For most of a year I have been looking for the clip of an Interview with Donny Ahab I saw on some cable news show before he won the primary. It was a lady one on one.
He was asked what he thinks are his best character traits, what he likes best about himself. The Count of Trump Towers and Captain of the Pee-Quad only came up with one which answered quickly and directly. That it was how he always got revenge on anyone who crossed him. That he got even times ten. And loved doing it.
I am sure being unable to find the clip no matter how deeply I have delved into Google over the past year has nothing to do with Donny Little Dick washing it away, after all, it is the thing about himself he is most proud of.
No the answer to that is far more bigly sad. That for both the media and the people revenge and vindictiveness are either good things or not bad enough to bother with.
Even though it was vengeance has caused World War 1, World War 2, the Iraq War and for a thousand years has been turning the Middle East into a pile of ruble. And that’s just the tip of the whale.
Hemingway, While trying to find that clip I did find these which means it was not my imagination running away with me.

“One of the things you should do in terms of success: If somebody hits you, you’ve got to hit ’em back five times harder than they ever thought possible. You’ve got to get even. Get even.” Donald Trump interview
And you know there was at least one guy who understood the problem and tried to put a stop to it, they nailed him to a tree before his 34th birthday.
