GEEZ! – AT 10:54 A.M. ET:  Is Donald Trump on a kamikaze mission?  He simply refuses to get off this obsession with the judge in his private case involving the now-defunct Trump University.  From the Washington Examiner:   

Donald Trump insisted Monday that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel is treating him unfairly in the Trump University case, even after facing criticism from Republicans and Democrats that his charge is racist.

"One hundred percent. This is a case that should have been thrown out a long time ago by the judge," Trump said on "Fox and Friends" Monday morning when asked if he'd be found innocent in the case.

"It shouldn't even be a case," Trump continued. "This case should have been thrown out on summary judgment. If someone else was in charge, this would have been thrown out on summary judgment."

While the judge was born in the U.S., Trump has said the judge's Mexican heritage has biased him in the case, since Trump has said he would build a wall on the southwestern U.S. border.

Hillary Clinton, many Republicans and members of the media have charged that Trump is making a big mistake by leveling that charge. Clinton called Trump's remarks inexcusable, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus called for Trump to "evolve" on the issue.

COMMENT:  Shut up, Donald!  Right now!  Nobody gives a damn about your private court case.  You're showing yourself to be too small a man to be president.  One can already sense the growing panic in the Republican Party.

We'd expected better.  We'd thought that, once you'd clinched the presidential nomination, you'd grow in stature, become a president, not a glorified landlord.  But, instead, you've gone in the other direction, giving us early Trump, the reality TV star. 

We don't even know what you stand for.  It's one thing one day, the opposite the next.  You viciously attack anyone who disagrees with you, then have a kiss-and-make-up meeting.  Eventually, some people may not want to make up.

You will argue that your tactics have gotten you the nomination.  Maybe.  But what helped enormously was having an initial field of 17 candidates, who hopelessly divided the opposition. 

Wise up.  Ross Perot, also a successful businessman, ran for president in 1992, at one point leading in the polls.  But he could not rise above pettiness and eccentricity.  He became an asterisk.  You're on track to the same fate, Donald, unless you put your ego in your pocket and your brain out front.
