Trump calls O'Malley a 'disgusting, little, weak, pathetic baby'

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley apologized “like a disgusting, little, weak, pathetic baby” for his remark that “all lives matter,” Donald Trump said in an excerpt of a new interview aired Friday on Fox News.

In an interview with Jeanine Pirro for her program “Justice” set to air Saturday night, Trump said that the former Maryland governor did not need to say he was sorry.

“And then he apologized like a little baby, like a disgusting, little, weak, pathetic baby. And that’s the problem with our country,” Trump said, according to a clip aired on “Fox and Friends.”

....

O’Malley’s apology came last month after he responded to protesters shouting “black lives matter” during his speech at Netroots Nation by saying that, “Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter.” Critics on the left said the remarks showed a lack of understanding of what the Black Lives Matter movement is all about.

“That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect,” O’Malley told the online program “This Week in Blackness” the same day. “I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue.”

someone (not O'Malley) is going to lose their temper and punch Trump. However, I guess that what trump wants.

3 qualities Trump has never been accused of possessing. Still, it was not strategically sound for O'Malley to provide him (and others) with this opportunity.

...cool baiting by O'Malley.


I really didn't think Trump was going to mention him. Nice to have such a colorful put-down to make it pop (always comes off like projection with the Trumpster).

Nice advance work by O'Malley's team to put him in front of the Trump Hotel. They clearly realized Trump's thin skin and inability to not get into a fight with O'Malley.
