1. I don't know if that woman is getting paid or not.

If she is being paid, her services are not worth it...if she's not being paid, well, she shouldn't be. She's a maroon.

Just saw that clip a few minutes ago. She sounded like a right moron, complaining that the Trumpers couldn't take a position until they knew what was in the affidavit - which, of course, is what the motion they didn't join was all about. She talked in stupid circles. Surprisingly, she has a fairly respectable educational resume (Georgetown) - but Miles Taylor, for whom she used to work at DHS, said his office wouldn't even trust her to operate a photocopier; he refused to even let her attend sensitive meetings.

5. TFG is intensely concerned with appearances.

Many of his current attorneys are attractive young women (Bobb, Ellis, Habba, a few others I can't think of). The fact that they are woefully unqualified to represent a client who's in such very deep shit as TFG isn't important (he wouldn't recognize competence if he saw it) as long as they look hot on TV.

6. Yep that's it. He's obsessed with his own looks so he hires attractive females.

8. And he probably wants to project the image that hot women want to be around him.

Note to TFG: No women want to be around you unless they're paid very well.

12. Also research suggests some psychopathic men are skilled at manipulating and charming women.

Even though they are violent predators who are not interested in maintaining a relationship, they can use persuasion and charm to pretend to be trustworthy.

It is also known that in prisons some of the most violent predators are able to deceive female staff despite their training.

14. Yes and he seems to have a certain look he is going for in women.

They project the same air of a Stepford wife, artificially enhanced to look almost like a Barbie doll.

It is dehumanizing. But he treats men the same way, as expendable gofers who do all his dirty work.
