This is how the tweet storm came about-- drumpf was left unsupervised

Vanity Fair

DONALD TRUMP IS SELF-DESTRUCTING OVER ALICIA MACHADO
An army of handlers trying to keep Trump focused can’t stop the G.O.P. nominee from going on another
late-night Twitter rampage.

Kellyanne Conway has achieved rare success among Donald Trump’s campaign managers at keeping the candidate comparatively on message, but even she has to sleep. Perhaps that is why the Republican presidential nominee, left unsupervised in the small hours of the morning, thought it would be a good idea to fire off a series of explosive tweets, between 3:20 A.M. and 5:30 A.M., attacking former Miss Universe Alicia Machado as “disgusting,” questioning her citizenship, and instructing his followers to “check out [her] sex tape.”

Of course, she has spent the last 3 decades being just as slimy and disgusting and opportunistic a liar as Trump, so one would think they'd be a great match. They are both -10 in my book. The real Ugly Americans.

Sneaking around in order to issue tweets-- bizarro. This person aspires to govern our country???

I guess Conway will just have to confiscate his phone from now on when she turns in-- just to be sure.

I don't know how much more of this utterly bizarre reality show I can stand-- we still have over a month.

What's next??

Like the old TV show, "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?"

The record shows tRump has been a playground bully his entire business life.

Then there were his high school years, which to him were harder than military service in war zones.

Then he took daddy's "small" $14 MILLION gift to pyramid it successfully into a $914 BILLION loss (and brag about it).

You need to find an instance where he grew out of childhood in order to claim he is in his second one.

whole damn thing and I wish someone with more charisma and leadership skills than me would organize a boycott of all media that gives more coverage to DT than HRC - I mean, way lopsided favoritism. And fyi - negative attention is still attention, and still helps to feed the monster.

Yah I know that doesnt leave many but fer Chrissakes - enough already.

That is the most likely reason for an old man to be up in the middle of the night, he had to pee.

He has created so much fodder to sort through that they have to be selective and settle on only the main nuggets.

She's hard to parody because she's weirder than the parody.
