An adviser to Howard Schultz on Tuesday slammed President Trum over a tweet Trump sent this week attacking the former Starbucks CEO.
Bill Burton, during an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront," called the tweet "childish games" and said Schultz's main priority is defeating Trump. Schultz has said he is seriously considering running for president as an independent in 2020.
Trump in a tweet Monday said Schultz "doesn't have the 'guts' to run" for president."
"You have a president who is setting an awful tone on Twitter. It's taking everybody else down in the gutter with him," Burton said when asked about the tweet.
"Howard Schultz didn't respond to that tweet because he doesn't think that childish games deserve a response. He's not going to respond to a lot of the childishness on the internet," Burton continued.
Burton added that he wasn't "taking off the table that [Schultz will] never respond to a Trump tweet."
"It's so foolish we even have to talk about it because of who the president is. But I'm saying that [Schultz] is trying to elevate this debate. There's nothing more important to him than beating Donald Trump. He thinks hes fundamentally unfit for office," Burton said.
Schultz gave a similar response to the tweet when he was asked about it Monday, calling it "childish" during a CNBC interview in New York.
Im not going to respond to that. Its childish. Im not trying to win the Twitter primary, Schultz said.
please run Schultzie. You will rip the dims apart.
Run baby run.
“Trump in a tweet Monday said Schultz “doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run” for president.”
ROFL he dared you as a man. Instead of talking the talk, walk the walk..
Heh heh He’s trolling him.
He’s had a worse rollout than Warren.
Schultz “knows nothing”.
In the series, Schultz owns Germany’s biggest toy company before the war.
“”doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run””
reverse psychology translation: bawk, bawk, bawk ... CHICKEN! ... I double-dog DARE you to run!
It's hilarious that Trump called him out, basically double-dirty-dog-dared him, it makes for great theater. Imagine, you're a millennial, or slightly older, and the guy who used to run Starbucks, the responsible fair value organic coffee you've loved since your idiot parents first bought it for you, is in the primary against a bunch of tantrum-throwing, old-line, party-line rioters of the Demagogic Party...
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
‘”Im not trying to win the Twitter primary, Schultz said.’
that’s because he’s a clueless dumbass that’s gonna get his butt whipped on twitter with an attitude like that, followed by getting butt whipped in whatever elections he might make it to ...
POTUS does that a lot.
Childish, like when Schultz basically told Christians shareholders to go to F’ themselves if they didn’t like pro alphabet soup and queer corporate policies, that kind of childish?
“doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run”
...funny,I used to say the same thing to a neighborhood snot when playing park football just to get under his skin...*smiles*
“He’s not going to respond to a lot of the childishness on the internet”
right. because we all know that what America REALLY wants for a leader is an aloof, elitist billionaire who remains completely above the fray ...
The Schatze Toy Company. Klink still works there as the bookkeeper.
Burton knows gutters, that is for sure. Tweeter is more a sewer tho than a gutter.
Has Schultz paid the rent yet?
Am I supposed to know who these ass clowns are, and care what they think?
I don’t watch CNN, so perhaps there are important people I’m not aware of whose opinions are super relevant.
They sound like idiots though, so I think I’m better off staying “in the dark”.
