Molly Jong-Fast Says Trump Can’t Stop Himself From ‘Lashing Out’ at Female Reporters: ‘Less Able to Control’ Behavior as He Ages

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: "So, I think what is the most interesting thing about this is the shift in the way he’s behaving. So, remember, we’ve been — we’ve been covering this guy for a decade and we saw him — in the beginning, you know, he would say misogynistic things. He would make comments. You’ll remember when he was debating Hillary Clinton or Vice President Harris, we would see him sort of say misogynistic things or be misogynistic and dismissive. But what is new here, which I think is relevant and important, is that he really does lash out at these reporters in a way that seems unplanned, right? Like, we’ve seen him sort of do things where it is not tasteful to us, we don’t like it, it doesn’t feel good, but it doesn’t seem quite as emotional. And I think this is meaningful because, you know, he’s 79, he’s about to be 80, and as you get older sometimes, you see people who, you know, who start to slow down, are less able to control their sort of — their behavior and speech. And it does strike me that the fact that he can’t prevent himself from getting angry at these women reporters and lashing out is new."
