Trump team launches post-convention assault against Clinton

The billionaire angry tweets at 'Crooked Hillary' and 'Little' Michael Bloomberg and 'failed' General John Allen.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence on Friday morning launched a tag-team takedown of Hillary Clinton’s prime-time acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, with the billionaire lashing out at not only Clinton but also her surrogates on the Philadelphia stage.

“Crooked Hillary said that I ‘couldn't handle the rough and tumble of a political campaign." Really, I just beat 16 people and am beating her!” Trump said in one tweet Friday morning.

“Crooked Hillary Clinton mentioned me 22 times in her very long and very boring speech. Many of her statements were lies and fabrications!” he said in another.

He also angry tweeted at former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (“’Little’ Michael Bloomberg, who never had the guts to run for president, knows nothing about me. His last term as Mayor was a disaster!”) — and retired four-star Gen. John Allen (“General John Allen, who I never met but spoke against me last night, failed badly in his fight against ISIS. His record = BAD #NeverHillary”) — for giving two of the most forceful condemnations of Trump this past week.
