It's been a little disappointing lately though, no huge screw ups in what, a week?

Talk about shooting himself in the foot. He'd had millions and millions of dollars worth of exposure handed to him on a silver platter, now he's screwing that up as well.

Besides, they were saying 'mean things' about him (i.e. quoting his exact words), and he's so thin-skinned that he just HAS to be snarky in response. This will also garner him a massive amount of free exposure, which his hardcore supporters will turn a blind eye to and dismiss as just another example of liberal media bias.

See Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" for a cogent explanation of the tRump phenomena.
