We joked about it months ago that Trump was this 'mole' for the Clintons sent in to destroy the Republican party from within. Did I seriously believe that? Well, no not exactly. I think Trump did this because of ego, he was trolling the whole way through, some of it was a publicity stunt.. but then he fukked around and won.
So Trump has two things going on.
1. He doesn't want to be President. I don't believe he wants a 24/7 job like that. Remember the stories about him trying to recruit Kasich for VP and having him do all the work
2.Trump doesn't want to get blown the fukk out and look like a complete incompetent moron.
So he's in a bit of a bind. It's too late to drop out. So he's doing things that will sabotage the election further but things where he can go back and try to lay blame, whether it's the media, PC crowd, whatever.
It's a new stunt every week. Attacking a war vet's family was a new low. They gained a lot of traction. This week he's looking for something new. Hey, why not suggest that there should be an uprising with gun owners
