VERY INTERESTING! My husband has long wanted to tell Hillary she should have turned around and told Trump to go back to his side. I can see Harris doing it, but not Hillary.

I recall her saying she wish she had rebuked him then & there.

I hate when that happens to me....something happens & I drive myself crazy with...dammit why didn't I do this or that. You get stunned. I was once walking into Shopko & this idiot was coming out & he screamed at me, like a bully..."That's not the right door, it's the other door" or some such & I just looked confused & went in...but boy I was mad for hours after that...how dare he & I should've told him to shut up, etc.. etc..

Happens to me a lot, too. I wish I had said something at the time, but didn't because I didn't want to offend them or start an argument, but if I had spoken up then, the problem might've been solved, but instead it continues.

Same thing with lost opportunities from failing to act when it would've made a difference.

Well, thanks to the obsessive press stalking her & Pres. Clinton....she doesn't want to start a feeding frenzy. I personally think she was as stunned as we all were. The "moderators" must have been also, but it was their responsibility to interrupt & say, "excuse me Mr. Trump...but you need to stay over on this side". They froze...as they have so many times since.

His predatory behaviors are going to get him a couple of very hard kicks in his “boys” when he least expects it and will whine about it, when he’s doubled over in pain on the floor-ground, providing he can speak. I’m surprised no one has ever considered that response, but it’s routinely taught to women in self-defense classes. It’s even in “Miss Congeniality “.

Fascinating. I watched the event live and didn't even catch the water grab. I would never have guessed that stealing food/drink from others was a sign of dementia. Thanks for sharing this insight.

I think the camera man understood that because (what I observed), when he first grabbed her bottle and tightened it, the camera man panned left (after he picked it up) to get a shot of his own water bottle on his table in that frame. I think that was a non-verbal “WTF is this guy doing?” camera moment!

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. He can no longer speak. I wonder how long the progression to that part of that will take for trump. Evidently the constant loose bowels may be part of it. And when he can no longer speak or even text, will the media et al cover it up???

Thank you for this explanation, Dr. Brown. This man must be kept far away from any office of public trust for the remainder of his life. I hope readers of your analysis will share it with those of their friends and family members who are contemplating voting for Trump in November.

Trump supporters are not swayed by facts or objective information. They are committed to him come heck or high water. They are invested and won’t back down and believe all his lies no matter how many times his lies are proved to be pants on fire lies.

You are undoubtedly correct in most instances, Pat Chubb. We have seen opinions change drastically in the past few days, however. It is to those people who are coming to a realization of how horribly they would fare under a Trump return that I address my personal efforts. Some are persuadable.

Isn't it also, passive-aggressive behavior, and sheer arrogance. He dismisses these women, except the Fox host, who gloated over him. It was embarrassing to watch. I only saw clips, I couldn't stomach to watch the whole 30+ min show. He lied, and lied and lied, and they all barely stopped him, or corrected him.

Certainly cowardly behavior but he is afraid. It must be terrifying if his brain is malfunctioning but he so mean to others it is hard to feel sympathy.

Forcing his spit on her without consent is the same angry violence of rape. He’s getting vengeance for her “nasty” question right out of the gate. The only means he has other than his words to bring harm to her in that setting. It isn’t rocket science. Once people grasp that his ego is made of egg shells and vengeance is his only modus operandus the world can heal from the trauma he has delivered to all of us repeatedly.

First thing is to apply pressure to the gushing artery. Keep the power of POTUS in the hands of the benevolent Harris and out of the control of the malevolent trump and his goons! Stop the hemorrhaging and then we can start to heal. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I maintain that “Weird” doesn’t quite hit the target. Creepy, on the other hand, is on point.

Yes- weird is just too tame. Creepy is better, however, as we move along, the dems might need to make the language fit the actions of Trump and his demented (Miller anyone?) surrogates.

If you are an African American, and you are thinking of voting for trumpf, please think again! He’s the biggest racist this country has ever seen. He despises anyone who is not a Caucasian, Rich, White man ; except for his daughter ( he lusts for her and other young girls) , and MAYBE Melania ( cause no self- respecting white American woman would marry him). He had to buy his wives…He hates blacks, women and immigrants!

Be aware of how much and often, he speaks in Projections. Keep a running tally of the # of times in each and every event & speech he uses a projection. Have a buzzer to press connected to a visible Screen with a Numbered Counter to Add + To the Rising Total Tally Number. As each new Projection is Spoken the Buzzer goes BZZZZZZ, in a sound proof Booth that the Audience can see, as the 1, 2, ….40, 50, 99, 159— and on and on until his 899th or the Event or Speech is Finally Over.

Then the Total of Lies or Projections are Revealed. They Can be Used to Show, along side a Clock with Seconds as well as minutes, that is visible on the wall, That’s Been Visible Next to the Counter, The Entire time: so Exactly where on the Video of the Event of Speech Recorded, will Need to be Played Back to Review, each moment DJT stated a LIE and/ or a Projection. To REFUTE his unconsciousness, faulty memories, or habit of denialism. And Enablers, rampant Denials. FACTS are FACTS, PROOF is PROOF.

Knowing his antics, I think he tightened the bottle to make it difficult for her to open. When she didn’t try to open so he get she her what a man he is by opening it for her, he further devolves to a bigger asshole and drinks her water. He is scum and so are his voters, all of them.

All of his attention was focused left. That water bottle was in his field of vision, and everything he sees is his. Much of his thirst was a manifestation of stress, and stress (bordering on panic) also limited his ability to consider peripheral issues, like social considerations and niceties that, for him, require conscious attention.

He had to walk past the water on his way to his seat and guaranteed he was told where his water was. He’s a prick, period

I think he cannot see peripherally to his right , cannot see he has a water bottle. So he assumes oh , I do t have one. “Can I take this one?” He’s unsure , so he places it back - then eventually takes it , thinking, he’s the guest. I don’t really think it’s so improper - I do agree he has a medical diagnosis , bc he really cannot see in the periphery . And that’s part of the dementia , the vision deficits ( ?) lewey body (?) or other
