George Conway Tells Of Trump Flipping Female Astronaut Off, After Tale Of Kaplan Being Called “C-Word”

By now you’ve heard the underlying story here, that Baby Donald threw a hissy fit toddler tantrum when he learned that his lawyer, Alina Habba, had done Roberta Kaplan and her team of lawyers a professional courtesy by buying them lunch at Mar-a-Lago the day that a deposition was scheduled. Trump isn’t a believer in professional courtesies, or in professionalism of any kind, for that matter. So when Kaplan told Trump that Habba had graciously offered herself and her team refreshment, he threw a stack of exhibits across the table in reply. Precisely the kind of sane, measured and controlled temperament you want handling the nuclear codes and all of our national security, eh what?

Now what really sours this scenario is the fact that the deposition in question was held at Mar-a-Lago as a courtesy to Trump. But, as with all things Trumpian, courtesy, like loyalty, flows like a one way street, to Trump, never, ever, from him. And his physical tantrum wasn’t enough. He had to insult Kaplan to her face as well. But, as you’ll hear, his sexist crack is perfectly in line with how he treats women generally.

What a swell guy. And it all comports. If you stop to think about it, Trump has very consistently presented his view of women over the years, that they are ornamental in nature and there to serve him or serve as vessels for whatever sicko impulse may overtake him at any time, whether it’s the impulse to insult, assault, rape, whatever. Trump is not a guy who likes the female gender and he’s terrified of capable and intelligent women.

One of the most ridiculous things I ever heard was when Trump was being recorded during a deposition, the same session where he identified a photograph of E. Jean Carroll as being one of his second wife, Marla Maples.

At that time he made the now-famous comment that Carroll “isn’t my type” and he also told Roberta Kaplan, “You’re not my type, either.” Presumably, this was meant to crush Kaplan. Oh, no, to be told that some fat, florid old man with diapers and makeup slathered on an inch thick doesn’t conceive of you as a bed partner? How Kaplan didn’t burst into laughter right then is a true study in self control. Meanwhile, here’s more on the astronaut story George Conway mentioned. People Magazine:

Either the president had an itchy head or he was sending a message to an American astronaut who fact-checked him.

During a teleconference on Friday with members of the first all-female spacewalk on the International Space Station, astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, President Donald Trump described the historic feat incorrectly as the “the first time for a woman outside of the Space Station.”

When, after a five-second delay on the long-distance call session, Meir corrected him, the president visibly reacted — then seemed to fix his hair using his middle finger.

“First of all, we don’t want to take too much credit because there have been many other female space-walkers before us,” Meir, 42, said. “This is just the first time that there have been two women outside at the same time.”

Here’s the video of this event.

Just Donald Trump, having a normal one. This is the kind of unabashed, low life swine that we are told is heaven sent to lead this country. How did we ever get so lost?

In any event, the more we look into the details surrounding Trump and his coterie at Mar-a-Lago, the more we learn how unsavory and distasteful they all are. Just last night it was revealed that Walt Nauta was discharged early from the Navy because he had been involved in sexual harassment charges himself.

These are the kinds of low character, no character people that Trump surrounds himself with. Birds of a feather, all that. This is normal in Trump world. All of it.
