Why Is Presumptive GOP Nominee Donald Trump Still Acting Like A Dick?

Once Donald Trump became the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party,  I simply assumed he would pivot toward the General Election and not act like as much an asshole anymore. 

Man, was I wrong on that.  Trump is as big of a dick as he ever was.  So what happened to the pivot he was supposed to make?  Well, it turns out that he has money issues:

Donald Trump's campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he won't have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.

The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trump's senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch last week, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Examiner. The admission suggests that Trump will be far more dependent on the GOP brass for money than he has led voters to believe.

*** "They know that they're not going to have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July, until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds, so they plan to just use earned media to compete on the airwaves," one GOP source familiar with Manafort's comments told the Examiner.

Kos provides the translation: "The way Trump earns free media is to say stupid shit -- it’s impressively effective, if your job is to serially alienate most segments of the voting public."

So the bottom line here is we still have to wait a couple more months for Trump to start behaving himself, and Donald can say a lot of "stupid shit" during that time. The best thing the Democrats can do right now is to attack Trump constantly.  He'll then be forced to respond by trying to earn "free media."
