I don’t have to rehash Donald Trump’s viciously insulting one-man war on women Secretary Clinton has already done that quite effectively.

Late night, a reporter (who himself has two young daughters) interviewed Mr. Trump for NBC’s Las Vegas affiliate KSNV, an NBC affiliate in Las Vegas, and asked about the impact of his derogatory comments on young girls working through body image issues.

Riiiight.

It’s all “entertainment,” insult comedy for what the kids these day call “lulz.”

About a decade ago, through a colleague in Los Angeles, through a mutual friend in the entertainment industry, I met none other than legendary comedian Don Rickles backstage after the taping of a popular talk show. Rickles was the opposite of his stage persona: charming, collegial, gracious, and engaging.

So I can say with complete candor that I’ve met Don Rickles.

Mister Trump, you’re no Don Rickles.

    That’s the thing. With actual entertainers, it’s just an act. But with Trump, that’ who he is. There is no other side to him.

    After he came out with that lie about “nobody has more respect for women than I do” how did the interviewer keep a straight face? I would have laughed out loud. All the evidence proves you’re a goddamn liar, Trump.

    “There is no body, I mean no body that has more respect for women than I do. Believe me”…
    “Because my daughters are not fat and ugly like the women’s daughters that oppose me, am I right?”..(In Donald Trumps voice)

      I have found, over the years, that the last person you should ever believe is one who says “Believe me!” There’s also a corollary having to do with “Trust me!”

    And nobody has more respect for blacks,mexicans,muslems,the disabled,war heroes,veterans,and the working poor,than Trump does. (did I leave anyone out?)
