Robert Reich just smacked down petty and thin-skinned Trump for attacking union head on Twitter

Saying he knew Trump was watching, a furious Reich addressed him directly.

‘Let me just say with all due respect, Mr. Trump,” Reich exclaimed. “You are president elect of the United States. You are looking and acting as if you are mean and petty, thin-skinned and vindictive. Stop this. This is not a fire side chat. this is not what F.D.R. did. This isn’t lifting people up.”

Reich went on to hammer Trump for attacking Boeing and bullying, before adding, “You are going to be president very shortly. You are going to have at your command not just Twitter but also the CIA, the IRA, the FBI. If you have this kind of thin-skinned vindictiveness attitude towards anyone who criticizes you, we are in very deep trouble.”
