Frank Bruni on Trump: We Just Witnessed an 'Act of Self-Immolation Without the Flames'

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

11. Just the other day Trump thanked a bot on twitter

The point here clearly is, Trump must think he cannot afford to lose any of his support base. His fans he calls that. He uses words over and over like sic, sad, pathetic ,fake, lie's,liars . Who is sick,who is sad,who is fake ,who is the liar and who is stuck in place where he has nowhere specifically to assign blame ? In short he cannot lie his way past this and as a result of that he has become flippant as all hell. One too many times he falls down that hole and melt total down will no doubt be imminent .
