Nearly two months later, the effort to save Mr. Trump from himself has plainly failed. He has repeatedly signaled to his advisers and allies his willingness to change and adapt, but has grown only more volatile and prone to provocation since then, clashing with a Gold Star family, making comments that have been seen as inciting violence and linking his political opponents to terrorism.
Advisers who once hoped a Pygmalion-like transformation would refashion a crudely effective political showman into a plausible American president now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching. He has ignored their pleas and counsel as his poll numbers have dropped, boasting to friends about the size of his crowds and maintaining that he can read surveys better than the professionals.
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.
He broods about his souring relationship with the news media, calling Mr. Manafort several times a day to talk about specific stories. Occasionally, Mr. Trump blows off steam in bursts of boyish exuberance: At the end of a fund-raiser on Long Island last week, he playfully buzzed the crowd twice with his helicopter.
But in 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.
He is routinely preoccupied with perceived slights

More concerned trolling BS.
Vote Trump 2016
Today’s talking heads talking points about Trump....”sullen, erratic, and barking”
Not interested in the NYT.
He is a native New Yorker so lots of luck.
In short, Trump is mean, nasty, crazy and has the back of the ignorant American people.
Hillary is wonderful, kind and only us media whores/anti-Americans support her.
Same crap, day after day after day...
Change the soundtrack!
Save him from himself
What do they teach these people in journalism school? Their chance in life to investigate and report history in the making and they don’t even get out and go to a Trump rally
What a mucks. What dupes. They’ve fallen for the complete scam artist Hillary her husband and their confidence game
Saving trump from himself. Really they are not right in the head
why bother posting this crap?
Wasting your time. It won’t work. Trump will win in a landslide. FU. (To the NYT, not you)
All of this talk about Trump, but very little about Hillary. Seriously, The World’s Smartest Woman must be worth at least some attention in all of this, lol?
Guess what Mainstream Media whores: Your deception and obfuscation around the Donald Trump campaign will not succeed in destroying Trump, but it just might destroy all of you.
You’re not fooling anyone with your faked polls and “Trump is collapsing” drumbeat. Unless you can arrange to have a leftist thug standing inside of every single voting booth to intimidate each voter the truth will come out soon enough.
Enjoy being unemployed!
They just don’t understand. The ‘tongue’ is connected to a brain that has a lot to say. A lot to say that a preponderance of Americans agree with. Bleat all you will; it won’t work. Your collective side is losing Democrats.
He drew 5000 at a rally last night.
IN CT !
Just have Jeb write Trump speeches and give him a electric shock collar to shock Trump when he goes off script and forgets to be PC.../ S
The NYT would still complain he is mocking Hillary when his head starts jerking around like Hillary when Jeb hits the buzz button...

Trumps “tongue” is giving the uni-party reason to fret.
If only they could “contain” him.
They know they can’t beat him, so at this point, they are trying to tame him.
He’s a bull in a china shop, and that china shop is them.
Go Trump!
