Trump doesn't need someone else to be controversial and make the risky comments on behalf of his campaign. He just goes on Twitter or gets in front of a camera and does it himself. Hence he's the "absolute madman"
I guarantee you there are people that are a part of the campaign infrastructure that are feeding the information and inciting some of it. There is zero doubt that is occurring. But, as has been discussed, those that are a part of it like to think that isn't the case, that they aren't being manipulated. But that is never the case.
