I'm wondering what triggered him to go completely off the deep it. For a while he seemed a little more disciplined. I'm wondering if the thought of losing sent him off the deep end. I know he does not like to be branded a loser.

And anybody who speaks against him is his enemy. I do believe he thinks he has more support and that his base is larger than it is, and that his scorched-earth tactic will energize his yuuge base enough for him to win. But because he's a narcissist, the thing that infuriates him the most is criticism of any kind. So what he really wants is to hurt and humiliate the Clintons and the GOPers who've unendorsed him. But he doesn't think that doing this will cause him to lose the election. He doesn't realize that he's a political suicide bomber.

Destroy your Enemies at all cost. The next revelation most likely will be a outright attack on the Obama's. Every time this Guy gets push back,he pivots to another target and then comes back to his original target when the press tires of the new attack.

Our Media is still doing Horse Race yet today. What really is telling are the quotes from bogus Polling Companies as Breaking News and fact.

This is the last act of the desperate loser that Trump is. Expect things to be nasty and bizarre from here on out as Trump shreds all sense of decency he ever possessed.

I'm sure they were hopping and campaigning with gusto a month ago. Even if they aren't talking about "the end", I bet donny noticed a change in attitude, and maybe people avoiding him.

7. He is being advised by bannon

Even though conway has had some sway with him in the past. I think bannon is becoming more of a influence. Long before the election bannon said he wanted to tear the rnc apart and pretty much build a new bannon party in it's place. Dipshit always had those leanings, but is so easily swayed bannon was able to manipulate him.
