Walked in on teenagers changing at beauty pageants, talked about grabbing women by the pussy, loomed over Hillary Clinton in the debates, raped E. Jean Carroll.
This should surprise no one. He is a giant piece of shit.
That's what so many love about him, though. The general message at that time was that Obama meant we were post-racial (even though his election drove conservatives to madness) and that it was "her turn" when it came to Hillary. Yeah, I didn't really like the messaging around that, either.
But the racists and misogynists were fuming and fuming all during the 90s (Hillary being talked about as a co-President possibly made them even crazier than having to abide a black President did) and then during Obama's 8 years as virtually everyone ignored their stupid "long firm birth certificate" demands.
When tiny d donnie came along and started saying and doing all the shit they say and do in private, because he's supposedly a bigly billionaire who didn't give a flying fuck about social norms because he has fuck-you money, they could not get enough. If Romney and McCain were their methadone, donnie is their China White.
They view donnie as the guy that put both Obama and Hillary "in their place".
