Donald Trump’s middle-of-the-night tweets about a beauty queen sex tape are frustrating Republican supporters, who worry once again that their candidate’s lack of discipline will hamper his campaign.
They say Trump needs to keep his focus on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, prepare for their second debate, on Oct. 9 in St. Louis, and quit taking the bait from Democrats.
“It’s unlikely the Miss Universe flap is hurting Trump with current supporters, but it’s hard to see how it helps grow our vote,” said one GOP lawmaker who supports Trump.
“Maybe it's quaint conventional wisdom. But it seems he would help himself to talk about the real world problems that every day voters face,” the lawmaker said.
Trump has not been able to let go his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.
In a series of tweets beginning at 3:19 a.m. on Friday and ending at 5:30 a.m., the New York billionaire sought to discredit Machado by drawing attention to tawdry details about her past, including allegations — debunked by fact-checkers — that she has filmed a “sex tape.”
Those allegations reignited Democratic attacks against Trump over his treatment of Machado just as the issue seemed ready to peter out.
Clinton already had been doing everything she could to keep the Machado story going, believing Trump’s fat-shaming of the Venezuelan would help her with both women and Hispanic voters.
She responded to Trump’s tweet-storm with her own series of tweets, calling Trump “unhinged.”
“What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?,” Clinton tweeted.
“When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go,” she said. “This is dangerous for a president. To Donald, women like Alicia are only as valuable as his personal opinion about their looks.”

If this isn’t bad enough, there is an article circulating on Facebook about how he is friends with Epstein and the article states how Trump rode in Epstein’s plane. Not a peep about Bill Clinton from the pro-Hillary people.
MSM is stupid.
Is he still going to build the wall?
He is.
Then who gives an Obama?
It’s better than having a feud with a cartoon frog
Donald Trump’s middle-of-the-night tweets about a Dairy Queen sex tape
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE DAMN PORNSTARS!!!
Until then, STFU concern trolls and Republican establishment hacks who have turned a blind eye while Comey and Clinton destroys the rule of law. Because Trump actually encouraged and stood by this woman when she was going through her weight gain, because....as the new head of the Miss Universe Pageant, it was in his best interest to ensure that the winner maintained her looks and beauty.
I see that the concern trolls are quite concerned.
They aren’t stupid. They know that enough of the general public is stupid and they have no character or integrity
It’s all bs. There is a sex tape. Trump helped her. I’m tired of worrying about the nonsense of these communist criminals. Take it to Hillary just do it. Everyone knows she’s no damn good.
What kind of woman stalks and threatens her husband’s rape victims?
If you want to know what Trump thinks of women, how Donald Trump treats women, look at his daughter.
That is the woman he made, that is the result of his methods, and that result is stellar to say the least.
I am very weary of this psycho, rapist enabling stalker trying to smear people with a porno queen. It’s disgusting and offensive.
Anyone who is talking about the pornstars WANTS Trump losing to Hillary. There is NO REASON to talk about anything relating to porn or beauty peasant or women’s weight or any UNRELATED SHITE!!!
This was probably the most ridiculous part of it. Who the hell has time to do this in the middle of a presidential campaign?
On the other hand, I saw some clips of Hillary Clinton down in Florida today and she looked awful. She really looked like she had been up continuously since 3:19 AM on Wednesday or something.
I love how they say Trump can’t let go of it when it’s the MSM pushing this 24/7 because it’s the latest “now we got him” moment.
Oh, for Gods sake.
Buck up a bit.
He has to win the election before he can build the wall.
I want trump to keep his focus on on that lying criminal bitch and her rapist husband!! Screw these RINOS!!!
The ONLY reason why the Commie media is bringing up this crazy woman is to take the focus off of Hillary’s FAILED policies..stick to the ISSUES that is where Trump will win..who cares about this woman, I sure as heck could care less
Also, as Newt said on FOX, answer the debate persons question with 10 words, the immediately Switch to one of the above topics. . almost ignore Hillary. . and same with her, don't take any bait from her, Respond with 10 words, then Switch to your own topic, rinse, repeat. . Think of what You Want to Say ahead of time and Just Do It!
