Donald Trump is currently exploring a run for president in 2016, according to Donald Trump. Yet some conservative pundits aren’t taking Trump’s potential campaign seriously. George Will of the Washington Post has called him a “bloviating ignoramus,“ Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard has said his effort is a “clown show,“ and Jonah Goldberg of National Review has said he’s been “tweeting like a 14-year-old girl.“
Donald Trump responded to his conservative critics with a tweetstorm calling them “stupid”
Andrew Prokop is a senior politics correspondent at Vox, covering the White House, elections, and political scandals and investigations. He’s worked at Vox since the site’s launch in 2014, and before that, he worked as a research assistant at the New Yorker’s Washington, DC, bureau.
Now Trump has responded in the most presidential manner possible — with a multi-day tweetstorm of personal insults against his critics, calling them, among other things, “dumb,” “failed,” “boring,” and “stupid.” Read below:
.@BretBaier Why do you have George Will on your show - he's exhausted, boring and not even a little relevant! Waste of good air-time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2015 .@georgewillf is perhaps the most boring political pundit on television. Got thrown off ABC like a dog. At Mar-a-Lago he was a total bust!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2015 .@weeklystandard I know your business is failing but you should try to get writers far better than @stephenfhayes.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2015 How does failed writer and pundit like @stephenfhayes, with no success and little talent, get away with criticizing candidates.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2015 So much dishonest reporting (or non-reporting) in political media—an amazing experience for me. @BretBaier
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2015 .@stephenfhayes: I heard you were a joke on the media panel this weekend in New Hampshire. You just don't have what it takes! @JoeNBC
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015 Jonah Goldberg @JonahNRO of the once great @NRO #National Review is truly dumb as a rock. Why does @BretBaier put this dummy on his show?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2015 National Review @NRO may be going out of business because of the really pathetic job being done by @JonahNRO. No talent means death - sad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015 .@JonahNRO You stated that I started "relentlessly tweeting like a 14-year-old girl..." Horrible insult to women. Resign now or later!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015 With a stupid guy like Jonah Goldberg who uses "tweeting like a 14 year old girl" to hit me, no wonder the NRO is doing so poorly. @JonahNRO
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015 Trump even praised MSNBC’s Ed Schultz, a liberal, for defending him:
I guess @edshow is a lot smarter than dopes like @JonahNRO & @stephenfhayes. Oh well, both mags are dying anyway. http://t.co/KzwmixmfW4
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015 And near the end of this afternoon’s volley of tweets, Trump made a rather ironic observation:
I’m a conservative, but the weakness of conservatives is that they destroy each other, whereas liberals unite to win.
