Trump Leadership Team

I was curious about commonality among the leaders and spokespersons for tRump. Here they are (with what I think is a relevant link and list following):

Steve Bannon
Thrice-married Executive Chairman, formerly of Bretbart right-wing website, formerly of Goldman Sachs, overweight

Roger Ailes
Deposed head of Fox News after multiple accusations of sexual harassment, overweight

Rudy Giuliani
Thrice-married former mayor of New York and rejected presidential candidate who publicly flaunted his adultery in New York, media surrogate

Chris Christie
Governor of New Jersey, now under investigation for Bridgagate scandal, former media surrogate (but noticeably silenced after new Bridgegate investigation), overweight

Kellyanne Conway
Campaign Chairman and media surrogate, formerly with multiple House and Senate campaigns (but noticeably absent from media this week)

David Bossie
Deputy Campaign Manager, formerly of Citizens United, formerly chief investigator for house investigation against Bill Clinton, overweight

Michael Glassner
Deputy Campaign Manager, formerly Chief of Staff for SarahPAC, formerly of Sarah Palin campaign and Bob Dole campaign

and last and least…

Donald Trump
Thrice-married self-admitted serial sexual abuser who publicly flaunted his adultery, boasts about not paying any Federal Income Tax for two decades, long-time conspiracy theorist, multiple bankruptcies, overweight


Then google led me to this very interesting web page:

Characteristics of Abusive Men

Control
Entitlement
Selfishness & Self-centredness
Superiority
Possessiveness
Confusing Love & Abuse
Manipulativeness
Contradictory Statements & Behaviours

"You said you're the party of family values," Obama said of the Republican Party.
Your list proves this point

their common "family values" seem to be pretty obvious.

Another easy observation is how much they value women in positions of leadership.

"Sexual desire." With good reason; sexual abuse, including rape, is about POWER, not sex. I don't know if this is true, but I have a feeling Trump has frequent impotence issues (not unusual in a man his age). I also don't know if his tiny hands say anything about his penis size, but that would explain a lot.
