(6,555 posts)Even *IF* this is typical male locker room conversation, the very fact that he would say this *knowing he is mic'ed for a video* to a nearly complete stranger shows a phenomenally low level of self-control and self-awareness. And it's not like he's some blowhard kid on a selfie at a bar.
C'mon, guys, you know you were all mic'ed up and ready to roll. The camera man got off the bus first, they closed the door so Trump could make his appearance, and he joked about not falling off the bus.
This is Worse than arrogance to me, it's completely completely oblivious. Can you imagine that sort of mind-set in a confrontation with Russia or China or North Korea?

(635 posts)I strongly supported Bill Clinton during his time as President, through his affairs. I can imagine my right-wing relatives accusing me of hypocrisy here. How should I defend myself?
