In her book, she describes a debate between her and Trump and how 'uncomfortable' she was to be around Trump.
She accuses Trump of 'looming' over her, 'following' her around the stage, and invading her space.
She explains that just days before, Trump had been reported as 'groping' women, and it actually made her skin crawl to the point of having to force back being physically ill to have to stand near him.
She then asks the question in her book:
"
Well, what would you do? Do you stay calm, keep smiling, and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye, and say, loudly and clearly: Back up you creep, get away from me"
I find her question interesting.
And I wonder why she has never expressed the same gut feeling about her
lying-cheating-adulterous-groper of women husband.
She didn't mind being close to him on stage.
Here's her full quote from the book:
It was the second presidential debate, and Donald Trump was looming behind me. Two days before the world heard him brag about groping women. Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled. |
It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching, well, what would you do? Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren't repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye, and say loudly and clearly, back up, you creep. get away from me. I know you love to intimidate women, but you can't intimidate me, so back up. |
How little you actually know people.
It was obvious throughout the Lewinsky scandal that she was disgusted with Bill.
As well as during prior similar scandals.
Just as obvious, given the recurrent pattern running throughout her history with Bill, was that she was not about to allow his disgusting actions to impact on both her and their daughter, nor to once more threaten to get in the way of her own, very high, political ambitions.
There is that, and all the rationalizations that go with it, within the ever individual, highly complex dynamic of being a wife; and a mom to such a man's daughter; and as a public figure; and as a would be politician in her own hoped for right, one day...
Doesn't excuse it.
But I am not trying to.
I'm merely attempting to shed a brighter light towards inspiring the seeing of it's fuller dynamic, for what one can learn from it all, about oneself.
As to Trump - he was not a part of that dynamic.
Thus, it would be much easier to automatically allow herself to feel the full impact of such a disgust towards Trump, as a stranger.
Towards a pig just like her husband; but not her husband - the Donald.
Sort of along the line of the dynamic I once witnessed, in this huge guy I once worked with; who was ever being viciously picked on by our co-workers.
One day, I found him alone; venting out his rage in his pain, on a stack of crushed boxes with quite an impressive force.
I asked him why he put up with their abuse.
He said he had too much to loose, should he lose his job.
Things, my dear Tam, are often not as black and white as you might think they are...looking at them, from the outside in.
And I don't even like Hillary, anymore than I like Trump.
As far as I am concerned, they are bookends to the same moral corruption.
But one has to learn to remain objective.
Over time, it can become...an automatic.
As with the eventual automatic, if sought out - of ever looking at others...through the eyes of...Romans 5:8...just like the Father does...no matter what...
Unto the glory of His Son.
