Never seen any candidate.."stalk" another ..like Trump did...Has anyone else?

He walked behind her in a menacing way. He couldn't stay at his podium and just wait. Perhaps it was the meds that he was on, but the look on his face was as very mean. I have watched politics for decades. And I have never seen anything like that. Has anyone else?

This is a debate for the office of "President of the United States.." I guess that look and walk is what Trump wanted to convey. For whatever reason, it was as nasty and frightening to me, as I have seen in such a debate..

This fellow Trump lives in some kind of world where he thought he could act that way in front of 50 million people..With a purposeful look on his face that was from hell. I cannot remember anything like that.

He probably thought it was threatening and made him look presidential. I saw it as juvenile, one lacking the intellect for effective discussions, hence poses in threatening positions. He looked like a sexual predator stalking his intended victim. He looked and acted mentally disturbed. I would NOT want to be a women alone with him.

A few months ago, I got into an argument with someone who worked for me.. He threatened me, but, a few moments later, he left...nothing happened.
But look on his face when he was talking to me, was exactly the same as Trump's look. It was mean and vicious.. I had never saw that look on him before, but I will never forget it.

How the hell could anyone act like that,on national TV, live?

The hatred and look are because some "woman" is beating him an important political race...the most important one he, Trump, has ever been in or will be in...dealing with the truth of losing to a .."woman" for whatever reasons..might have caused this behavior, in addition to anything else going on.

Imagine, an intelligent "woman" making him look like a fool, and he thinks he can do and say anything with a woman and get away with it...cause he is a "celebrity".
