Related: About this forumTrump's big problem (I hope)
Trump's antics have so far gotten him over 2 billion in free publicity.
His antics have kept him in the news, so much so that he feels he doesn't need a "ground game".
But how does he stay in the news for the next 2 months, until the election?
Demand a border wall that Mexico pays for?
Insult the parents of a fallen soldier?
Suggest that someone assassinate his opponent?
Been there, done that.
So maybe his trip to Mexico was a desperate attempt to dominate the news yet again.
But (it seems to me) he's going to run out of new things to say or do that will keep him at the top of the news.
I suppose he can make an issue of the coming debates, make outrageous comments (like "Once the nation sees me debate Hillary, my numbers will be YUGE" but I think eventually everything he says and does will be repetitions of what he's said or done before - old news, in other words. When that day comes, maybe the MSM will pay attention to the candidate best qualified for the office.
