. . . . . calling her "housekeeper". What an insult that was to not only Ms. Machado, but to every had working woman in America - in the world, really - and most pointedly, to every Latina, no matter their station in life.
What a disgusting little pissant is Trump.

It's called oppo research, Don the con. Never heard of it?
There's more coming. Rachel has a pre-October surprise brewing to come out tommorrow.
I'm sure even more is coming after we get into October. Repugs are not the only ones able to spring October surprises.
Hillary's campaign is being run very well, very professionally. They know what their doing.

(6,385 posts)Remember the thing where dialers for Donald were being asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement that essentially said they couldn't say anything about their work.
Usually, to have any force of law, they have to exclude information that becomes public knowledge through some other provable public pathway.
So I think he was trying to get HRC to say "...because she told us..." which would, in DJT's mind make this woman the primary source.
I had a boss like Trump once and that was always his EXACT reaction when chit showed up in the press. He always wanted to talk to the reporter...not to clear the air or deny something but to find out who was their source so the company could go after them. Somehow they got one guy and while they couldn't clawback his severance, they did make sure he paid just about all of it out in legal fees. Good to be gone from that rat nest.

I'm pretty sure there are more surprises as well.
At least I hope so.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pissant, also seen as piss ant or piss-ant, refers to a specific type of ant. The word is also used as a pejorative noun or adjective, indicating insignificance.[1]
It has its origin in the word pismire, a 14th-century term for ant.[2][3]
The original pissant is any of a certain group of large ant species, commonly called wood ants

It's like by saying her name, he is acknowledging her existence and that she is a person worthy of his respect.
Also, when Trump brazenly asked Hillary Clinton if he could call her 'Secretary Clinton', she said "yes." and then he replied "Because I want you to be happy." in a flippant, condescending tone.
Stinky The Clown
(67,818 posts). . . . . I took him to be insulting with it. Not cabinet secretary, but office secretary. He was being diminishing to her.
He's a disgusting pissant.

Only towards the end did he start saying "Hillary".

(269,157 posts)His Scottish mother was a housekeeper. A lot of his mental issues relate to his own self hatred because for all his daddy's money - they were never accepted by the New York elite. He's a really sick human being.

(24,772 posts)Bloomberg summed it up during the Dem convention when he said, "I'm a New Yorker and I know a con when I see it."
Most of the New York elite see the Nectarine Narcissist as the pretender--and coward--he really is.
and that's beautiful although I am no fan of the elites either. I am a fan of polite society among all races and classes.
