"TRUMP: It’s effeminate."

How well-mannered am I? Just enough to avoid the triggering of the quoted line to rerun my theory about how masculine Donnie actually is. That's right; I'm cancelling myself on this. But imagine your worse and you'd likely be in the ballpark.

This is much a gangster movie that I was ready to flinch when guns went off. Nope, just enough menace for me to almost feel bad for *Jared*.
