Let's be fair, it's also his worst three weeks of his year and that includes getting 34 felony charges and nearly assassinated but he's losing it over the possibility of losing to Kamala Harris. His Nazi ass ego just can't handle that possibility.
With luck, this'll be topped in November so he needent worry. The worst is yet to come.

A week before the Hamptons fund-raiser, on July 25, Mr. Trump stunned one of his wealthiest patrons, Miriam Adelson, the widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, by having an aide, Natalie Harp, fire off a series of angry text messages to Mrs. Adelson in Mr. Trump’s name, according to three people with knowledge of what took place.
The texts were particularly jarring because Mrs. Adelson and Mr. Trump had a friendly meeting just a week earlier at the Republican National Convention, according to a person briefed on the matter. The texts complained about the people running Mrs. Adelson’s super PAC, Preserve America, into which she is pouring millions of dollars to support Mr. Trump.
At the time, Preserve America was spending nearly $18 million on a week’s worth of ads aiding Mr. Trump in three battleground states. The texts said that the officials running Preserve America were “RINOs” — Republicans in name only — and that Mrs. Adelson’s late husband would never have tolerated that, the people said.
According to two of the people, aides to Mrs. Adelson later discovered that the outburst against her had been encouraged by another major Trump donor, Ike Perlmutter, the former chairman of Marvel Entertainment, who had hoped in vain that Mrs. Adelson would contribute to a rival super PAC that he backs.
They are starting to eat their own.

When you help a campaign based on a race to the bottom, always expect to be a casualty on the way down.

Though I remain cautious because anything can happen, I do enjoy his flailing in public and humiliating himself.

Worst three weeks...
... so far
We can only hope.
Although this is a Simpsons meme joke, it's a joke with some truth to it, and I suspect things indeed will get even worse for Trump, and no it's not before it gets better, because it won't.
I've always wondered when that moment would come where people just got tired of his shit. Never had much hope until these last couple weeks. With the benefit of some hindsight we may look back at one of these recent events as the tipping point.
Even still - remember 2016 that anything can happen, remember Jan 6 and the depths these losers will go - and VOTE.
