Trump: "Juan Williams at Fox News is so pathetic, always nasty and wrong!"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Juan Williams at @FoxNews is so pathetic, and yet when he met me in the Fox Building lobby, he couldn’t have been nicer as he asked me to take a picture of him and me for his family. Yet he is always nasty and wrong!

He just needs to explain so others can get similar results.

It is so hard to believe the so called president of the USA has the mental capacity of a child and a bratty one at that.

I've seen a few things here and there where Williams was "critical of" Trump. I don't know what spurred the latest tweet, but he doesn't "heart" him like he does with his buddies on Fox & Friends, and of course, Hannity.

“It’s not just Democrats who say, ‘Hey, this guy is inartful.’ The Wall Street Journal” has said that — he then attacked The Wall Street Journal at a rally this week. But I think that what you see here is that Trump’s unpredictability, Dana, then risks global recession, and you can do that. I mean, clearly, unpredictability is something that really scares Wall Street, because it depresses the likelihood of capital investment, which is necessary for stock growth.” https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-goes-off-on-fox-news-juan-williams-always-nasty-and-wrong/

That's actually one of the milder criticisms of Dolt 45 that I've seen - but it was on Fox, and a black guy said it.

Over the last few days, Trump's Twitter feed has been littered with tweets and re-tweets about how great the economy is doing.

He's running scared, and the "R" word is definitely going to send him into knee-jerk reaction territory.

(nothing against 8-year old girls, but they tend to be dramatic). Can't he ever let anything go? He is the most pathetic, insecure man on the planet.

How does his base see this as strength? It demonstrates nothing but weakness. It shows that he is thin-skinned, filled with doubt and fear and basically that he will let anyone with a media or social-media presence knock him off balance.

He is weak, scared, sad little man who deserves to be taken down spectacularly.
