October 31, 2016 - "Over the course of decades, Donald Trump’s companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documentsdemanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tactics—exposed by a Newsweek review of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court cases—have enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggled—sometimes in vain—to obtain records."
October 29, 2016 - "In a revealing behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic Donald Trump campaign, insiders describe a floundering operation with a feckless egomaniac at its helm who has no grasp of how badly things are spinning out of control.
“Think of the bunker right before Hitler killed himself,” said one anonymous campaign staffer to New York Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman. “Donald’s in denial. They’re all in denial.”
The New York article details what many observers have long suspected. Trump’s inability to discipline himself as a candidate has ultimately been his undoing. Advisers and aides can offer advice, but as one Republican donor said, “Trump has the following personality: NIH-NFW, meaning ‘If it’s not invented here, not invented behind these eyes, then it’s no fucking way.’ ”
Trump batted aside suggestions that he should not have attacked the Khan family, Muslim-Americans whose son perished in Iraq.
“You do know you just attacked a Gold Star family?” one adviser reportedly told Trump.
The candidate had no idea what a Gold Star family is: “What’s that?” he asked.
As Trump has trended downward in the polls, conservatives both for and against his presidency have looked on with a mixture of pity, disappointment and despair."
