After a relative month of calm, Donald Trump has gone back to his old ways this week after he lost Monday nights big debate with Hillary Clinton.
On Friday morning, he went even further down the rabbit hole by telling voters to check out a nonexistent sex tape featuring former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.
Hillary Clinton quickly pounced on this and mocked Trump on Twitter for obsessively talking about about Machado over the past several days.

FYI: Trump's 18 years of fat shaming Alicia Machado is the longest commitment he's ever made to a woman.

The guy who is literally coming apart at the seams over former Miss Universe would also have us believe he's the toughest to take on ISIS.

they Always say "He tells it like it is and is a business person who will change things"
thinking about saying..."Well, yes, he has been extremely successful at business, but he seems to get distracted so easily when someone criticizes him, how do you know he'll have time to "fix the economy?" because people will still be criticizing him then"
And "I don't care what he did 20 years ago"
Me: "I agree 100%. But, last night he stayed up all night tweeting disparaging remarks about someone he knew 20 years ago. This is not very presidential. We thought he would start being presidential when he started running against Hillary. And, he didn't. What makes you so certain he will start if he wins?" and do you want your president tweeting bad things all night?

(10,952 posts)is a figment of his imagination:
He has been on one side or the other of 3500 law suits
He has filed bankruptcy several times
He negotiates contracts yet fails to honor them when he continues to stiff his suppliers and contractors. If he negotiates a contract with the intention of not holding up his end of the contract by either refusing to pay some or all of the contract amount that would be fraud. If he continually refuses payment on the grounds that he is not satisified with the goods and/or services then he is lousy businesman for failing to do due dilligence in whom he chooses to negotiate with. If he is that dissatisfied with so many suppliers/contractors the problem is not them it is him. And he has publicly admitted that he has not problem reneging on his contracts which goes to his character. As the Trump supporters if they would be ok if Trump stiffed them or their company.
He is a pathological liar. It boggles the mind that he continues to deny saying things that can be factually proven through audio tapes, video tapes, books witten for him in his name, interviews.
He claims that, as President, he will renegotiate trade deals. Good luck with that one. What on earth would make him think that any foreign country would sit down with him for serious negotiations? If I were a foreign leader I would find my toughest negotiator and let him play with Trump with the point being there would never be any kind of deal struck. He is flat out not a trustworthy, reliable person. His track record should prohibit any foreign country ever taking him seriously.
He tries to talk a tough game but when it came down to it a strong Democratic woman wiped the ground with him, humiliating him in the process.

Trump takes bait and poisons himself as predictably as a dog sits for a treat. Sad!

@realDonaldTrump You know that is a lie. Check the facts people. No sex tape. Trump is a very sick man and needs treatment and meds.
