Resume attacking opponent...check.This was the "to do list" of Republican Nominee Donald Trump this past week. These actions pose a question. Seriously, what is going on here? Are you in on the plan to ensure that Hillary is elected president? It sure seems that this is the answer.
While Trump was stealing the spotlight for ALL the WRONG reasons, all of Hillary's lies and "missteps" all but went unnoticed. There was plenty to attack her on. The contradiction in her statements about her emails, how what she said differs from that of the FBI. How poll numbers still believe she is not to be trusted, despite her bounce post-convention. Each of these opportunities were served up to Trump on a silver platter, and he "pooh poohed" them away, and instead opted to piss off and scare the bejeezus out of the Republican party. Even after "correcting" some of his errors, and resuming attacks, he still did NOT mention anything on the missteps made by Hillary this past week. He shifts the blame to the media, accusing them (and maybe rightfully so) of being pro-Hillary.
This is all just a little too weird. Sure, Trump is eccentric. Sure he has some bad business deals. Sure, he has been married a few times. However, you don't become one of this country's wealthiest men by being and acting stupid. Something is just not right! Could this all be a game in order to break apart the Republican party while handing Hillary the keys to the White House? It sure seems that way. Trump has a head for business, and everyone knows this. His reality TV show, the Celebrity Apprentice, shows him cutting through the bull in order to make sure that the best potential employee is hired at the end. While cutting down, the reasoning he makes for firing some, and keeping others, makes sense once he breaks it down. Where is THAT Trump? With less than 100 days until America goes to the polls to elect a new President of the United States, one would think that the business savvy Trump would be the one emerging, and taking control. His running mate Pence, seems to be doing a one-man show, while pulling double duty. He is campaigning, and cleaning behind Trump at the same time. Is this all part of the bigger picture?
Like him or not, Trump is intelligent. However, everyone can agree that the actions and words he has spewed across the media suggest otherwise. There are old pictures of Donald cozy with the Clintons from not so far back in the day. We know Trump has a dislike for our favorite President, Barack Obama which may be the reason to turn on Hillary. If this is the case, why not allow another Republican candidate gain the nomination and go after her? It is simple. Take note that Trump is not only dissatisfied with Obama, but with all Republicans as a whole. By winning the nomination, and then turning his attack onto his own, he is ripping the entire party to shreds....check. As he rips them to shreds, they will have to regroup, rethink, and proceed in a completely different manner in order to be taken seriously again...check. Until then, the White House is solely for Hillary to lose on her own...check. It may very well be Trump is playing us all. He may never have wanted the presidency in the first place. He successfully "fired" all contenders who are of the status quo. He is completing the house cleaning by causing some GOP members to disavow him while others jump ship, and even announce they will jump parties. If Trump's sole goal is to shake up and change the Republican party? We have to say...job well done...CHECK!
