What did Huma see in him?


Does anyone know?

I watched this documentary yesterday and I was stunned.

Anthony shows no remorse. He never apologizes to his wife. He appears physically distant from her, never once trying to hug her, kiss her on the forehead/cheek, hold her hand, etc.

He becomes angry and irritable at the drop of a hat. He's obsessed with attention for himself and watching himself on TV.

He can't emotionally control himself enough not to start a fight in public.

He can't remember how many women he talked to and what he said, meaning it was a LOT.

And this is a 40-something year old man we're talking about here.

Does anyone know how/why Huma fell in love with this man, agreed to marry him and agreed to have a child with him?

What makes you think they are in love with each other, aside from the leverage of power both can achieve through the other?

For her, questions regarding her Muslim upbringing get mitigated.

For him? Instant access to The Clintons and the the most powerful office in the western world.

This isn't about love. It's about lust. For power.

If you missed that obvious alliance, then congratulate yourself. You're probably not a sociopath.

He was a normal guy at first. He really was.
