The reporter involved in the second case in Victoria's (as always) comprehensive and eloquent reply is Ms Selena Scott. She was THE news anchor for years, and pretty much universally beloved, until she upped and quit to raise horses.
@EC EC, Thanks for your comments. I had not saved the story about Selena Scott so didn't have her name. Her story is typical of what happens to a person when he/she resists Trump in any matter. Trump physically attacked his music teacher when he was in the fifth grade. He now has more methods available to him to attack people without getting physical and he uses them constantly. Normal people without mental health psychological training, cannot comprehend a person like Trump. They believe what he says because he says it with great gusto like he means it. The next day, he will change what he said the day before, and people make allowances for his turn-around because they can't imagine he is not normal because they don't deal with people who are as abnormal as he is.
He looks normal, he walks normally with a swagger, and appears to know all about all, but it is all fake. His language is simple and disjointed and infantile because I think he has a disability and he has spent his life lying/spinning stories, to promote a fake him to prove to himself and others he is better than anyone.
His faking all his life is highly developed and it has made him president. I was reminded today what William F. Buckley said about Trump in 2000 - he knew Trump personally and what he really was:
"What about the aspirant who has a private vision to offer to the public and has the means, personal or contrived, to finance a campaign? In some cases, the vision isn’t merely a program to be adopted. It is a program that includes the visionary’s serving as President. Look for the narcissist. The most obvious target in today’s lineup is, of course, Donald Trump. When he looks at a glass, he is mesmerized by its reflection. If Donald Trump were shaped a little differently, he would compete for Miss America."
"But whatever the depths of self-enchantment, the demagogue has to say something. So what does Trump say? That he is a successful businessman and that that is what America needs in the Oval Office. There is some plausibility in this, though not much. The greatest deeds of American Presidents — midwifing the new republic; freeing the slaves; harnessing the energies and vision needed to win the Cold War — had little to do with a bottom line."
