Talk of Donald Trump ‘meltdowns’ tends to be overblown. For eight years, we’ve been told, frequently, that he’s losing the plot, fuming at staffers, having tantrums and setting fire to his re-election hopes. Somehow, however, the Trump train keeps chugging on.
This week, Republican strategists are telling Politico that Trump is having ‘a public nervous breakdown’ and many Democrats are gloating that he and JD Vance just can’t handle being called ‘weird’ by Kamala Harris and her new running mate, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota.
The Trump campaign now believes that Walz gives them a chance to ‘reset’
It is true that, having run a surprisingly disciplined campaign for most of the year, Trump and his team seem to be behaving more erratically than usual. On Monday, Republicans tried to blame ‘Kamala Krash’, as Trump called her, for the sharp slide in the stock markets. But the markets began recovering on Monday afternoon, which dampened that line of attack.
