Donald Trump is blasting Hugh Hewitt after stumbling over foreign policy questions in an interview with the conservative radio host.
“[He is] a third rate radio announcer,” Trump told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning.
Trump clashed with the radio host on Thursday evening's "The Hugh Hewitt Show." Hewitt began asking him what he called “commander-in-chief” questions about international affairs. The exchange became heated when Trump mistook a question about Iran’s Quds Force as a query about the Kurds.
On Friday, Trump said that the broadcaster’s show is beneath him despite his multiple appearances with Hewitt since launching his 2016 campaign in June. Trump said Hewitt was trying to embarrass him by asking about obscure topics.
“Every question was, ‘do you know this one or know that one?’” Trump said.

Just like when someone, I can’t remember who, asked Bush if he knew who the leader of Pakistan was....................
There is something unseemly about telling a fifth rate interviewer that his last questioner was a third rate interviewer.
I’ve heard and seen Hugh Hewitt. Trump hits another bull’s eye.
It was clear he thought Hewitt said “Kurds.” Again, I don’t think “Quds” is a daily discussion piece for most non-national security wonks. I didn’t know them. And Trump is right that they likely will be changed or gone in a year, and the leader will be someone else. But if these are the questions, he’ll have to answer them, and I bet like he did with Sessions he’ll start huddling with some generals.
He must be third rate because we don’t have him locally
Can’t stand the pompous HH. Third rate is being generous.
It’s been pretty funny listening to Hugh Hewitt lately. It’s obvious he doesn’t like Trump at all, but doesn’t want to say too much in fear of angering his followers.
So he’ll just say in a sad voice “well... he sure is good for ratings.” He’ll talk to some political consultants about different candidates. The consultant will say something like “Rubio and Jeb really bring in a lot of Hispanic votes.”
Hewitt responds with overwhelming enthusiasm with ‘YES THEY DO! YES THEY DO!!!!!”
Well, the classy Trump didn’t say Hewitt was bleeding. Let’s face it. Nobody can say anything to or about Trump unless it’s praise. Only a loser, a stupid person, or a third rate person would expect the braggart Trump to know something.
Hewitt has been blasting Trump ever since he entered the race. Trump shouldn’t have gone on his show. Ambush journalism is the way to get famous or infamous.
“Iran’s Quds Force”
The who? Why would any talk radio host ask a candidate about this in September of the year before the election?
Isn’t this the stupid s*it we blasted the media for when it came to Palin? But because it’s Trump, we are supposed to be ok with it?
Ping.
This is Trump’s M.O.
Attack ANYONE who disagrees with him or asks him a tough question...doesn’t matter if its Hugh Hewitt or Megyn Kelly.
DT only expects softball questions from the media.
He wants to be surrounded by a cult of personality, adoring fans, and a servile media.
He is a total egomaniac, narcissistic, petty, and thin skinned. He reminds me of the current occupant of the WH in this regard.
Hewitt is part of the Northeast cocktail Republican/Liberal establishment.
Trump spends an awful lot of time and effort attacking people who aren’t Hillary or Jeb. He should spend some time and effort to read the Constitution and trying to sound informed about what he is talking about.
Hewitt is an elitist attorney policy wonk.
We’re not interested in electing a policy wonk for President.
We want/need a leader.
Hugh sh!t himself yesterday.
had Bush been talking about Pakistan a lot before he was asked.
Because Trump has been talking about the middle east, encircling the enemy with airpower (lol) and invading Iraq (insane).
Haha! Man this is funny. Hew Hewitt asks a question to Trump and instead of just saying he didn’t know, or saying he’s pretty sure he could come up with something or have the staff to deal with it, he explodes.
Over a question?!
Trump is a little, little man.
I used to like HH, but he is pompous, which you have to expect to certain degree.
As of late he has gotten way over the top...
He treats Dennis Prager like he is beneath him...
HH can't tie Prager shoelaces when it comes to intelligence and intellect...
