Trump boasting how his celebrity status assists him in carrying out acts of dominance and abuse

and sexual assault is the clearest indicator of his innate capability, perhaps even his intent, to carry out more widespread and heinous ABUSES OF POWER and dominant posturing while holding the highest position/office in the world.

He would be the highest ranking political celebrity with control of the most powerful military and intelligence machine in the universe with its secret black ops and integrated spy network, and with access and influence over most forms of media (and propaganda).

A man who uses his particular type of power -- wealth, celebrity, NDAs, gag-orders, and a litigation-war-machine -- now and in his past, in order to dominate, control, to silence people and to commit crimes would rise to a more epic scale of abuse with more power.

ABUSE OF POWER.

Trump abuses power.
Trump abuses power for personal gain and gratification.
Trump abuses power.

This term was mentioned this morning on CBS/Face the Nation a couple of times that the term had come from conversations with ranking Republicans. If you're wondering why now? Well, that's the one that finally sunk in. That is why they're jumping ship at this point.

Because they finally saw what we all saw from the beginning -- that there is no way to constrain Trump's potential for abuse of power and dominance.

He went unvetted for so long while everyone piled on Hillary for all the CTs & innuendo that could be belched up from the bowels of the RW smear machine. It goes on still from the right & left. Ultimately the nation is exposed to great risk because the notion that blowing it all up will preserve wealth or save the poor and the world is not realistic. I don't want to risk DJT as the contractor on the build.
