She is, indeed, very articulate, but I suspect her bailiwick is communicating face to face, be it with a prison convict or a corporate executive.

12. Many people feel a little nervous when they are being filmed. My guess is that she does not feel

very comfortable in front of a camera. She clearly makes an effort to choose the right words and abide by professional guidelines. I found what she had to say very interesting and credible.

9. the most important book I've read since trump became president

is The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. jmo

He's dreadfully unwell, I recognized this watching him go down that escalator. yet here we are. I think he's getting worse. He has this obsession about doing something that is a terrible, losing proposition, and the power to make millions of people suffer for it. He has this cult that will happily follow him off a very high cliff. we are in danger.

It is clear that 45 is some sort of madman, and yes, he is getting worse.

I am 70. I get vertigo when I go up and down escalators. I understand why escalators may bother 45.

My husband does not understand this. I ignore him and take the elevator.

Stairs are fine, but escalators mess me up in some way.

14. I'm not talking about the way he rode the escalator.

I'm talking about the extreme theatricality he brought to an announcement that he would run for president of the US. It was bizarre, a show. in some ways his entire presidency is, at least to him.

This just popped up on my YouTube. I never saw this when it came out in July, 2018, but it certainly confirms our fears, and adds to the discussion.
