Trump cheated on his SAT by paying someone to take it for him, according to Mary Trum

[Phantasmal]

Then she is an idiot. Words have meaning, and I've gone through this before. Being "institutionalized" means you have been put under professional care in a closed setting like a mental hospital or retirement home. Her version is nonsense. I would propose she used the word "institutionalized" for maximum negative impact expecting few readers to question it's use making her use of it not only a lie but a disingenuous attack on Donald that is undeserved. That in turn makes her book a work of questionable facts and opens the question What axes does she have to grind here?

Remember George HW Bush not being sure how to use a credit card at a grocery store? Same thing. Just because you have privilege and wealth doesn't make you some sort of incompetent in things that matter.

Mary Trump in writing a screed to attack her uncle rather than a dry factual account is doing herself a service and disservice all at once. Her book is worthless as non-fiction while being quite useful in the court of public opinion and as a fictional piece of political tripe to stir up the masses.

She's not being literal about "institutionalized." She's using it in the sense that trump was protected, cossetted and shielded by his family's money in a way that most people were not.

You are correct. But a nip of ambiguity and the rightys will quibble to death. It is another way of changing the subject.

And their bizarre belief that whatever #TRE45ON says is gold and true, but if one of his detractors can somehow be caught in a lie, then everything else they ever said about him is also a lie.

Bush could tie a tie throughout his presidency. Remember a businessman of that age would have been presented with tie tying daily for decades. I try to avoid wearing a tie, and have still tied a tie thousands of times. Even not tying his own shoes seems more minor, because he would have trouble doing so with how fat he is. But being unable to tie his own tie sticks with me.

Trump follows a predictable pattern of behavior. Him cheating on the SATs should not be any more shocking than finding out Brett Kavanaugh drank beer in High School.

Are you sure she wasn't writing about PMS? Or has that well dried up?

PMS? Perhaps
I understand that you're confused...so is she

It's hard to believe that you are an adult woman in her mid-60s. Why do you communicate (if it can be called that -- Grind says not lol) like a fifth-grader girl? Do you giggle a lot in real life too? Whisper secrets to one friend while looking at another? Pass notes? Get someone else to ask Earl or Steven if he likes you?

If you and RB want to talk about Owlwoman behind her back, you shouldn't ask him to PM you for details. It makes you look so hypocritical after all your other posts about PMs on the site.
