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.
Got a belly laugh out of that one
Years ago the Republicans forgot that American presidential politics is a bare knuckled knock down drag out WAR! Post Ronald R. they have offered up nothing more than metrosexuals who are robotic wimps handled by a host of puppet masters.
Trump has filed an extensive financial disclosure. He has put his money where his mouth is. By doing so he opens himself up to all sorts of grief from a host of different people and groups that will pick his financials apart and build a very long list of things to bash Trump with.
I am so tired of pu$$ies and apparently a lot of other people are too. I am starting to admire Trump for doing what he has done.
As far as Rick Perry goes I know him and like him as a person. He did a fantastic job in Texas by getting out of the way of Texans. Trump would turn out to be Rick Perry on steroids as far as getting our economic house in better order as a country.
They keep hitting the ball across the net at Trump and he keeps swatting the ball back. This is so much fun to watch.
Like Obama did what?
Trump needs to stop the personal attacks on Republican candidates and start concentrating on attacking Hillary
___________________________________
Those same “Republican Candidates” would do well to follow that advise first.
Donald Trump is just responding to their attacks.
Perry or Trump?
Trump is looking the Godfather of the race.
He has to run the bases in front of him first. As far as personal attacks he is responding to what is thrown at him by a bunch of metrosexuals. Trump is looking strong and they are looking weak. Apparently they thought Trump would fold up and run away but instead he is the bunny from Monte Python and the Holy Grail.
Rick Perry in my opinion start becoming Mo Greene of this election
While the Donald the Godfather
“start outlining his detailed plans for fixing the United States.”
This is a smoke and mirrors show. Remember a lot of idiots vote too.
Isn’t it long past time for a red blooded American alpha male President?
Yes, it is.
He may when he doesn’t have to fend off the attacks from the Republican candidates, including Perry.
Trump and Obama not much difference.
Trump is from Noo Yawk where everything is played for keeps.

I’m waiting to see what Trump has in store for de Blasio & the ‘Rat councilmen in New York who are saying they will no longer do business with him & are reviewing the Trump/NYC contracts.
Personally, I think de Blasio et al should keep right on kicking the Trump hornet nest .... I’m sure The Donald will find something interesting he can do to make them regret it.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio: No More Business Deals Between City and Trump
http://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-mayor-bill-de-blasio-no-more-business-deals-between-city-and-trump-1437440285
Retaliation against a business for political reasons is a Major No-No that DeBlasio’s city attorney should be yelling in his ear.
Mr. Donald will have tens of millions in punitive award dollars given to him if the Loony Mr. Wilhelm actualizes his threat.
He’s probably already liable at this point. I’d say it’s gonna be feast time for Trump and his attorneys.
I think Trump is going to make de Blasio cry ... and probably beg for mercy at some point. :-)
LOL the only reason the other candidates are attracting Trump is because its the only way they can get on TV. The only reason Rick's name was even mentioned in the press in the last few days was because he started a fight with Trump.
They are invisible without him.
Watch your language, please; there are ladies present.
I disagree. He never insulted Perry. Perry went after Trump, which was stupid, and that required Trump to point out the hypocrisy of it, which Perry had coming to him.
Perry should have know what was coming. What is ironic about all of this is that these ankle-biters don’t have the guts to come after liberals this hard.
Why is that, since it is the REASON WE ELECTED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Some of these guys have all the qualities of a dog except loyalty. If somebody supports you and gives you money you can at least refrain from calling them a Jackass and a cancer on the country. I don’t blame Trump.
LOL, so true...
