Donald Trump gets into Twitter war with Modern Family writer—is obliterated

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/07/06/1399563/-Donald-Trump-gets-into-Twitter-war-with-Modern-Family-writer-is-obliterated

Because nothing says "presidential material" like engaging a television show writer in an online flame war, the Donald got a little bent out of shape the other day when Modern Family writer Danny Zuker made fun of how much of a hypocrite the Donald Trump is:

<...>





HAHAHAHAHA. Oh well, he got you, Donald. But, hey, he's a comedy television writer who writes for a wildly successful and award winning comedy television show about the modern American extended family—with gay people and people of color all held together by humanity.





You should probably stop, Mr. Trump. This guy writes for a living and he writes in short joke forms.



Teehee.

and so do his followers. That's why I am very afraid for this country. You know, at one time chimpie was a joke. But TPTB decided to sell him to the sheeple, and guess what? It wasn't really that hard.

Never ever get in an argument with a comedian or a writer. They will cut you so quickly and you will never know it. That exchange was so one sided but you know that Donald Trump will do his best to minimize it when he is asked about it.

The short-fingered vulgarian twitter-blocked Mr. Zucker a good while ago. But, as Danny tweeted today:

What I take away from this exchange is that a billionaire business mogul has nothing better to do with his time than to fire off childish insults at a journalist.

All he's got are "stupid" and its synonyms. I can tell why the man has gone bankrupt on other people's money so many times. He's as bad a businessman as his limited repartee suggests.

trump is increasingly pathetic.

I don't think he'll be able to show his repulsive face at the next correspondent's dinner.

I think he is going to be a spontaneous laughing stock.

Trump is incapable of reply. He name calls, and when that doesn't work, he invokes the talking points. When that doesn't work, he name calls, then the talking points. Can you imagine having to live with this person? No amount of money would be worth his bloviating and bile. Melania is earning her money!
