Not a Troll: But shouldn't we be concerned that Trump is having some sort of break

Down.


Yeah, I know he is an ego maniac and self serving but this "run" for the Presidency is really destroying his after run life. Who is going to go into any sort of business with him. I mean he is tripling down on his Mexican statements. Shouldn't we be just a small bit concerned?

Maybe he will go the way of Rushbo -- losing all his sponsors. Hehehehe

But somehow, I suspect he will be just fine.

just like him. So, while he decreases one side, he increases the other. If he accidentally destroys himself, the world will be a better place.

I don't think he does anything without thinking it out.

I can't stand him, but I really don't think he is having a breakdown or is in any way not in complete control of his message.

Scary that.

...I would not waste a speck of sympathy on this pathetic excuse of a human being.

Unlike most people, he has choices. He can do and have anything he wants. He chose to be an ass.
If he is having a break down...oh well.

And he has plenty of it. People looking to get some of it won't be too worried about what he says. Also his businesses will say that they have nothing to do with him. He's just a name on a piece of paper.

I'm not defending him either, but his money is mostly in real estate, and that's not affected the same way consumer brands are.

when in trouble, pretend that it was your plan all along, bluff, huff, and puff.

If that fails: pay for the damage and pretend it never happened.

1%-ers have fragile souls, you know? It's very rude to suggest their position in life engenders a high rate of psychopathology.

If he misspoke and said the sky is green, he'd insist the sky was green until the day he died (the funeral . . . it was HUGE and TERRIFIC).

His true self was always carefully managed by his PR people and managers. He now sees that his lunacy sells with a certain subgroup of Republicans (teabaggers) and has realized he can be who he is and say what he really thinks.

My guess is he to be second or even potentially win the Republican primary. If he accomplishes that it'll really stroke his ego.

It will be very difficult for him to conduct business in Latin America again.

He can keep dialing in the anti-Latino rhetoric until the cows come home for all I care.

At this rate he'll drive Democratic percentages of the Latino vote into the percentages we normally get from African-Americans.
