There's a fantastic summary of her all of her takedowns of Trump but here's just a taste:
"Americans Hate Trump", "Hillary Has Sealed The Deal", "Trump Is Evil & Nuts"
Donald Trump, according to nine women and his own comments to Billy Bush, likes to grope women. He regularly insults women about their appearance and weight. He called deaf actress Marlee Matlin retarded, according to one account. He publicly bragged about his infidelity while still married to his childrens mother. He talks about a daughter in sick, sexualized ways. He has said more than once of pre-adolescent girls that he would be dating them in a few years. He wandered in on beauty contestants (including minors) while they were naked or changing.
Trump calls all these women liars, and has the audacity to say one accuser was not attractive enough to grope. (Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you, he said at a North Carolina rally.) But of course this is not so much about sex as about sheer power.
Trumps disgusting behavior even if we look only at his recorded comments is that of a pre-pubescent, one raised by wolves. His conduct and talk, one can suppose, are intended to make himself feel powerful and important. Treating women as chattel makes him feel masculine and in command.
His narcissism convinces him he is a suave operator and prevents him from considering the feelings of the women he attacks (physically and verbally).

It matters not at all whether there is some diagnosable problem with Trump or whether he is simply evil.
Trump, we have come to see, operates in his own world in which he is the best and in which everyone else is inferior. He spews made up facts and clings to irrational assertions. Frankly, it does not take much to get from the lie that Mexicans are pouring over the border to the insane claim there is a worldwide conspiracy against him.
