It is also becoming obvious to Trump himself, or someone had to approach him and advise him on the foolishness of it all. But he is clueless to do anything about it, bashing is in his DNA he will perhaps try to back off some, but the only way he can keep the focus off his many weaknesses is to distract by bullying others. It was a cute act to many in the beginning until it became evident he was very serious and became vicious with his attacks much like the school yard bully. Then along came Cruz who tolerated his nonsense for a bit and is now beating him severally about the head shoulders intent on teaching the sixty-nine year old BOY some manners, and he will continue the lessons for as long as it takes.
