Trump Trolls Back at Rick Perry with Photo of Him ‘Begging for My Support and Money’
mediaite.com ^ | 7/22/2015 | Andrew Husband

Donald Trump does the same thing whenever he trolls the other GOP candidates. He talks about his money and influence, and how his competitors once tried to dip their hands in the “Trump Honeypot.” Or as Trump himself said at his candidacy announcement in June, “I’m really rich!”

He did it to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) on Tuesday when, in response to Graham’s “jackass” comment on Monday, he gave out the senator’s personal phone number. Meanwhile, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry‘s campaign team began tweeting screenshots of old tweets in which Trump threw his hat in the ring for Perry’s failed 2012 bid. So of course Trump was going to respond the only way he knew how — Instagram.

On Wednesday morning, Trump posted an old photo of him and Perry in his office from the 2012 election season. In the true fashion of the Donald, he wrote: “[Rick Perry] in my office last cycle playing nice and begging for my support and money. Hypocrite!”

Never change, Donald. Not only did your intern go and dig up the old photo and help you craft yet another expert insult, but did so in a way we all expected. That is, even when “supporting” Perry in 2012, you had him stand in front of your office’s “Wall of Excellence,” which appears to be a collection of photos of yourself and magazine covers. (I can see the Playboy behind Rick’s head, good sir. I’m not blind.)

You just keep doing you, and we’ll keep watching.

Trump is a Grade-A Prime asshole ....

But he's OUR Grade-A Prime asshole, and he's a lot of fun to watch.

Wait a sec. His competitors say all kinds of nasty things about him but when Donald responds, he’s the bad guy?

Trump needs to stop the personal attacks on Republican candidates and start concentrating on attacking Hillary.

Q: What’s the difference between Donald Trump’s limo, and a porcupine?

A: on a porcupine, the prick is on the outside.

This is all great fun, but I for one do not want another petty, thin-skinned, grudge-holding, egocentric narcissist as president.

If he wants my support, Mr. Trump needs to grow up, stop playing junior high school-level “I’m more popular than you are” games, and start outlining his detailed plans for fixing the United States.

I’m realy surprised Donald wastes any time on Perry anymore. Since Trump entered the race, Perry’s support has dried up to 0%.

Perry tried to bump up his own numbers by publicly going after Trump. It backfired and Trump gets the press and the bump.

The wise strategy for all these also rans is to avoid any confrontation with Trump. Cruz has taken that tack. Cruz is playing it smart.

He’s responding to Republicans and their inane attacks on him...they have nothing of substance to fight him with because they’re COMPLICIT in advancing 0bama’s agenda.

That he’s taking flak from the GOP-e says all I need to hear to confirm my ever present opinion of them...

So long as he doesn’t get trapped into apologizing for something or backtracking or explaining and limits his attacks on other Republican and gope candidates to one-liners, especially if humorous, he will stay on his roll.

He’s got to win the republican primary first, and Hillary is busy going down, anyway, and none of know how any of our candidates are helping engineer that in the background.
