(47,894 posts)People sent Hicks emails and she showed them to Trump.
At least that is the story I have been reading.
I guess they thought they were so smart.

(82,849 posts)It's very easy to put someone else in the blind courtesy copy (bcc) field, and unless the bcc recipient is stupid enough to disclose, nobody but the sender knows about the bcc recipient.
Enter Donald Trump.

(9,527 posts)Trump is too stupid to not hit reply all or forward to somebody. He's really really stupid.

(35,454 posts)I know. I know. A naked, sweaty, post-coitus Trump is not a pleasant mental image, but it's very plausible.

(61,712 posts)I thought I read that he's very particular about the circumstances in which he has sex with someone who is in his life, like, lights out before, during, after. Maybe it was gossip from Marla Maples or someone else he was screwing. Anyway, I wonder where hicks was that she showed him the email and then he tweeted about it so quickly.

(9,696 posts)So no worries that he would reply or forward. Does he have an email addy?
He tweets, that's about all the technology he understands. Plus, people around him probably want to keep him away from email, to much of a trail. Probably hopehic read them to him.
