Federalist: Trump's Fake 2016 Campaign Is A Cry For Help
From a conservative website, no less.
Donald Trump is not running for president. Donald trump is running for attention. And not because hes proud of his significant business accomplishments, but because he appears to feel deeply insecure about his place in the world.
-snip-
This is a man so petty and insecure that he sued a writer for having the audacity to refer to him as a mere millionaire. Thats right: he sued someone, claiming $5 billion in damages, because that person did not sufficiently trumpet Trumps wealth. Normal, well-adjusted people do not do things like that, but Donald Trump is no normal person.
In 2007, Trump whined that Forbes pegged his net worth at $3 billion instead of $7 billion.
A normal person does not mock Mitt Romney for being poor. You read that correctly: Donald Trump made fun of Mitt Romney for not having as much money as Trump.
Well, Mitt Romney is a basically small-business guy, if you really think about it, Trump told CNN in 2011. [Im] much bigger than this man and have a much, much bigger net worth. I mean my net worth is many, many, many times Mitt Romney.
Sick burn, bro.

. . . IMO, the writer is participating in a kind of denial about what the Republican Party has become.
