hates women and guaranteed, Robby Mook, who is Clinton's campaign manager, will find a way to make this absolutely devastating for the entire cast and crew of GOP '16 if they don't distance themselves from this immediately.

Can you say "Todd Akin on steroids"?

Perhaps these things that have happened are a good reason why a totally unscripted campaign is not such a good idea, after all.

i would not be surprised in the slightest if these comments help Trump even father in the GOP nomination race, but they are guaranteed to hurt the GOP tremendously in the GE. GOP red-meat = GE poison-pill.

I'm just about to make a bold prediction:

if this shit continues, then you will very likely see Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in 2016, as soon as she has sewn-up the Democratic nomination, meeting with REPUBLICAN womens' groups all over the place, in places like Kansas, Nebraska, Georgia, etc.... and she will likely to get endorsements from some Republican womens' groups. Not all of them, but maybe some.

I am really very sure that, if this kind of hateful rhetoric continues, we are going to see this. Mark my words.

Time for serious input:

Derideo_Te - while you read so well for discernment
Mertex - because you can probably voice it better than I
Luddly Neddite - ditto
Pogo - because you love Strategema as much as I, baseball fan!
LoneLaugher - because your eyes often spot what no one else sees
Sonny Clark - because you are a sane MIDDLE-Winger
g5000 - because you are a brillant Rightwinger
rightwinger - cuz you could have said it in 10 words or less!
Toro - so you can hang onto this "almost" prediction and place a bet!

Pass the word: it's about strategema

7.) Trump isn't a serious candidate.

I find Trump entertaining like a carnival or circus. Of course I want him to bite the dust - but I'm just not sure when I want that to happen. I think maybe I'd like for him be the 2nd man standing and then see the look of defeat on his face. Maybe his ego will explode his head before then.

I mean we can talk about the appropriateness of a breast pump in public and the use of the word disgusting but I gotta tell you that any guy who claims to be aroused by the use of freaking breast pump needs professional help or counseling from a fellow 12 year old.
