I tend not to follow the news as it depresses me so when someone told me about this I seriously thought it was a joke. Here’s a recent tweet from Trump:

“Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!”

Wow.

He’s a genius at starting, running, and flipping or dumping businesses. There’s no evidence he understands anything very far outside his little real estate echo chamber. I’m sure most Americans understand that. When it comes to presidential politics, the GOP is pretty much a minority party. They are a majority when it comes to the legislative branch. So, 25% or so of the minority party means he probably right now speaks for about 10% of the electorate at best. A lot of them will surely abandon him the closer we get to the nomination convention. If he’s eliminated before then, the worst he can do (which is ironically the best for most of us) is run a third party campaign that hands the election over to the Democratic Party. So, don’t lose any sleep over Trump. Just enjoy his antics knowing that he’s a clown.
