He likes to brag how he takes revenge on anyone who wrongs him. He raped his wife Ivanna because he was upset about the result of some hair transplant.
Plus his frail ego can't take the thought that anyone would disrespect him. Feeling disrespected send sends him into a frenzy.
Knowing all that, how can anyone believe that Melania would dare to poke the bear by wearing that jacket as a slap to his face?
Sorry, I don't buy that for a minute.
This was a message to his base that they don't care about the migrant kids.
It wasn't her idea, but she was a willing accomplice.
She is a bad as all of them. She is a true trump.

OTOH he's smart enough to know not to hit her in the face.

(115,735 posts)I don't know if he ever actually beat his wives (though he raped Ivana some years ago), but I can imagine him at least being verbally abusive and slapping Melania around. Which is not an excuse for Melania, of course; she could have divorced his ugly ass years ago.

I would not be surprised if people and things get broken.

Trump likes his victims powerless, and nothing seems to enrage him quite like a victim who fights back. He immediately scuppers into victim mode, whining about being treated unfairly, and a horde of flying monkeys come out to soothe his hurt feelings and complain about when is the wealthy white man ever going to catch a break.

(63,875 posts)doesn't like to be responsible, plus he is a coward. I would really like to see him crack if he didn't get that craving of how he thinks he's so great and superior, ha, Karma will bite him back.

(52,253 posts)if he weren't in such a dangerous position he'd be comically obvious in terms of his many psychological and personality defects.
in terms of violence, he openly pines for it and approves of it, he's mourned the "good old days" when people could just beat up protesters, he describes violent nazis as fine people, he sides with the police no matter how much excessive force they use or maybe because they use excessive force.
he clearly subscribes to a world view where he, along with other rich, white, men, are at the top of the hierarchy, and others can be kept down by any means necessary.
and he clearly has a temper and is impulsive and has no way of coping other than venting, and doing so at the expense of others, with a complete lack of compassion, if not with outright contempt, for their feelings.
it would be wildly inconsistent for him to have never thrown a punch.
i'll allow that it's possible that he's too old and too rich now to do it *personally*, maybe he used to do it and maybe he has others do it for him.
but most likely he still does it and he's surrounded by people who are such suck-ups that they probably thank him for giving them a presidential bruise.

(37,428 posts)I supect he really does have poorly-concealed rage issues that fully manifest only in private, in the presence of female targets.
Among men, in person, he seems desperate to fit in, with no real friends. His clumsy attempts at mimicking human male behavior come out like the stupid Billy Bush monologue.

Not only is Donald Trump a chump, an arch criminal and traitor, he's also megalomaniacal, sociopathic, malignant narcissistic pathological liar with a non compos mentis nincompoop on top. Putin has pulling his strings before and after the Apprentice. Putin actually gave Trump the show.
In December 2003, Donald Trump was a multi-bankruptcy loser who couldn't even make a profit in the casino business and was deemed an untouchable by a US Banking in community. Without capital Trump was reduced to branding water and steaks and swindling would be students. In January 2004, one month later, Trump was a successful international businessman with investable projects around the world for viewers to invest in. The Apprentice was Putin's attempt to "put lipstick on the pig that needed to look good" for some Herculean International Money Laundering. Since Apprentice there are over 240 "Trump branded" businesses in 25 countries; mostly in third world countries and dictatorships we're Russia hold sway.
Currently the Trump Soho in Manhattan, the Trump Ocean Club in Panama and the Trump Baku in Azerbaijan are being investigated for tax evasion and money laundering. The underlying legal premise is the companies are Russian money laundering operations with Trump brand for the look of "legitimacy and investability".
