'She's a lunatic!': GOP insiders call for 'wake up moment' as Trump embraces MAGA 'kook'

Trump is 'hanging himself' with his own rope as campaign spirals out of control: analyst

During an MSNBC panel discussion on Donald Trump allowing himself to be influenced by far-right characters, which had a marked influence on his Tuesday night debate performance, contributor Ed Luce suggested the former president has quickly become his own worst enemy.

Speaking with the hosts on "Morning Joe," the Financial Times columnist claimed the Trump campaign's downward spiral is purely the result of the candidate himself.

Noting that the former president recently added far-right conspiracist Laura Loomer to his travel entourage, Luce explained "This is the kind of person Donald Trump is hanging out with."

ALSO READ: Trump is permanently wounded

"He's hanging out with people who tell him, 'Yes, what you said about crowd sizes is true. Yes, what you said about you having the greatest economy in world history is true. What we've been hearing about people hanging other people's pet dogs or abducting their cats, that's true.'"

"I doubt, frankly, that [Trump campaign managers] Chris LaCivita or Susie Wiles, who are professionals, worked on other campaigns, are being listened to much at all by Donald Trump," he observed. "The more we see of that, a bit like the debate the other night, the more rope he is given to hang himself, the more he will hang himself."
