Gotta be honest. He came off deflated for the last couple of weeks. His desperate attempt at establishing "founder of Isis" as a thing similar to Crooked Hillary, Dishonest Media or Little Marco, clearly shows he is running out of ideas as to how to stop his free fall in the polls.
The fact he's throwing out so many random accusations is a sign to me that he knows he's losing. He's trying to find something, anything, that will stick, because that's how it worked in the primaries; he would say something outrageous, everyone would complain, his base would love him for it, and he then be carted off to victory.
Now he's doing the same thing in the general, but the effect is the complete opposite; he's losing support rather than gaining it and his gaffes and remarks are being treated with much more criticism and derision than he ever got in the primary.
He can't (or won't) comprehend that what worked in the primary won't work in the general, and that just because his base loves him doesn't mean everyone else will. For better or worse a number of people treated his behavior in the primaries as either showmanship or exaggerations for the sake of the base. Then the convention happened and those same people saw that who he "pretended" to be turned out to be who he actually was.
