Whether through sound bites or live audio, The Donald has been making the rounds on all the news talk shows this morning in response to GOP presidential candidates Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman electing to skip the debate that Donald Trump will moderate on December 27. Its been a war of words to say the least.
During his second NBC interview of the morning, Trump got heated with Daily Rundown host Chuck Todd, at one point saying, I didnt call you, you called me. That was in response to Todd saying that Trump wanted to come on to the show to respond to a poll, which Trump said was false.
But Trump wasnt done there. He told Todd how he could improve his ratings, made a curious comment about Jon Huntsmans religion, and took some shots at former President George W. Bush after his top advisor Karl Rove also laughed at the idea of Trump holding any sway in the GOP.
Karl Rove gave us George Bush and George Bush crashed and burned and because of that we have Obama, Trump told Todd. The Republicans need to get rid of Karl Rove and they need fresh blood because Karl Rove is going to lead them into doom.

Can’t stand that phony Trump, but I must say that when I heard this on Rush today, I was on Trump’s side. If only conservatives would call out the media and the pundits like this....
Go Trump!
LOL. You got that guys number down. I bet he also has some sort of formula for his white board to argue his case.
Do you have a link re: Trump's endorsement of Reid?
They're both part of the same hypocrisy.
I can’t stop watching this. It is great!
I think that all Obama voters had frogs in their pockets, who told them that it was the Republicans who were peeing on them.
He contributed to the campaigns of Weiner, Shumer, Rangel and O.
He is pro-’choice’. He is no conservative.
BTW, Trump also worked hard for (and endorsed) Bob Turner in the 9th District victory for Weiner's seat. Did you know that?
I did not. But if he gives support to the wrong candidates for buisness reasons, I think its fair to say that buisness
considerations trump political considerations in his world.
Few have that position to speak and attack from that Trump has.
IMO, Trump is good for the overall situation.
Jon Huntsman is offended by Trump’s position on China, and how we should deal with the Chinese with regard to trade, manufacturing, and jobs.
You might have placed hope in a President Pitching Wedge, but I sure as hell didn't, and I would be correct in assuming not too many other FReepers did either.
Trump is an opportunist. Pure and simple. He's gonna go wherever the overriding opinion lives.
Trump portrays himself as a powerful, successful businessman and then makes jokes about candidates religion, pretending that he wasn’t rejected first because Governor Huntsman called him and requested a meeting. Give me a break.
Trumps personality doesnt like to be challenged.
Finally, Paul says something I agree with, the Donald does whine like a little girl when his ego is bruised.
Going after the media is one thing but responding to criticisms with insult after insult after insult is only making him look like an out of control immature child.
That aside...like a lot of businessmen, Trump calls em like he sees em.
You obviously don't like capitalism.
Yup, I agree. I don't like Trump at all, but on this I completely agree with him. I wish more people would call out the MSM for stuff like this.
What does Trump’s ego have to do with capitalism?
What are you...a psycho-analyst.
Go ask Onyx...her hubbs is a psychiatrist. Of course, he might bill you for his time...but that's capitalism. I wonder what Onyx's hubbie's ego has to do with his billing procedure.
[Sorry Onyx...pure opportunism on my part.]
Seriously BSF...Trump ain't nothing but a honey badger...he hunts, he eats...he lives.
Don't you?
