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.

She needs to trade some bottom half for more top half
No it’s not. It’s something someone would do if they had serious mental issues and it is NOT presidential.
Come on...........you been here a long time, and you don't understand that that's a pretty big part of why he's on the top?
Trump has run contests for decades, coached winners, and is now a contestant.
He knows how to do it.
Your guy, not so much.
bump
I understand quite well. I was pointing out how hypocritical it was for him to dish out the criticism as he does and then be as thin skinned as he obviously is when it comes to getting it from others. Read the link I provided. he can't take it.
“Now THERE’s a standard to live up to.”
He gave us Obama. How’s not defending yourself a virtue?
I like Trump because he can take it as well as dish it out. It’s going to take someone like him to coalesce the masses — and he’s doing it. I just hope he can hang in there. If he gives in now, he’ll be just another scalp for the left, and it will only embolden them and scare anyone else who dares to cross them.
You can go ahead and turn the other cheek - I’ve run out of cheeks to turn.
She’s crossed paths dozens of times with Trump, and never uttered a negative word before now about him.
I agree with him. If she has a problem with him, the honest thing to do is resign & give up the title. Pass it to a runner up who knows how to keep her mouth shut.
Well, it may be unfortunate that he said it. But Trump was right about Bush. George W Bush was absolutely horrible. Bush was a miserable failure as a conservative president.
On the other hand, if you like liberal Republican Presidents who add trillions of dollars to the national debt, then GWB is probably right up your alley!
You will find no bigger critic of Bush than I am. He was a major reason why I left the Republican Party. But Trump wasn't saying Bush was a bad conservative president. He was parroting all the liberal lines about Bush. Evil? Really?
Trump was/is a lifelong liberal and his criticisms of Bush come from that perspective, not that of a conservative.
If Obama a narcissist can become president so can Trump.
And with likely the same result.
Just waiting for people to wake up about Trump. He is not presidential. There are more things to consider about a candidate then just being glad a candidate mouths off about one issue we all care about. There are more then one issue to consider, plus his integrity,and how he handles himself under pressure. Trump is explosive and especially when he does not get his own way or if someone criticizes him. Not good and much too much like Obama.
So Trump is Obama now?
Very keen mind you have there. /s
Those are your words not mine.
Is that what you think makes a point...because it doesn't.
He could have just said “not every beauty has corresponding brain power.”
You know people in TX twice denied GHWB a Senate seat and once a presidential primary victory, but after that it’s been all Bushes all the time. I think they are dying for Jebbie in TX, too uninformed to know what he represents.
Oh here we go with the victim sh@t.
So which of the other retarded, self obsessed blowhards are you going to support for president, if any? Jeb Bush? At least Trump speaks the truth and doesn’t try to pander to the illegal aliens that are streaming across our borders at a breakneck pace.
agree 100%
