Gossip

Remember the brouhaha when that Omarosa personage was escorted out of the White House? It is now being reported that she's writing a book which will tell the full, dirt-filled truth of Donald Trump's marriage to Melania.

I don't find the Life & Style story at the other end of that link very credible, since it relies heavily on "sources" and "insiders." The article quotes Omarosa's noted appearance on Good Morning America:
“There were a lot of things I observed over the past year that I was uncomfortable with,” she said. “When I have the chance to tell my story, it’s quite a story to tell.
But that quotation is gerrymandered. Here's what she actually said:
"I'm not going to expand on it because I still have to go back and work with these individuals, but when I have a chance to tell my story, Michael, quite a story to tell as the only African-American woman in this White House as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people. And when I can tell my story, it is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear," she said.
The real quote suggests that Omarosa's book will be about Donald Trump's racial attitudes. The Life & Style piece leads readers to think that the book will offer nothing but sexy piffle.

Last June, this blog published a link to a story suggesting that Melania was seeing the head of security at Tiffany's in Trump Tower. For more about that, go here. So it's not as though I'm completely immune to the attractions of gossip...

Plenty of reason to believe that Trump abuses everyone around him, including the wife. And any ethnic group or nationality other than Russian, German or Swedish.

The Trump people are all garbage. The sooner Donald is kicked into the gutter from which he pretends to have risen the better.

Not having read any biographies of Trump, I would almost bet he was an abused child by his dad. I am about dead certain he was. Abusive behavior is learned, and it is typically learned in the home. If you have been abused in any way, you have to have constantly aware of what you are doing as an adult so as to not perpetuate it.

I think his dysfunctional childhood lies at the root of his psychological problems.

Don't let your Democratic congress members fall into the trap of Pelosism. They cannot count on gossip or Robert Muller to do the work needed for prying republican claws off leavers of power. The five words that nailed the coffin of Democrat's fall from grace are "Impeachment is off the table". Even today Sausalito Hag is scolding like a Harpy any Dem mouthing the word that shall not be spake.

"prying republican claws off leavers of power" is going to be a lot of long, hard work. And then, as Mr. Mike observes, there are all the complicit Dems.

Watching Donald fall will, I hope, be some fun, but will accomplish zero in the task of getting our government back.
