My correspondent rejoins with an authoritative source on Trump<\/a> – Michael Moore:<\/p>\n

A follow-up to our discussion a few days ago:\u00a0http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/election-2016\/trump-self-sabotage-campaign?src=newsletter1061977<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From that article<\/a>:<\/p>\n

But, let me throw out another theory, one that assumes Trump isn\u2019t as dumb or crazy as he looks. Maybe the meltdown of the past three weeks was no accident. Maybe it\u2019s all part of his new strategy to get the hell out of a race he never intended to see through to its end anyway. Because, unless he is just \u201ccrazy,\u201d the only explanation for the unusual ramping up, day after day, of one disgustingly reckless statement after another is that he\u2019s doing it consciously (or subconsciously) so that he\u2019ll have to bow out or blame \u201cothers\u201d for forcing him out. Many now are sensing the end game here because they know Trump seriously doesn\u2019t want to do the actual job\u2014and most importantly, he cannot and WILL NOT suffer through being officially and legally declared a loser\u2014LOSER!\u2014on the night of November 8.<\/p>\n

Trust me, I\u2019ve met the guy. Spent an afternoon with him. He would rather invite the Clintons and the Obamas to his next wedding than have that scarlet letter L branded on his forehead seconds after the last polls have closed on that night, the evening of the final episode of the permanently canceled Donald Trump Shit-Show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael fails to cite sources, but it’s a fun read, nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
