    Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”

    This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement… and they fucking cheered.

    It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn’t happen. -And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. -And if it was, that’s not a big deal. -And if it is, that’s not my fault. -And if it was, I didn’t mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.
