Was it so kindergarten when Obama said "I won, get over it"?
Or when he said, "But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
You know...Trump should have ignored Lewis. That's one of Trumps huge failings - he can't ignore. Obama managed to do that, but Trump doesn't seem capable of it. Not everything is worth responding to. Lewis said he considered Trump illegitimate. Kind of puts Lewis in the same category as the Republican politicians who endorsed the birther conspiracy theory doesn't it?
Nope, he did exactly the right thing. The next Dem douche bag who considers attacking Trump will now think long and hard before he does. Lewis has made himself a laughing stock. Trump hit him right between the eyes, and it was a beautiful sight.
It's so kindergarten, and accomplishes nothing. That's what's pathetic.
I am trying to remember when Obama went out of his way to relentlessly attack individuals who criticized him.
You mean like when he childishly tried to get Fox Banned from the Whit House? Or perhaps when he said he was at war with all republicans and ask his "army" to mobilize?
You mean when Trump lied and said he supported going in invading ocuppying iraq and then he said he wasn't for it.
69) I Never Said I Supported Invading Iraq
Perhaps one of Trump’s
most frequent lies is that he opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq from the beginning. In fact, the only time Trump spoke publicly about the conflict before the invasion was an
interview with Howard Stern in which he said he said he supported invading Iraq. Soon after the war started, he hailed it as “
a tremendous success.” Trump did come out against the war in
2004, a year after it started.
70) I Never Talked About Intervention In Libya
In February, Trump said he “
never discussed” whether the U.S. should have a role in the 2011 military intervention in Libya that ultimately overthrew Muammar Gaddafi. Trump, in fact, said that “we would be so much better off if Gaddafi were in charge right now.”
However,
in February 2011, one month before the beginning of NATO’s Libyan intervention, Trump recorded a video calling for intervention against Gaddafi:
I can’t believe what our country is doing. Gaddafi, in Libya, is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around we have soldiers all over the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage. You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst. Now, we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before.
…
We have to go in to save these lives. These people are being slaughtered like animals. It’s horrible what’s going on. It has to be stopped. We’re making decisions like trade embargoes? What does this have to do with a trade embargo? He’s killing people with machine guns in the streets. We should do, on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya and knock this guy out.
He also
told Piers Morgan that “if you don’t get rid of Gaddafi, it’s a major, major black eye for this country.”
71) I Never Said I Have A Relationship With Putin
On
several occasions, Trump has bragged about speaking with Vladimir Putin and having a relationship with the Russian president.
In 2013, Trump was asked in a Moscow
interview with Thomas Roberts of MSNBC, “Do you have a relationship with Vladimir Putin?”
“I do have a relationship with him,” he
said. “He’s done a very brilliant job in terms of what he represents and who he’s representing.”
But when George Stephanopoulos
asked Trump earlier this year why he said for three years that he has a relationship with Putin, Trump said he didn’t make such a statement and has no relationship with him.
A few months later, Trump told “Extra” that he
would not recant saying he had a relationship with Putin, while also insisting he never said that he said that.
