Brave Donald Trump hiding behind his campaign!!!

Trump's recent response to the letter signed by 50 G.O.P. officials which just came out was obviously crafted by The Donald himself. (If I find, I'll add on edit at the bottom of this post.)

He attacks all 50 individuals as the people who made and implemented foreign policies which have ruined this country, bringing us to our current sorry state. This response has Trump written all over it. It's a direct and swift counter-punch, castigating anyone who challenges him as part of the problem.

By contrast, his surrogate on CNN was said only that the letter won't have much effect. That few people know who these 50 people are and fewer care still what they think. This is the product of much cooler heads. This is the product of the true campaign.

What does this tell us. It tells us he can't stop himself!! . . . He is incapable of so doing. . . . He might try to disguise it, but his crazy vindictive nature will continue to boil to the surface. . . . Sooner or later, under the duress of the moment or in the drugged adulation of his crowds, he'll slip, and slip, and slip again.

Fear not. He's going down.

6:42 p.m.

Donald Trump says a group of Republican former national security officials who are openly opposing him are the reason the world is "a mess."

. . .

Trump says their signatures make clear they're to blame for making the world so dangerous. He says they are "failed Washington elite" who must be held accountable.

Trump is tying the signatories to Hillary Clinton and says together they are responsible for the rise of the Islamic State group.

This is getting better by the minute! And it doubly proves my point (though now I have to qualify the charge of cowardice). He CANNOT STOP HIMSELF!!
