Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is a total blowhard. During this entire election year, he has been saying nasty things about every group imaginable. Top GOP members are now telling Trump to behave himself or he will lose the Republican party’s support.
He hit a new low last week when he suggested that Hillary Clinton should be shot. Insiders on the campaign talk of his erratic behavior. This is how Trump insiders are describing the current state of his campaign:
“In private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say. He veers from barking at members of his staff to grumbling about how he was better off following his own instincts during the primaries and suggesting he should not have heeded their calls for change…”
“[I]n interviews with more than 20 Republicans who are close to Mr. Trump or in communication with his campaign, many of whom insisted on anonymity to avoid clashing with him, they described their nominee as exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered by fine points of the political process and why his incendiary approach seems to be sputtering.”
Then, he whined about how the newspapers are portraying him:
The failing @nytimes has become a newspaper of fiction. Their stories about me always quote non-existent unnamed sources. Very dishonest!

He has been told to change his attitude, and this is how he responded to that:
The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said

First, he was saying that he is losing because “the system is rigged.” Now, he has changed gears and is saying that it’s the media’s fault.
Here is some more of his whiny Twitter tantrum:
If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%

How dare we write about the things coming out of his mouth? Earlier this week, he actually said that President Barack Obama founded ISIS. Right, Trump, it’s the media’s fault. Wrong! You are the incompetent one.
This is not the first time he has clashed with the media. Here is a video showing how Trump threatens freedom of the press:
