Trump proves Clinton’s point about his thin skin with early morning Twitter rampage over DNC

During her Democratic National Convention speech on Thursday, presidential nominee Hillary Clinton criticized her GOP rival, Donald Trump, accusing him of being too thin-skinned to be trusted as commander-in-chief.

Trump is known for his prolific use of Twitter and also for his bombastic responses to critics — including calling Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” for targeting him on the social media platform. On Thursday night, Clinton said this tendency is dangerous for a president.

“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons,” Clinton said.

The comments seemed to get under Trump’s skin on Friday morning.

Pretty ballsy for a guy who couldn't be bothered to serve his country.

In what seems like an unprecedented move for a presidential contender, Trump went after retired four-star General John Allen, a Marine Corps veteran who spoke on behalf of Clinton, taking the stage with fellow military veterans.

General John Allen, who I never met but spoke against me last night, failed badly in his fight against ISIS. His record = BAD #NeverHillary — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
