    Some have likened it to a case of Stockholm Syndrome:


    Stockholm Syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity.These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm Syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other."

    Yesterday when Jeff Sessions was asked how he feels about Doofus Donny's constant attacks on him Sessions admitted "it is hurtful".  It could be that he is very stubborn and KNOWS he has the support of many Senators and is flexing his muscles quietly. That would infuriate Trump wouldn't it? Stay tuned. Maybe today will be the day the dam burssts and the floods begin!  Thank you for your reply LO! :)
