Real-estate magnate and presidential candidate Donald Trump blasted another one of his critics early Sunday morning.
Trump said the reigning Miss Universe pageant winner, Colombia's Paulina Vega, was a "hypocrite" for criticizing him without giving up her award.
"Miss Universe, Paulina Vega, criticized me for telling the truth about illegal immigration, but then said she would keep the crown-Hypocrite," Trump, who helps run the pageant, tweeted at roughly 5 a.m.
According to the Associated Press, Vega said last Thursday that Trump's controversial comments about Mexico were "hurtful and unfair" but she had no intention of giving up her crown "because the Miss Universe organization does meaningful social work in communities around the world."
She was referring to comments made during the Republican businessman's June 16 campaign launch, in which he railed against Mexico for supposedly sending its "rapists" and drug runners to the US.

Instead of replying piecemeal to his various critics, Trump should simply ask one question: "If I misspoke, please tell me, what is the percentage of illegals incarcerated for drug trafficking and violent offenses in the US prison population?"
When people learn the answer to that question, they will be truly shocked, indeed.

At least Trump does his own tweeting. Neither Clinton nor 0bama even know how to work a smartphone.

Im ignoring him twice as hard now.Does that mean you're going to be posting twice as often on Trump threads as compared to ordinary threads?
Or what do you mean 'twice as hard'?

Good point. We already know what a narcissistic liberal as president is like. We don’t need another.

it means I have to work twice as hard to ignore him now, because he is always running his mouth.
I really thought that one was simple.

And as such he lacks the ability to accept even the slightest bit of criticism.Ya know, I like GWB for the way he could handle all sorts of criticism, never fought back.
Even when his troopers were denigrated, prosecuted in court, thrown in prison, he took it all in stride. Never a whimper, no matter how much others suffered. What a trooper he was.
Now THERE's a standard to live up to.

You’re tying to ignore him by writing about him and posting on threads about him?
THAT’s the part that is unclear to me.

Liberal Donald Trump's criticism of George W. Bush:
Bush was EVIL and probably the worst president in the history of the United States.

I think he’s running to damage everyone, but he’s certainly damaging the genuine conservatives as well as the establishment guys.
