In less than four months, a new president will take the oath and swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is Twitter fighting a former beauty queen.
Among potential supporters gobsmacked by Trump’s latest screwball turn, some believe it proves he doesn’t want to win the White House. Their theory holds that the possibility of victory must terrify him, so he is intentionally making himself unelectable.
As evidence, they point to his habit of self-destructing just when things look best. Then as now, Trump pushed the race to almost even before taking a detour to wage a fight that made no sense.
In late July, after his stunning run to the nomination and after a solid convention, Trump had nearly tied Hillary Clinton in the polls.
Then he launched a Twitter fight with the Khans, a Gold Star, Muslim family.
