Trump piles on after Joaquin Castro's tweet listing prominent donors from San Antonio

President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon following a tweet from Castro that listed the top donors to Trump's reelection campaign from San Antonio.

Trump, who was in El Paso on Wednesday visiting victims of Saturday's mass shooting, lit into Castro, calling him "the lesser brother of a failed presidential candidate."

Joaquin Castro has faced fierce criticism over a tweet that lists 44 people who contributed the maximum amount allowable under federal law to Trump's reelection campaign.

The tweet was sent Monday night from Castro's campaign account and includes the names of 44 San Antonio residents and the employers of many of the people, public information available on the Federal Election Commission site.

Other people were listed as "retired," "self-employed," "homemaker," "entrepreneur" or "information requested."

He’s a liar. There is no need to listen to a single word he says.
We take away the power of his lies by ignoring them.
