and they sound relatively rational and focused. Then Trump shoves himself in front and starts blathering about how he's been abused and the media is mean to him and he is right always... and the market immediately drops, and so, I think, does his approval with anyone but his base.

He looks like an angry idiot.

'You don't know the numbers. YOU DON"T KNOW! You don't know!" There's all this aggression and gorilla dominance. I have the numbers and you don't!

No one who isn't already approving of him will approve now.

And he's saying the reporters should be farther away from each other, while he's hanging right over the other people on the stage.

I agree, though, if "he" sends checks out, some people might be swayed by that. So if that's going to be happening, I hope it's soon so that the effect wears off.
