Sums up Trump's latest debacle nicely.

1. Dear Skinner, can we please have a "like" button on DU? It's for moments like this....

"like"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Rec = like, but would be good to be able to rec or like individual posts, maybe :) . . . . nt

[nolabear]

15. I'd love that.

[dhol82]

27. Me too

[babylonsister]

31. This would be great! nt

[Coyotl]

36. and have the most liked posts climb the ladder.

Have the most appreciated OP reply at the top instead of just a time chronology. That would be innovative, ahead of Facebook, et.al. even. Or, a sort capability. Also, sort forums by rec number.

[fleabiscuit]

17. It's a snivel of mine too.

18. +1000

2. His campaign is fragmenting. Baghdad Bob segment with Jason Miller on MSNBC

[dawnie51]

3. We have a winner!

[Coventina]

5. Haha! I'm totally stealing that!!!

[treestar]

6. He really is a disaster

He is trying to lose. He knows he cannot do the job.

[TryLogic]

7. He wants to be the first person to make money running for president.

[calimary]

11. I think that's it. I think he mainly wants to be able to slap the Presidential Seal on the front

doors of all his golf courses and hotel properties and on every gewgaw being hawked in every one of his gift shops.

OF COURSE he wants to use it to make money. To further his damn brand.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Except brand badly damaged. Biz down 59% at Trump properties. Maybe he'll start Trump TV w Ailes. nt

[treestar]

29. That's what he will be boasting about

when he loses and it probably won't even be true.

[uponit7771]

34. +1, he's spending a good portion of his money on t-shirts and shit

[Coyotl]

37. He has a personal vendetta against Obama after the put down he endured at the White House.

[calimary]

25. Did anybody see this? You're not alone in thinking that, treestar

He's Trying to Lose

[treestar]

30. Good one; thanks calimary

It explains everything. He refused to practice for the debates. He makes gaffe after gaffe. He doubles down on the worst parts of his performances. That’s crazy if you want the White House. But it’s genius if you want the headlines. All press is good press. It’s the perfect plan if your personal dopamine hit is seeing your own name in the headlines, day after day.

[Stonepounder]

8. Off to the Greatest Threads for you. n/t

[AnotherMother4Peace]

9. "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims..." then Trump probably has a problem.

[Richard D]

10. usually . . .

. . . LOL means a little chuckle. I'm not on the floor, but I'm laughing pretty hard.

Going to copy and spread it around too.

[calimary]

12. Who said that?

That's freakin' HILARIOUS!!!!

[Nitram]

13. I think maybe pepperbear said it.

[calimary]

22. Well, whoever said it, BRAVO/BRAVA!!!

I read it to my husband and he burst out laughing!

I love my guy! And pepperbear, if you said that, I love you, too!

[yardwork]

14. Even better - rant about porn!

[Laser102]

19. LMAO!! That is a keeper.

[world wide wally]

20. That is pretty astute

[Kablooie]

21. Imagine these things happening with him as president.

Whoo!
He'd be tweeting away state secrets just to get even for some personal slight.

[smirkymonkey]

23. K&R

[lastlib]

24. Donald Trump, um, *ROCKS*

(if you get my meaning..........)

[liberal N proud]

26. LoL

[Warpy]

28. At 3 AM and again at 5ish AM

I wonder if his sleep apnea wakes him up all night long and he's just not sleeping well, only in naps. It would explain a lot about how erratic he's become.

He's always been a scammer and a cheat but he was able to maintain at least the veneer of Honest Don the Fair Dealer and Good Guy until the last few years. That veneer has cracked and peeled and is now completely gone. Sleep deprivation could explain a lot of it.

[Egnever]

32. I guess when that 3 am call comes

at least he will be awake?

[Nitram]

39. I suspect he's indulging in self medication to dull the pain of his humiliation at the hands of

Clinton. That'll keep you up if you lean towards the more stimulating end of the pharmaceutical spectrum.

[CJohnson_LS]

33. Drumpf is such an utter dumbass

He just keeps on doubling down on this, alienating more and more people in the process. Which is a huge gift for us, as victory will be almost certain if he keeps messing up like this.

[C Moon]

35. Oh...wow...that is BRILLIANT!!

[Coyotl]

38. This cartoon says it all too:
