Baited By The Tweet

“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis,” Hillary said last night. “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

To be sure, after the convention, Trump let loose with a bunch of Tweets…. although it was clear that this was not Trump himself.

This morning though, we can see what actually got under Trump’s skin…. it was Bloomberg.

Now here’s the interesting thing.  Here’s what he said at a Trump rally yesterday:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Thursday afternoon he wanted to “hit” some of the Democratic National Convention speakers “so hard” while watching them last night, including a “little guy…so hard his head would spin.”

“You know what I wanted to. I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard,” Trump said. “I would have hit them. No, no. I was going to hit them, I was all set and then I got a call from a highly respected governor.”…

“I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy,” he said. “I was gonna hit this guy so hard his head would spin and he wouldn’t know what the hell happened.”

In other words, Mike Pence told Trump to settle down and not go after the “little” guy.  But today, Trump was tweeting about “little” Mike Bloomberg.  He just couldn’t let it go.
