‘Trump is getting nuttier and nuttier’: Campaign operative unloads on his ‘irrational’ candidate

[DonViejo]

The Trump campaign has sprung several leaks in the past day, as campaign operatives have unleashed their frustration with the candidate to NBC News, ABC News and CNBC.

Now the New York Post has scored an interview with an unnamed Trump operative who says that his candidate is going completely off the rails.

“Trump is getting nuttier and nuttier,” the operative told the publication. “I did not think he’d be great in a general election, and thought there’d be episodes of paranoia/irrationality, but this is surprising for me.”

On Tuesday evening, one of CNBC reporter John Harwood’s sources said that people inside the Trump campaign were feeling “suicidal” about their candidate’s most recent missteps, while a Trump campaign source told NBC News reporter Ali Vitali that Trump’s behavior is “way worse than people realize.” In other words, it seems that people within Trump’s own campaign are now openly raising questions about his mental stability.

It goes without saying that this is very much uncharted territory.

1. Obviously Melania Cut Him Off

has anybody seen her in awhile

4. I saw her

... looking miserable while watching his acceptance speech at the GOP convention.

She looked more unhappy to me than Bernie Sanders' supposed unhappy expression that Trump pointed out.

Maybe Donald abused her after her speech like when he pulled out Ivana's hair?

Ivana Trump’s assertion of “rape” came in a deposition—part of the early ’90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.

The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.

“Your fu**ing doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there.

“As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: ‘Does it hurt?’” Hurt writes.

2. CNN (Dana Bash) was actually discussing speculation that Trump may drop out.

Bash stressed several times that it was mere speculation, but that was the first I've actually heard of it on a major news network.

This was on the Costello Morning Show.

3. Trump's behavior is ebullient and optimistic. Detached from reality. So doubt he will drop out

He appears to me to be convinced his strategery is working and he's winning.

JMHO

5. I don't think he is going to drop out either.

But I was fascinated that the subject was even being discussed.

6. That ego will not drop out

He is so delusional and full of himself he is convinced he is winning and by saying that the election will be rigged shows he and his supporters are in a bubble. They refuse to face the facts and reality Cheeto is woefully dangerous and unprepared.

And I think he beat up Melania and had her punished by allowing Murdoch to publish those embarrassing pictures. You know she must feel humiliated and depressed. I would be surprised to see her on the campaign again anytime soon.

7. I disagree

That ego will not allow him to be shellaced by a woman. He said at the beginning of his campaign that he'd stay in as long as his poll numbers we're good.

8. In your guts ... you know he nuts! n/t
