POLITICO found itself in the crosshairs of Donald Trump on Wednesday, as the perennial media critic and presidential candidate railed against the Rosslyn-based political news outlet.

Trump dashed off a two-tweet attack that called POLITICO journalists “clowns” who are “totally dishonest.”

Katie Glueck, a politics reporter at POLITICO, asked Trump for specifics, but he didn’t elaborate.

It is easier to list the truths told than the half truths and lies conjured up by this organization.

He really needs to expand his vocabulary. It seems like Donald says the same trite phrases over and over with little variety. Hope his comedy writers can tweak his tweets there.

A Leftist media propaganda site by any other name is still a Leftist media propaganda site.

Trump is the writer. He has the right to hit back and I’m sure he’ll find more words to share.

Two Tweets is a tirade? A Charlie Sheen voicemail message is a tirade.

I agree with you. Why just paint with ‘clown’ when there are such things as buffoon, pantaloon, cretin and imbecile on the palette?

...called POLITICO journalists “clowns” who are “totally dishonest.”

But we already knew that?

It's actually very effective to use the same phrases over and over. We will forever associate Jebbie Bush with "low energy" for example.

And of course, the media is "totally dishonest."

Totally.

If Politico has no power then why is Trump tweeting about them?

Politico is beyond contemptible. I only refer to them as Propagandico.

Why? The vast majority of the populace are not that bright. The same simple words and phrases for the dumb-downed, short attention span folk will enable them to remember......maybe.

His remarks are working here.

Why change when your positive target audience is growing and those who would never vote for you are whining and crying and shrinking in size and political clout.

In the article they describe it as an “assault”

At least Trump can see who his media enemies are.

That’s something that McCain and Romney never seemed to figure out.
