Donald Trump goes for jugular after being insulted by 'dummy' Charles Krauthammer

Facebook Twitter Reddit LinkedIn Gab

Real estate tycoon Donald Trump thrives on conflict, and supposed allies within his own Republican party often become the targets of his wrath – especially if they cross him.

Syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor, Charles Krauthammer, entered dangerous territory when he cited a Fox News Poll that put Trump at the top of a list of potential presidential candidates people would never vote for.

Krauthammer told show host, Bret Baier, that Trump’s top standing in the unflattering poll was both “deserved” and “impressive.”

“Trump is going to say how sad it is that I’m saying these things,” Krauthammer said, foreseeing what was coming his way.

“But, you know, this is an open forum and we have free speech.

“He has a well-deserved and, I would say, an impressive 59 percent.”

Trump didn’t take kindly to the backhanded compliment. But it didn’t make him “sad” as Krauthammer predicted, it made him mad.

One of the worst and most boring political pundits on television is @krauthammer. A totally overrated clown who speaks without knowing facts

In the late night hours, the billionaire took to Twitter to enact retaliation against “dummy” Krauthammer. And political insomniacs were treated to a special kind of social media show:

"@Bobzilla305: @realDonaldTrump @krauthammer is a progressive making money off of the Conservative viewership" A total loser!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2015

Trump just couldn’t let it go:

.@krauthammer pretends to be a smart guy, but if you look at his record, he isn't. A dummy who is on too many Fox shows. An overrated clown!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2015

Dummy political pundit @krauthammer constantly pressed the crazy war in Iraq. Many lives and trillions of dollars wasted. U.S. got NOTHING!

And then there’s this priceless tweet:

"@krauthammer: On sale today. Things That Matter in paperback. With a new section on the Obama years. Book sucks!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2015

Plenty of tweeters who very well could have voted in the Fox poll Trump was so angry about responded to his posts:

@realDonaldTrump tell us how you REALLY feel Mr Trump!

.@realDonaldTrump @krauthammer That's funny because he predicted you'd respond exactly this way.

He sure did. Well, pretty close anyway.

@bfinstock // @realDonaldTrump is not near half the man that @krauthammer is or has ever been.

.@realDonaldTrump @krauthammer Wow. That escalated quickly. Nothing like an old-fashioned, civil discourse to make everyone presidential.

It’s always funny to see when @realDonaldTrump gets all butthurt on twitter.
