Best analysis of Trump-yells-at-baby question I've read yet

[Ellen Forradalom]

in a public Facebook post by one Amadi Lovelace.

In talking about Trump and the baby, people seem to be focusing on the idea of "who yells at a baby?" And it is kind of in line with our questions about his temperament to frame this as Trump yelling at a baby.

But he didn't yell at a baby. He yelled at a woman who had a baby.

And more importantly, he didn't just yell at her, he gaslighted her, telling her at first that it was OK that her baby was fussing, and then acting like she was nuts for taking him at his word and should have somehow divined magically that he actually wanted her to leave.

This was an example of three horrible things all wrapped up in one. First, Trump's tendency toward doublespeak, saying one thing, meaning the exact opposite and acting like everyone else is bizarre and ignorant for taking his words at face value. Second, the aforementioned gaslighting, which is an always an abuse tactic, full out.

1. Good deeper analysis.

I think he fundamentally loathes women.

3. I think he believes we are on this earth for a single purpose.

Other than that, we're useless and therefore worthless.

4. Perhaps in his tortured mind he realizes that...

motherhood is the one thing women have that he cannot. It drives him crazy that lowly women can do something he can't.

Sound insane? Sure, but it's becoming clear he is insane.

6. Has anyone written about his relationship

With his mother?

I don't recall seeing much about that.

10. He strangely resembles her

Including the hair. There is a story there--I am sure

2. Completely agree.

5. I agree but what's disturbing

I know Donald Trump is an egotistical asshole and maybe a sociopath, but what's disturbing to me watching that whole thing unfold is the way the crowd cheers for him to humiliate her. I mean I understand they are racists who hate the president but WTF? Its a young mother with a child who is one of their own. The blindness with which they follow his chaotic personality whims is scary.

7. My coworker

Has said he wants to 'beat the shit out of' the parents of a crying baby on a flight he and his family were on. Now keep in mind he has young children too. Don't underestimate the selfishness of human nature.

11. Oh yeah, it's always full-on attack mode

when it's someone else with a typical and expected aspect of parenting. But, when they are on the receiving end, somehow they expect everyone to understand.

It shouldn't surprise me that forced-birthers actually despise being around small children.

8. Trump yells at a baby...

Has a better ring to it

[Augiedog]

9. Is taking a baby to a lunatics rally child abuse?

12. best question yet!

I say yes... I had the chance to go to his event today but I don't believe in self-flagellation in any form and I certainly wouldn't take children...

13. Voters this is the actions of a mental ill man, old and senile. set in his ways.

Nobody can change his messages. It is his believes, even though the RNC is being destroyed. The GN and Republicans stand by, continuing to support this mentally ill clown and see the party go into destruction.
