Trump Goes Berserk in 5:30 AM Twitter Rant Telling Americans to Watch a ‘Sex Tape’
Trump Has an Overnight Twitter ‘Machado Meltdown’
It looks like Donald Trump’s campaign must be in big trouble. The billionaire businessman went off the rails overnight, first tweeting to his supporters at 3:20 AM EDT “DO NOT believe” media reports “saying ‘sources said,'” because “they are just made up lies!”
Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying “sources said,” DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!

Clearly news reports are getting to him. Perhaps it’s the story in which a former Trump executive confirmed Trump’s company went on an expedition to Cuba against federal law, spending a reported $68,000 to examine how to do business under Castro, should the U.S. embargo be lifted.Â
But that wasn’t his most shocking overnight tweet.
Two hours later, at 5:30 AM EDT, Trump went on an explosive Twitter rant about the former Miss Universe winner he fat-shamed by calling her “Miss Piggy” and whose heritage he denigrated by calling her “Miss Housekeeping.”
Alicia Machado has gone on record, detailing the disgusting ways Trump treated her, how his very personal attacks against her led her to develop an eating disorder, how shaming her affected her life.

Hillary Clinton told the 84 million Americans who watched Monday night’s presidential debate all about Alicia Machado and how Trump, as the owner of the Miss Universe organization, emotionally abused her.
Apparently it all came to a head overnight.
At 5:30 AM Friday morning, Trump again took to Twitter, urging Americans to watch a “sex tape” of Machado he apparently believes exists:
Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2016
Whether or not it exists is irrelevant. She is a private individual and can do as she pleases. (UPDATE: no “sex tape.”) It’s also irrelevant if Hillary Clinton helped Machado become a U.S. citizen. And while there’s no evidence she did, it should be considered commendable, not criminal, to help someone become an American citizen. That’s the work of a patriot and a statesman, a person who loves their country. Hundreds of people every day, after investing great time and effort, become U.S. citizens. We as Americans tend to applaud them, not agitate over that act.
Minutes before his vile tweet trying to “slut-shame” Machado, Trump also attacked Clinton on Twitter:
Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U. Hillary floated her as an “angel” without checking her past, which is terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2016
Using Alicia M in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT! Hillary was set up by a con.

Here’s how some responded to Trump’s overnight Twitter “Machado Meltdown”:
Trump’s gone from erratic to unhinged, from vulgar to gross, from unfit to be president to unfit to be called sane. https://t.co/wboXJRixbK

sometimes you have to step back:

My temperament is tremendous, said the 70-year old man who told America to watch a sex tape that doesn’t exist at 430 AM on a Friday morning
— LOLGOP (@LOLGOP) September 30, 2016
Okay, now I have coffee. I have confirmed that @realDonaldTrump has been up tweeting since 4 a.m. against a 19-year-old gal he knew in 1996.

This is his idea of distracting people from his criminal activity in Cuba (allegedly). https://t.co/m5GNtx9rAB
