Trump takes on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on twitter.

Well, he managed to be “presidential” for a few days in a row. Once again, it looks like someone forgot to hide the keys to the drawer that held his smartphone.

Does Trump have any financial interest in MSNBC? This feud has to be great for their ratings.
Being that it’s NBC I’d guess that he doesn’t, but who knows. It may be that he’s planning to continue the feud after the election, thus bringing attention to his new “news” network.

My favorite line from the article:

This really does sum up the self-importance and cluelessness of Trump supporters. I think she really believes that this makes everything just OK. Reminds me of the lady in Bob’s Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers:
“What kind of music do you play here M’am?”
“Why we play BOTH kinds of music. Country AND Western.”

Trump has his own African-Americans, Bachmann has her own Jews. Why the confusion? 😉

Apparently this was quote from Trump. He owned some New York Jews in the past it seems.
And who exactly is it who says that people can’t say Merry Christmas?

I \*think \*that was meant as a direct quote of Trump talking about \*his \*Jews. Though perhaps they \*both \*have their Jews.

No, they don’t share Jews. They’re not animals.
