Watergate Redux

 

     There was a small but very telling moment in Donald Trump's dumpster fire of an interview with three reporters at the national convention at the National Association of Black Journalists or NABJ yesterday. At one point during his interview with ABC's Rachel Scott, Trump waited until she turned her head from him and he reached over about three feet and took Scott's water bottle even though Trump plainly had his own just a few inches to the right of him.

     Yeah, it could be said that he made a mistake and took the wrong bottle.  But the timing couldn't be ignored. He waited until the moment she turned her head before grabbing the bottle then twisting the cap more tightly before putting it back.

     It's exactly the kind of dick move that's perfectly consistent with Trump's constant, puerile pettiness and obsession with power moves and OCD. It fits right in with the account of when Trump poured a cold glass of white wine down the back of the reporter who'd exposed the fact that he slept with Hitler's speeches next to his bed. It also fits in with the same Trump.who pretended to scratch his right temple but did so with his middle finger when he was corrected over the phone by a female astronaut during a space walk.

     I don't understand Trump's problem with and fixation on water bottles.

    

    

          Apparently, he doesn't fare much better with glasses of water, either.

 

     Here's the video,, if you don't believe me.
