I think this is true to an extent, but I think it's also very clear he's a thin skinned child, and this kind of thing will infuriate him forcing him to act irrationally, and hopefully alienate some of the people potentially voting for him.

Actor, former underwear model and reality show star Antonio Sabato Jr. — who stumped for Donald Trump on the floor of the Republican National Convention Monday — told ABC News that he "absolutely" believes President Barack Obama is a Muslim.

"We had a Muslim president for 7 1/2 years," Sabato said. "I don't believe he is [a Christian]."

Trump, who spearheaded the birther movement, repeatedly questioned whether the president is an American and if he is a Muslim.

Obama has repeatedly said that he is a Christian.

Sabato said that for the last 7 1/2 years, he has "seen this country take a bad turn" under Obama's leadership. "This guy made it really hard for me to support him," he said about Obama, saying that the president entered office with an agenda to move the country to the left.
He said that police officers and the military don't like Obama and implied that he was not American.

"I believe that he's on the other side ... the Middle East," Sabato told ABC News. "He's with the bad guys."

He said that he was not concerned about vocally supporting Trump in liberal-leaning Hollywood and didn't care if that caused people to judge him.

"So be it," he said.

this is what i'm poorly alluding to. pick on the issue that its the campaign let this happen instead of a deluge of memes that has quotes attributed to Melania.

in the end it doesn't matter cause with Trump there is no such thing as bad publicity.

my least favorite part of this election has been old-guard Republicans acting saddened and aghast like they didn't foster, support and rely on that kind of attitude to fuel their party for decades now.

I mean yeah rational humans that are probably already going to not vote for Trump might see it that way. But for everyone else, he'll just do his thing where he yells and interrupts and name calls and shrugs and rolls his eyes and people will eat it up. In order to keep up, Hillary will have to raise her voice, which is not a good choice

Come on. The CNN pundits were bending over backwards to give poor Melania a pat on the head last night. "It's not her fault." "She did a great job." "I feel sorry for her."

It was insanely condescending, in all reality. No way in hell does a female attorney such as Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton get a pass like that. Especially one that claimed in a national tv interview that she wrote it herself with "as little help as possible." But because Melania is widely regarded as being nothing more than eye candy? "It's not her fault." Sure.

So outside of the Twitter memes (which are a fact of life anymore), what have you seen that picked on Melania? Everything I've seen has been focused on the campaign reaction and the identity of the speechwriter.
