Trainwreck Trump tweets: 3:20 a.m., 5:14 a.m., 5:19 a.m., 5:30 a.m.-Something is very wrong with him

Trump is not well:
sometimes you have to step back:
A candidate 39 days from the election is tweeting abt a sex tape in the midst of Shimon Peres' funeral

https://twitter.com/joshgreenman/status/781820020015919104


And, taking a further step ... he's even lying about the "sex tape." Doesn't exist.
Sep 29, 2016

MOSTLY FALSE
WHAT'S TRUE: Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado made an allegedly risqué appearance on a TV reality show and was pictured topless in Playboy magazine.
WHAT'S FALSE: Alicia Machado has not starred in a series of pornographic films.

I thought for a long time that Trump may have had bipolar disorder because of all those middle-of-the-night tweets. I do get insomnia, also, but not every night, and I am not travelling all over the country. He is going to have a physical breakdown if this continues, in addition to the mental breakdown I think he has had or is having as we speak.

As someone on Twitter said, Conway needs to take a hammer to his phone.

Not that he doesn't show many signs, but those signs could be explained by other things, some as alarming. John Podesta tweeted something about knowing what it was like to be an old guy having to get up to pee but advising him not to reach for the phone. Whatever he's doing awake, his ramping up and extraordinary inability to know the consequences of these rants hints at a serious disturbance of some kind and Dean is at the very least forcing the media to stop shrugging.

-Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
-Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
-Exaggerating your achievements and talents
-Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
-Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
-Requiring constant admiration
-Having a sense of entitlement
-Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
-Taking advantage of others to get what you want
-Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
-Being envious of others and believing others envy you
-Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner

Or, could be both. In any case, something is seriously wrong with this man.

This is the guy who NEVER reveals sources, or people or very credible sources. His whole campaign is "I've heard from a number of people...", "My sources tell me...", "People are saying..."

Trump was ranting yesterday about Cuba and how it was all false, so the author of the article tweeted out "Proof:" and attached a copy of the invoice billing Trump Hotels for 'expenses incurred on trip to Cuba" and suggested that the payment be made through a charity because that was the only way if could be construed as legal!

Also it's like a kid who is disciplined by his parent, and then goes out and kicks the family dog! A typical bully looking for a safe outlet for his rage! Blame it on the woman! He can't do anything to Hillary so he takes it out on Miss Universe.

Narcissists believe themselves to be perfect - incapable of making mistakes - saying or doing anything wrong. Trump is now obsessing on the need to prove he was right to attack Alicia M for being fat and lazy. It really doesn't matter how bad this is politically - the rat bastard literally can't help himself.

The guy is sick - The kind of sick that will force him to destroy businesses because no one can tell him he's made a mistake, the kind of sick that could make him launch nuclear weapons, the kind of sick that makes him a national threat.

Whether Alicia Machado is an "angel" is irrelevant. The issue is whether Donald Trump called a woman Ms. Piggy solely because she gained 20-60 pounds after being named Miss Universe. Even if she did gain weight after winning Miss Universe there was no reason to call her Ms. Piggy.

Also, Hillary Clinton never presented Machado as an "angel". Clinton just stated the fact that Donald Trump had treated Machado like he had treated many other women. He had called her insulting names just because of her appearance.
