Trump is entirely delusional about why he’s losing. His new campaign shakeup proves it.

Trump is entirely delusional about why he’s losing. His new campaign shakeup proves it.

The big news of the morning — that Donald Trump has shaken up his campaign and is doubling down on the narrow strategy that worked in the GOP primaries but is failing catastrophically in the general election — would appear to leave only two possibilities.

Either Trump is delusional, to the point of being entirely incapable of appreciating why he’s currently losing to Hillary Clinton. Or he has a diabolical plan to break apart the Republican Party and pocket a big chunk of it for himself, for post-election fun and profit. My money is on the former.

Are going to destroy the old GOP and turn the remnants into a personnel Jim Jones style party/media creation.

Trump can just sit back while the crazies send him their rent money/social security/kids lunch money and get all the adoration he feels he deserves.

GOP...someone named Trump wants to see you....
