Here is the story you need to run!
Trump just childishly tightened a black female journalist's water due to her hard questions!
Please don't let this not be covered!
End snip.
Video shows him reaching over the table to get reporter's water bottle and tighten the lid.
Weird.

Jeebus, I think he just lost more votes from the few who were going to vote for him.
But Rev Al said that Q45 intended to go on and insult them to show his minions that he disrespects them and that he has no intention to be civil to anyone who is black or asks him questions. With video clips.
Sounds about right.

I was shocked by the huge numbers of drugs being handed out, especially the fact some of them
were classic date rape drugs.

(2,493 posts)dandruff off of a world leader's shoulder? How about when he told the Italian leader his wife looked good for her age. How about pulling in another leader toward him with an aggressive handshake? this guy is a fucking joke!

(67,106 posts)Reaching over to tighten a woman's water bottle so she cannot easily open it.
Embarrasses her and makes her look weak.

(2,754 posts)then ask him to loosen it for them so he looks like a "hero." Gawd he makes me sick.
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)He waits until the woman is not looking and tightens the lid.
Then when she returns and cannot easily open it, he volunteers to "help" her.
He didn't think twice about it, look at him.
It was automatic.
It is a complete set up.
He sets up women over and over.
EJ Carroll in the dept store.
Stormy D in the hotel suite.
MorbidButterflyTat
(2,754 posts)That's exactly how I envisioned it.
He saw she wasn't looking his way and went right for it.

I thought that was what I saw too until I saw the context.
Or don't. Cheers!

(2,754 posts)If I had a platform I'd put that clip on a loop and play it non-stop.
Could some buff huge muscle guy confront him about that? Stand right in front of him and glare down at him until he cries.
Then I'd put that clip on an endless loop.

(657 posts)and couldn't open it. He wasn't aware of his own bottle, IMO.
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)A water bottle sitting across the table in front of another person is not theirs.
I think he could have opened the water bottle.
CANADIANBEAVER69
(657 posts)They really are so weird.
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)He has done it many times before.
Whatever the motive is.
And yes most of us do not reach across a table and take a water bottle sitting in front
of another person.
MorbidButterflyTat
(2,754 posts)He tightened the damn bottle when she wasn't looking. JFC
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)But I admit it could be interpreted differently.
Though it seems clear to me that if he grabbed the water bottle to take
a drink, he would have taken a drink.
Certainly he could get the cap off of a water bottle.
Unless his motor skills are severely impaired.
MorbidButterflyTat
(2,754 posts)If he was going to take a drink from a bottle he supposedly mistook for his own, why didn't he drink from it then?
The intention and act are clear.
It seems like whatever he does, someone will say, oh he didn't mean it, or, that's not what happened...well, maybe he was loosening it for her, in anticipation of her needing a sip of water.
He looked and acted like the disgusting buffoon he is, IMO.
CANADIANBEAVER69
(657 posts)He looked and acted like a disgusting buffoon that he is.
I can not stand the man and believe me, I am not trying to make any excuse. Everyone views things in different ways. Just a fact.
I check the headlines everyday, just like everyone else. Still no relief from that pile of vile.
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)Trump was angry, stressed, and in hostile territory.
He would do whatever he could to embarrass the hosts of the event.
And we know he is a ruthless criminal with a history of sexual assaults and
poor treatment of women.
So if we have to take a guess about his behavior and motives,
he is probably up to no good, which is his default setting.
And it makes no sense he was looking to get a drink.
He didn't take a drink from the bottle.
Irish_Dem
(67,106 posts)And we know he is always up to no good.
CANADIANBEAVER69
(657 posts)I didn't think me thinking he is unable to open the water was going to cause anyone to JFC me lol. I do think he was sweating in that interview and just reacted and squirmed through out.

(1,073 posts)Look at his body language, slumped, looks slovenly (don't use that word often) and defeated. Look at hers, body turned towards him, open, not defensive.

(7,655 posts)pushing an excuse for the cop who shot the Black woman in the face. The cop up for murder now. That was horrendous. All because she had to turn her hot water off. What was she supposed to do, allow a fire hazard to go on unchecked? She had to tend to the stove.
I would only call a cop if there were active shooting going on, or something really major. Wouldn't stop me from helping a cop, but they are sometimes nuts, with poor results. The whole incident was on camera, except that the cop had his body camera turned off. But other cameras caught that, and there you are, minus one innocent lady who just called for help. Trump was frequently trying to avoid answering the questions put to him, and he gave one long, mish mashed answer to this one.
