Since his birtherism became a story in the campaign, Donald Trump has gone into full meltdown mode. The Republican nominee has again called for Hillary Clinton to be killed, thrown a tantrum about CNN, and attacked a former Defense Secretary.
Trump continued the meltdown that began when he tried to change shift the subject away from his birtherism by calling for Hillary Clinton to be shot.
For good measure, Trump repeated his claim that Hillary Clinton’s security should disarm on Twitter:
Crooked Hillary wants to take your 2nd Amendment rights away. Will guns be taken from her heavily armed Secret Service detail? Maybe not!

Trump spent Saturday morning attacking former defense secretary Robert Gates over an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal that blistered the GOP nominee:
I never met former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He knows nothing about me. But look at the results under his guidance – a total disaster!

Trump also doesn’t like the fact that CNN is telling the truth about his birtherism, so he threw a fit in the media’s direction too:
.@CNN just doesn't get it, and that's why their ratings are so low – and getting worse. Boring anti-Trump panelists, mostly losers in life!

After a few weeks of kind of, sort of, maybe holding it together, Trump has come unglued. The reality is that the only reason why Trump’s poll numbers improved was that Hillary Clinton had a difficult couple of weeks of media coverage. Trump is still the most unpopular nominee in history, and more importantly, he is just as unhinged as ever.
Trump hasn’t changed. He is still the same candidate who at the first sight of things not going his way is prone to falling apart. Republicans could be walking into disaster by sending a man with such a fragile constitution on to one of the biggest pressure in the world.
In nine days, Donald Trump will debate Hillary Clinton, and if the Trump who is in full meltdown mode shows up, Republicans will be in big trouble.
