Trump grounded from Twitter

Trump grounded from Twitter
Yes, I know we were disussing this in another thread, but I think this deserves it's own topic.  
Plus, I don't want to keep bumping that thread, since it's so much garbage now.

So, here it is, Trump's aids are fighting over his behavior, and how to keep him on message. his campaign is falling apart from the inside out, and yes, in order to control his image they have apparently taken away his access to Twitter.

New York Times original article

Quote:On the surface, there is the semblance of stability that is robbing Hillary Clinton of her most potent weapon: Mr. Trump’s self-sabotaging eruptions, which have repeatedly undermined his candidacy. Underneath that veneer, turbulence still reigns, making it difficult for him to overcome all of the obstacles blocking his path to the White House.

The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.


Quote:Mr. Trump’s campaign is no longer making headlines with embarrassing staff shake-ups. But that has left him with a band of squabbling and unfireable advisers, with confusing roles and an inability to sign off on basic tasks. A plan to encourage early voting in Florida went unapproved for weeks.

The result is chaotic. Advisers cut loose from the campaign months ago, like Corey Lewandowski, still talk to the candidate frequently, offering advice that sometimes clashes with that of the current leadership team. Mr. Trump, who does not use a computer, rails against the campaign’s expenditure of tens of millions on digital ads, skeptical that spots he never sees could have any effect.


Quote:This inside account of the Trump campaign’s final stretch is based on interviews with dozens of aides, operatives, supporters and advisers, many of whom were granted anonymity to describe moments and conversations that were intended to be confidential. 


So it appears as if he's having an internal meltdown that his aids and advisers are desperately hiding from public view.

What got Trump through the primary is killing him in the general. Ironic.

He's got a point.

Seriously. This ought to be bigger news in my opinion. Temperaments vary, and there certainly isn't only one style that is "presidential", but he's got the temperament of Veruca Salt from Charlie and the chocolate factory. He apparently has almost zero self control, for real, and has to be handled with kid gloves even by those closest to him. He's an international catastrophe waiting to happen.
