Wait...is this satire? If not, why would a smart ambitious 25 year old perjure herself and risk incarceration for a possible book deal/CNN slot? Why was she getting pressure to be a “team player” prior to her testimony? Seems there's a pattern too of credible women (Anita Hill, Christine Blassy Ford, Fiona Hill, Marie Yovanavitch) being called "unstable" by right-wing (um...I'm going with the credible, heroic women here?) Tabloids never reported Trump fits? You're forgetting that Trump has the tabloids in his pocket (like National Enquirer...they have a mutual admiration pact of some sort). You also have to allow for a growing isolation/impatience/insanity on Trump's part (sort of like Travis Bickle, Anakin Skywalker, or The Joker) where he gradually believes he really is the heroic, avenging farce he created.
