We don't need the Epstein Files to tell us the executive is an abuser.
He gives us evidence every day that he is a chronic belittler and batterer.
He attacks and demoralizes, feigns good humor while he patronizes others, smashes personal and professional boundaries, and struts about like a preening rooster in a barnyard.
He demands flattery, prefers women as silent ornaments and accessories, but is clearly intimidated by other men, deferring to them at first but undermining and undercutting them whenever the urge strikes just to show who's the boss.
He imagines inflicting pain on others -- remember the "shove protesters roughly in patrol cars" line from his rallies? -- and ICE is a dream come true for someone who peppers his speech with references to pain.
Like other abusers, he's afraid of losing control of his victim, so he's concocting narratives that leave him blameless and shifts all of the problems to his victims.
His ego is so fragile that he can't imagine his victim taking up with someone else, so he trashes all others as weak and unsuitable and makes that classic abuser threat, "If I can't have you, nobody can." He will leave the victim a dispirited, battered, pitiful wreck. Traumatized and twitchy.
The executive is a nation abuser
