    I find it repulsive that she knew what a predator he was and is, and still chose to stand by him.
  • @ericm0808
    So embarrassed for being exposed. We now know she knew what was going on and she stayed.
  • @CthulhuInc
    as i've said in other posts, she deserves nothing but contempt, as she is a trump-enabler.
  • @ahthisisgood
    Crocodile tears. She didn't feel the need to resign until Jan 6th. (like so many others). No integrity until ya get caught...and reality knocks.
  • @jkfan2005
    This guy spends most of his time trying to convince people he's smarter than he is. Then has to pay lawyers to tell a judge and a jury "He KNOWS NOTHING!!!"
  • @spigette
    Everyone is reading way too much into the tears. Some people cry when nervous, cry when they are scared angry or in the grip of any strong emotion. Even someone like Hope Hicks whose ethics must be questionable (otherwise how could she work for someone like that) must feel strong emotions at times. Just because she cries, don't mistake that for remorse or regret. Definitely don't feel sorry for her. She was on board with everything Trump did.

    "...Like a small family business." In the sense it was a lot like the mafia.
  • @antrygis1
    I like Jen. She just condenses it clearly without elaborating too much and without glorifying her personality. Yet her personality comes through. Sharp gal.
  • @FeloniousBalony
    She needs to be charged criminally just like ANYONE who enabled him. Period
  • Trump has a type. Hicks fits that type. She wasn't even 30 at the time, but she's basically running Trump's media communication
  • I'm glad you all figured out that Trump is a micromanager! Both Michael Cohen and Trump's accountant said "nothing happens in the Trump organization without Donald knowing about it!" But I'm still glad you finally figured it out!
  • @ronaldcole7415
    Person, woman, man, signed documents, guilty verdict. No TV.
  • @JH-nj8up
    Trump spends his entire life trying to cover up his lies and wretched character.
  • @LindaJ3433
    The press shown kissing her at a press briefing was disturbing. I think we all know why the teen model was hired. TFG cares about looks more than abilities.
  • @DavidJ222
    General John Kelly voted for Trump, and eventually became his White House Chief of Staff. And THEN, he got to know him. “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,” --- Marine General Kelly, Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff.
  • Mob bosses never commit to a crime, they just use aggressive suggestions.
  • Her tears should have been shed in righteous indignation when the traitor came to her with his proposition, and told him "No", but of course there was something in it for her, so she kept her mouth shut...UNTIL she got subpoenaed 😭!
