Trump got irritated when a (visibly pregnant) reporter from NBC, @HallieJackson, slipped quietly...

At one point during a lengthy pool spray shortly ago in the Cabinet Room, Trump got irritated when a (visibly pregnant) reporter from NBC, @HallieJackson, slipped quietly out of the room.

He said NBC is worse than CNN, and that he made lots of money for NBC with The Apprentice.

He re-upped the attack again soon after, saying it was "pretty pathetic" that the NBC reporter had slipped out of the room.

(I don't know why she left. But reporters had been standing for nearly 90 minutes, either outside the room or in it.)

He wouldn't know because he's never involved in a personal manner.

His fatherly duties were done when he rolled over. Women are sperm receptacles to him.

He's a dick with a mushroom.

And I have to disagree with you about one thing. It’s not all about money for Trump. It’s all about HIMSELF. He has absolutely no empathy. He can’t imagine what other people are thinking or feeling. He’s utterly myopic, and he’s a poor excuse for a human being.

He is the most self-absorbed person I've ever seen. Money is just a tool he uses to elevate and protect himself. Without it, he would just be that obnoxious loudmouth loser at the end of the bar.

This is really what it's all about. It doesn't matter why she had to leave. She's 8.5 month's pregnant. There are numerous reasons for why she might have left. The point is, he has no empathy for anyone, least of all a pregnant woman, because he thinks that kind of thing is "disgusting".

He is such a fucking asshole! God, I hate him so much!

Don’t like pregnant women who work and are visible. They expect a woman to have a Marilyn Monroe figure all the time. They think pregnant women should go away and hide and don’t come back out until they look sexy again. I know the type. He is one disgusting asshole.
