I believe Trump is a manchurian candidate who's been doing the bidding of the Clinton's the whole time. He will purposely self-destruct to hand the White House to Clinton. I'm sure there is a quid pro quo involved.
You are correct. Trump probably checks in with the Clintons to stratergize. He probably says, "can you believe those idiots? They actually believe I am a conservative Republican". They laugh and laugh and make dinner plans.
