Former Trump Co-worker: He’s Obsessed With Scary Beauty | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Which helps explain why his Penthouse looks like it was decorated by the lovechild of Caligula and Liberace. That’s pretty scary.

Let's us put glitter on his noose...for treason and crimes against humanity.

Trump: " I want this beautiful thing that impales people"... Lmfao Trump the Impaler

[SFolkes]

Okay, now your scaring me. How many stories like this have we heard about the worst dictators and tyrants in history?

[mikrichie]

"I want a flesh burning, spiked wall that will skewer and maim those who climb it" But it has to look good, so We'll call it the Shish -Kabob of the South.

The Malignant Narcissist.
The obsession with scary beauty = the narcissist's core is paranoia, intense fear, and craving the beauty of empathic people, the obsession is the pathology displayed.

[tickytacky]

Far easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.

[toddadams]

WHY are people surprised by any of this? Does anyone remember the USFL? The new Jersey generals? This president has a 50 year history of getting involved in good things and ruining them

[nancybeveridgetaylor]

Cheap, tawdry, tasteless, and tacky, Trump all the way.

[jostradamus]

So he wants the Gates of Mordor ....with sprinkles.

[switchajax]

Nothing says beauty like a giant matte black wall adorned with spikes

[Lelffy]

He wants to to scorch to the touch and describes in detail the injuries that one would sustain... what an evil man.

[Yve]

He should climb on those tips and stay stuck up there. Do WE THE PEOPLE that favor!!

[Rabbitsarewonderful]

Trump's "obsession with scary beauty." Well that explains Melania "Lady Dracula" Trump.

[penzman]

The U.S. has to implement a new process that will prevent another Trump-like candidate from running for president

[bspearbach]

he is the result of the system that created him. he is not the problem but a symptom of a paradigm structure the establishment calls "successful"

[raabclark]

Barbara Rez is so great, you guys. Quit focusing on "you know who", and focus on the people who are values-driven and calling out the behavior, not the person you want to see less of. Barbara Rez, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Ari Melber, Pete Buttigieg...those are the people we want to focus on.

[qassandraable]

She is what we hippies used to call right on.

[TheLaurel]

Ari Melber, excellent! And Barbara Res is so cool. I love her!

[Gymnopediea]

I absolutely love when Barbara Res is on, Ari. I also find her bizarrely calming. Something about how she speaks and the straight shooter with nothing to lose attitude.
