Go view a video of any Trump rally and look into their faces when he says something really morally obnoxious. The 8% are those that feel the same way but never made it to the rallies. ---

The 8% are probably the ones essentially responding “fuck your stupid poll” ---

I think it also appeals to those who so misunderstand the concept of “political correctness” and who are so upset over what they imagine it means that someone being as offensive as possible is to them a perceived needed thumb in the eye to those who they feel that others are constrained their “plain talk” … which of course is usually hateful. ---

Most likely they are just answering that question like that as a way of saying “Fuck you!” to just about everybody. ---

So one thing I’m still puzzled about with this video, what did Trump mean when he said “I moved on her like a bitch”? Did he mean “I, a person who is like a bitch, moved on her”, “I moved on her, a person who is like a bitch”, “I moved in a way a bitch would move, onto her” or some other meaning of the phrase? As someone who’s never heard that particular turn of phrase before, all 3 interpretations seem equally plausible. ---

In that context, it indicates extremity of action. “I hit that ball like a motherfucker!” just means an extreme action, not that the ball has a mother, nor any pervo desires for her. It. Whatever. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > In that context, it indicates extremity of action. “I hit that ball like a motherfucker!” just means an extreme action, not that the ball has a mother, nor any pervo desires for her. It. Whatever. I don’t think that’s very helpful. “like a motherfucker” is an established phrase which clearly applies to the hitter. However, “I hit that ball like a rented mule” clearly implies the ball is the rented mule. If he said “I moved on her like a little bitch”, it would be clear that he’s referring to himself as the bitch. There’s also the common phrase “stings like a bitch” or “hurts like a bitch”, but if he were using it in that sense, it would be more proper to say “I moved like a bitch on her” in which case the move is the bitch. All 3 subjects of the sentence can have the “like an X” modifier applied to them depending on exactly what X is. ---

Trump is defending himself against some of the accusations by saying the women weren’t hot enough for him to molest. He’s proud of being a predator, but doesn’t want us to think he settles for anyone less than a 10. ---

Yup, I noticed that too. “She wouldn’t be my first choice, believe me.” That bravado just made him stick his foot in his mouth. Again. Not only will he lose the election and do serious damage to his brand name, he’s also looking at some prison time for sexual assault, since he has pretty much admitted it already.

Could he be saying that he moved on her like a male dog would on a bitch in heat? i.e – I moved on her as though she were a bitch in heat? ---

I too think it is meant as an intensifier. “I moved on her [strenuously].” Trump makes lots of spoken grammatical errors, so you have to allow for that in his intended meaning(s). ---

No one has more respect for sexual assault than I do. I don’t assault women, _but if I did_, it would only be 10s. Believe me. All you 9s and less are safe!!
