5. Ignore him. Nothing is more painful to an attention seeking narcissist than to be ignored....

They thrive on and crave any and all attention. So.... ignore him.

Remember, the caveat in marketing is 'there is no such thing as bad publicity'. His 'campaign' thrives on just getting attention. He says nothing of merit, nothing of importance, the only thing that gets people's attention is his tantrums and bad behavior.

If we, en masse, ignore his bad behavior, he will have to keep reaching to extremes and making a further fool of himself, to the point of absurdity. Ok, well yeah, he already is absurd, there is that.

Think of it like this though, he's like a shitty poker player at the table who keeps going all in without playing the game. He flushes out the weaker players, like jeb? carson, etc. They have to keep making bigger fools of themselves to stay in the game, and they're going broke, fast. Meanwhile he keeps blowing all his cash and eventually has to drop out when his all ins get called by the patient players who are laying up, waiting for him to make mistakes.

Take jeb? off the table and the race for President might be almost genuine.

Rubio could be a legit contender, but doesn't have the strength to win against Mrs. Clinton.

It will be fine. The more we ignore trump, the worse he'll make himself look.
