Inside Trump Tower, an Increasingly Upset and Alone Donald Trump
By MAGGIE HABERMAN OCT. 9, 2016

It has been his pride and his palace, a soaring black skyscraper overlooking Manhattan that seemed to match Donald J. Trump’s ambition and ostentatiousness.

But Trump Tower, since Friday afternoon, has become a kind of lonely fortress for its most famous occupant, who holes up inside, increasingly isolated and upset, denounced almost every hour by another Republican official.

Mr. Trump was asked to stay away from a party gathering Saturday afternoon in Wisconsin, where Speaker Paul D. Ryan and other state luminaries took the stage, a striking rebuke that left the Republican nominee for president with no place to go on a Saturday 31 days before the election.

1. One hopes he knows he's losing. The other scenario, his public stance, makes him look insane.

3. Trump is in his bunker

Somebody needs to make one of those Hitler memes about Trump LOL

11. A third scenario: Russian or other parties to whom he owes

money insist that he stay in--or he realizes he has NO hope of discharging his debts or repaying favors unless he somehow can win the election.

2. Now Dump will move into his Stalin stage.

The ever increasing list of imaginary and real GOP 'traitors' to his mighty empire of water and golf balls. Wow, the part of solidarity sure is having a real problem playing nice with each other.

LOVE IT! FUCKING MORE OF THIS!

4. I confess these are my favorite stories.

The article ended stated everyone thinks he will regain repuke support by making Bill Clinton the story of the debate.

It will show him to be the bully that he is, denigrating Hillary for Bill's behavior. It will also show that he only wants to defend his behavior by attacking others. He will not let this go.

There will be no policy discussed tonight. That's OK, we already know Hillary's stance on issues and that Trump's an ignoramus.

6. She will talk policy, but I expect to see a smile on her face the entire time.

Trump is an ignoramus and that is why HRC knows she is going to win hands down.

8. From what I have read , Trump will go after Hillary herself--how she susposedly mistreated

and demeaned the women who are allegedly involved. I have to admit--I did not listen to much of that crap years ago and do not know the story/stories. I have seen lots of nasty tweets though

12. I don't know much about that either. Since she was First Lady of Arkansas or the USA at the

time, I expect she conducted herself as well as anybody could.

One of my bosses had a woman try to extort money because she was with my boss's husband. One of Michael Douglas' paramours used to terrorize Catherine Zeta Jones.

I guess we'll get the story tonight. I hope Hillary doesn't play his game and shuts him down fast. Trump will come off as a bully and harasser.

5. I saw a clip that Trump went outside the doors of Trump Tower to a cheering fan club

crowd. He just waved and smiled. Guess he needed to know he still had his loyal fans.

7. It's lonely at the top

Or the bottom

That was one observation of him when he moved into his penthouse on the PBS documentary

10. Someone in the Trump camp is talking

I don't know who, but it has to be.
