TIME: Inside Donald Trump's Summer Meltdown

Carl Herrera · Aug 11, 2016

So, this is why Trump tried to "pivot" after that Paul Ryan feud. Reince got frustrated and threatened to withdraw money. Money is the only language that Trump understands-- and he is barely literate in that.

When Donald Trump mucks things up, the first person to let him know is usually Republican Party boss Reince Priebus. Almost every day, Trump picks up his cell phone to find Priebus on the line, urging him to quash some feud or clarify an incendiary remark.

The Wisconsin lawyer has been a dutiful sherpa to the Manhattan developer, guiding him through the dizzying altitude of the presidential race and lobbying the GOP to unite behind a figure who threatens its future.

But every bond has its breaking point. For this partnership, the moment nearly arrived in early August. Priebus was on vacation when he learned that Trump had declined to endorse Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House and a close friend. The chairman had a frank message for the nominee, according to two Republican officials briefed on the call. Priebus told Trump that internal GOP polling suggested he was on track to lose the election. And if Trump didn’t turn around his campaign over the coming weeks, the Republican National Committee would consider redirecting party resources and machinery to House and Senate races.

Trump denies the exchange ever took place. “Reince Priebus is a terrific guy,” Trump told TIME. “He never said that.” Priebus could not be reached for comment. But whatever the exact words spoken on the phone, there is no doubt that the possibility Republicans will all but abandon Trump now haunts his struggling campaign...

Read this article yesterday. Trump's worst enemy is his own ego. He's far too thin-skinned and petty to handle the demands of the Presidency especially with what's going on now in Russia and the Middle East. He'd never be able to tolerate 1% of the BS he's hurled at Obama over the past 8 years about his birth certificate, heritage and capacity to lead. Had their positions been reversed with Obama making those same accusations against him, I could see him going off the deep end and having Obama jailed for insubordination or some other such crap.

At the very least Trump would sue for libel.
