Following odd tirade, is there 'something wrong with' Trump? | MSNBC

"The Atlantic’s James Fallows, watching this spectacle unfold, wrote, “It would be rash ever to declare Peak Trump. But really, there is something wrong with this man.” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes added, “I’ve been watching these now for 13 months … and that was the most unhinged thing that I’ve seen from him. It was all over the place. It was like Charlie Sheen during his ‘Winning’ tour.”

 
And then it got worse.
 
After the event, Trump took on the role of an online troll,publishing an image from Disney with a six-pointed star, demanding to know why the media isn’t outraged by this.
 
This probably shouldn’t be necessary, but The New Republic’s Jeet Heer explained, “What Trump fails to realize is that the original tweet was offensive because of the context: The star was placed over money in a message about political corruption, playing to old anti-Semitic tropes about wealthy Jews controlling the political process. (It doesn’t help that the image came from an anti-Semitic message board.) None of that, of course, applies to Frozen.”
