I've probably made this point about 20 times, but it probably is worth repeating. One of the key GOP strategies when dealing with an opponent is to accuse their opponent of doing the things that the GOP person is actually doing. People have been saying Trump is unhinged, dangerous, forgetful, under a foreign power, etc. So he comes back and says that Clinton is all of those things, though he adapts it slightly to her personalty. So this week she's been called dangerous, brainwashed (under the power of some outsider), unhinged, etc. This is just an attempt to go tit for tat, making the populace feel like there is no difference between the two.
Sadly, it will work among those people who aren't crazy about Clinton and/or think there is no difference between the parties. On a related note, my mom strongly falls into the second group, but she has made the exception in this election because Trump is so obviously insane. I'm hoping she represents the majority and this tact by Trump will not work.
