TRUMP To Breast Feeding Mom “You’re disgusting”

[kpete]

Donald J. Trump seemed irritated. He had been grilled for two hours in a lawsuit over a failed Florida real estate project, and he told the lawyer that her questions were “very stupid.”

When the lawyer, Elizabeth Beck, asked for a medical break, Mr. Trump and his lawyers objected, demanding that the deposition continue. Ms. Beck said it was urgent — she needed to pump breast milk for her 3-month-old daughter, and she took the pump out to make her point.

Mr. Trump erupted.

“You’re disgusting,” he told Ms. Beck, in a remark that is not disputed by either side. He then walked out of the room, ending the testimony for the day.

1. he's proved time and again that he doesn't have the patience for the decorum of POTUS

truth be told, the President probably spends much of their time bored out of their mind, trying to discretely look at their watch to see how much longer they have to endure some ceremony that means much to the person involved, but just another lap on the merry-go-round to the president

and while many people think of etiquette as something a person must show the president (or queen of england), that etiquette has to be given back by the president, or it's an instant international incident

Trump just doesn't have the temperament for it, and anyone concerned about him being president is worrying needlessly - there's no way it will happen. he'll either realize how much he really doesnt want it, or he will implode before he gets there

i trust the mechanisms are there to weed out someone like him - we haven't had a nero......yet

[Initech]

19. His campaign is nothing more than a distraction.

There's nothing real about Trump's campaign. Nothing. Even his announcement was phony. He's only doing this to inflate his ego. He is a truly horrible person who isn't fit to be president of anything.

[Ikonoklast]

61. Trump will drop out before the deadline to disclose his financials.

He did the exact same thing last time...he dropped out *one day* before the required documents had to be filed.


Trump will never be president, he knows the current polls are meaningless (See: President Cain) is doing this to stroke his massive ego and make money off of the rubes.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. What is it going to take to pop the Trump bubble?

1. He explicitly insults John McCain as though McCain was perpetuating a fraud upon the public by not disavowing others calling him a war hero.

2. He rapes his wife and sends out a representative who doesn't know the law about marital rape, but also has the rape victim do what most rape victims do: deny it happened, that their claims were misinterpreted, the rapist is really a wonderful guy.

3. He insults the attorney for his adversary by calling her questions "stupid" (is that contempt of court?) and by deeming her need to provide nourishment for her infant as "disgusting". (He has 5 children and none of them were provided with breast milk?)


How much more acceptance and absorption of this kind of crap are we going to endure and for how much longer?

[Warpy]

7. Children of extreme wealth don't get breast milk

Back in the bad old days, the kid would be handed off to another nursing mother, a "wet nurse," so the mother would have her own milk dry up and be fertile again more quickly.
Now they're handed off to first nurses and then nannies for bottle feeding so the arm candy can get back to being arm candy as quickly as possible.

Of course that man thinks anything to do with biology except where to put his dick is disgusting, anything that inconveniences him is disgusting.

[CanonRay]

8. Why pop his bubble

He's killing the GOP...he's the best weapon we have. And if by some miracle he gets their nomination, either Hillary or Bernie will crush him. Keep the asshole talking for as long as he'll talk.

[exboyfil]

10. At first I thought he was a stalking horse for Jeb

but more and more he is looking like Frankenstein's monster. The creation is out of control. I may even caucus for him (yes I am still a registered Republican in Iowa) to help keep the ball rolling.

[CanonRay]

11. He IS the GOP message right now

and it' not a pretty one. Please, go caucus for him...keep that comb-over front and center.

[hifiguy]

28. The blind, enraged monster is tearing the castle down on top of

the collection of Dr. Frankensteins. It's a beautiful sight.

[phantom power]

12. This isn't a bubble. He's quite popular with the GOP base, because that's who they are.

They aren't suddenly going to realize he's an asshole. That's a feature, not a bug.

[hifiguy]

29. The Dumpster says out loud what EVERY OTHER denizen of the klown kar

actually thinks in private. it is existentially hilarious in many ways.

[laundry_queen]

47. I know, right?

That's exactly it. I think it's funny too. The media confusion cracks me up even more.

[joshcryer]

50. It's that 33% of the GOP base that is absolutely insane.

And they fucking love Trump. This is an irreconcilable issue that that base has. Trump can string it out for quite some time. He may not have the on the ground acumen that others have in the initial caucus / primary states, but he can last if he wants.

[smirkymonkey]

59. And they are the people that scare me more than he does.

It's the fact that there are so goddamn many of them that is really horrifying1

[Raster]

57. "That's a feature, not a bug."

[Adrahil]

14. I say let it ride!!!

He's not done destroying the GOP in national elections yet. And it would b e nice if some of his scum rubs off on down ballot elections too.

[LeftyMom]

43. Nursing with aftermarket breasts is difficult, at best

I'd be surprised if any of his wives were using the factory equipment. Nothing against them for it, but he's got a type and it's not subtle natural beauty.

[maddiemom]

53. To be fair to Ivana, there WAS some "there" there and personal accomplishment.

When all was said and done, a big settlement took preference, but she had that coming.

[StandingInLeftField]

55. As another DU'er posted in another thread...

Remember that Adolph Hitler was dismissed as a lunatic.

See where that got us?

[MADem]

3. Was he being deposed at an OLIVE GARDEN? That would be PERFECT!!!

He's an idiot. This is just one more nail in his coffin.

[Brother Buzz]

13. My demented mind went there, too

GMTA

[MADem]

15. Heh, heh!!! nt

[awoke_in_2003]

32. The breast milk wasn't really for her baby

It was for her pit bull

[MADem]

33. Heh heh heh....

Oh wait....not THIS pitbull, surely....?

[awoke_in_2003]

35. You never know

The world is a strange place. There is even lactating mom porn out there, or, at least, so I hear

[MADem]

36. OMG--why do I think Diaper-boy Vitter is a prime consumer?

http://wonkette.com/277270/diaperman-david-vitter-likes-his-diapers

There's an unintentionally hilarious ad at the start of that grouping of ads at that link...!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. The only thing disgusting is Donald Chump.

[NightWatcher]

5. Women, older vets, Latinos, check check check

Who is he going to offend next?

[a kennedy]

6. Oh yah, this is the guy some want as leader of the free world.

[Historic NY]

9. Looks like he's the " The Exaggerator"...

based on his testimony vs the actual facts.

[Blue Owl]

16. Trump's the real boob in this tale

n/t

[Arugula Latte]

17. Feeding babies milk so they don't die -- now that is one disgusting practice. The outrage!

[spooky3]

58. Yeah, everyone knows that their only purpose is to help win Miss USA pageants.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. Somebody in that room was disgusting, but it wasn't Ms Beck

[backscatter712]

20. I'm more than happy to make the GOP own this shithead. n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. This is the guy who talked about dating his own daughter.

[Dont call me Shirley]

22. Ms Beck to Trump, "You're disgusting!"

[spanone]

23. we're starting to see a little more of the real donald

it won't be pretty. he's left a deep & wide slime trail behind him and a tons of bad karma

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. This makes no sense to me. Sure, he's an asshole. Check. But, I just can not understand

why an attorney who was doing a deposition didn't plan ahead for the nursing needs. She must have forgotten?

[crim son]

25. I have wondered the same thing and

all I can think of, having been a nursing mom and not even being a lawyer at the same time is, YES, she probably forgot. But it's also possible she had other motives that had nothing to do with pumping breast milk and Trump was calling her on it, which is what his supporters claim.

Either way, the man lacks tact, dignity and class.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Hmmm...She was on MSNBC with the pump - talking about how the equipment was

not offensive. Which made me think - at the time - she showed him. I don't know....the guy's a lunatic - but if you saw her - you would definitely think ulterior motive. On the other hand, she said he lied and acted like it was just a 2 hr deal with him - but she had depositions all day long. Probably a little bit of asshole crossed with a little bit of provocation??

[Beaverhausen]

26. I read it was a pre-planned break but Trump didn't want to

Stop.

[Laffy Kat]

37. Ummm, she DID plan ahead.

The break was planned. You can't just tell your breast milk to "wait". You can only go so long, especially when you have a three-month old. They will generally still nurse every two to three hours and THAT'S when you need to pump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. did not know that... I didn't breast feed - and always thought you could pump and store up for a day

thanks for the education.

[Laffy Kat]

41. That's ok. The thing is:

If you stop pumping when you need to, you will dry up--FAST. That's why it's such a challenge to continue breast-feeding while working. You keep putting it off an hour, then two, and before you know it, you got nothing.

[msanthrope]

56. You can do that....but your breasts will need pumping on a regular schedule. nt

[LeftyMom]

45. People have to take breaks every few hours for all sorts of reasons.

Hell, old men usually have to pee at least that often.

Somebody who requests a medical break really shouldn't have to explain the reason. What if the answer is that she has to replace her colostomy bag, or she needs to change her catheter regularly?

[zazen]

27. I'm thinking Trump is turning into the MRA/Pickup Artist candidate

His comments are straight out of their white male losers-who-hate-women, MRA pickup-artist asshole playbook. Wives can't be raped, breastfeeding is disgusting, women are just using their sexuality to manipulate men and are out for money, wives should be thrown out when they develop wrinkles (mostly from living with the stress of an abusive husband like him), yada yada yada.

This doesn't even touch on his anti-minority, anti-immigrant bile.

[hifiguy]

30. Walking out of a deposition is grounds for a contempt citation

or the imposition of costs, penalties and fines by a court.

[Tardigrade]

31. It's Official

Trump comes out against mothers' milk.
That should secure the nomination.

[Monk06]

34. Can you imagine how this guy would behave around Angela Merkel? He'd make Bushes shoulder rubs

look like high decorum.

[BainsBane]

40. You do that from a position of authority and it violates EEOC law

He has no legal liability here, but if he were his employer or in the government, he'd be open to another lawsuit. The man is an idiot.

[MisterP]

42. so he doesn't like seeing a big ol' tit flapping around in the open air to shock everyone, then

[Blue_In_AK]

44. What?

What are you trying to say? Her plan was to go into a private conference room to take care of this private business, not have a "big ol' tit flapping around."

[MisterP]

48. think about it--he has a ridiculously overblown reaction to a boob coming out ...

[LeftyMom]

46. He owns a beauty contest with a swimsuit competition.

He clearly has no problem with tits as long as they're purely ornamental.

Now hush, grown UPS are talking.

[Blue_In_AK]

49. Now, that part makes sense.

Trump is such a disgusting human being, it just boggles my mind that he's leading the Republican pack. What the hell is wrong with people?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

51. Please, please, please let the GOP nominate this man! NT.

[no_hypocrisy]

52. He wasn't disgusted. He wanted out of the deposition.

That was his excuse.

And she wasn't going to extract milk in front of him.

[Demeter]

54. I think Trump just blew himself out of the water--too bad!

I thought a matchup between him and Bernie would have been from the ridiculous to the sublime.

[C Moon]

60. I wish Trump would be more careful with his public displays: I want him to be the GOP's nomination!

If only we could somehow get him to reel it in until after he's nominated by the Republican party.
