This morning, Trump was up way before dawn sending a flurry of tweets about Alicia Machado, who is Miss Universe 1996:

Why does Trump keep talking about this woman? Is it he can't let go of grudges?

I don't want an obsessive grudge-holder for President. That is scary. I don't care how many "high-quality" advisors he surrounds himself with if he's the one calling the shots!

And unbelievably he invites voters to watch sex tapes of hers, which according to Snopes don't even exist, but there are lookalike videos:

It really is disturbing. Talk about not letting it go. This could be where he starts to come completely unhinged.

Trump keeps bringing her up because she was brought up at the debate by his opponent. He has to discredit the woman to show just what kind of cronies Hillary associates herself with.

I, for one, want to hear all of it. Hillary should have been more on the ball than that. She's the one who reached down in the dirt and brought up "Miss Piggy" and it bit her in the butt.

His best move would have been to ignore it. He's making a fool of himself. Tweeting in the middle of the night like a schoolkid.

I call his tweets "being personally in touch with his voters". I love it.

USA Today: USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency'

Quote:
This year, one of the candidates — Republican nominee Donald Trump — is, by unanimous consensus of the Editorial Board, unfit for the presidency.
...
Whether through indifference or ignorance, Trump has betrayed fundamental commitments made by all presidents since the end of World War II. These commitments include unwavering support for NATO allies, steadfast opposition to Russian aggression, and the absolute certainty that the United States will make good on its debts. He has expressed troubling admiration for authoritarian leaders and scant regard for constitutional protections


But he does know how to use Twitter.

Looks like Trump is setting himself up to be his own October Surprise...

This is potentially worse for Trump than the Khizr Khan incident, which saw him plummet in the polls...

Even a minor deterioration of his (already low) popularity among female voters is likely to be quite influential in the election, simply because of the sheer size of the segment.

BTW, since early voting (which has increased in recent years) has kicked off now, some of the backlash against Trump may be permanent, as people may cast their vote against him before he has a chance to reverse the trend...

Trump is a racist, a crook, a bully and much much more. I honestly feel most of his supporters are just like him. I feel if he wasn't running for president- he probably would've been banned from Twitter by now. He has zero right to bully people like he has. There's a difference between disagreeing with someone and bullying them. He needs to act like an adult, instead of an immature brat anytime someone disagrees with him.. period.

There's nothing particularly personal about tweets at all. Anyone can send out hundreds of tweets without caring a scrap about who's reading them.

Trump pressured his future wife to pose for Playboy:

It's not only the fact that she was in porn, she was an accessory to a murder with her boyfriend and has a kid with a Mexican drug lord, she was being used by the Clinton campaign as a media surrogate to attack Trump so discrediting her is fair game. I don't think this Machado is all that sympathetic and isn't somebody Hillary wants speaking on her behalf. They obviously should of vetted her better.

Its called beating your opponent to the punch. Bring up their sex tape before they bring up yours.

Does Hillary Clinton have a sex tape?
