HAMPTON, N.H. GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump called Boston Mayor Marty Walsh a clown after he was called out to accept the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Friday. Related
"He's a clown, Marty Walsh," Trump said at a rally in New Hampshire Friday night. "This guy Marty Walsh. He spends all this time and effort and money on an Olympic bid, and then he goes out and he's talking about ice bucket challenges. Get a real mayor."
Trump did take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, though.
He also took a jab at Gov. Charlie Baker.
"Gov. Baker should only dream about doing for women what I've done for women, and what I will do," he said.
Trump told the raucous New Hampshire crowd Friday that he'd make a smarter president than any of his competitors when it comes to the economy, the military and everything else.
"We will make great trade deals, we will save Social Security without cuts, we will come up with health care plans that will be phenomenal -- phenomenal," Trump told a packed high school auditorium.
Trump's trip to the first primary state comes as he continues to hold a commanding lead in the Republican presidential primary polls, despite a spat with Fox News personality Megyn Kelly, staff shakeups and continued criticism over his comments about Mexican immigrants.
Although he speaks without a script, Trump's talking points here echoed those he's made on the campaign trail for months, namely touting his skills as a negotiator.
The crowd ate it up.
"He's a breath of fresh air that's deviating from the traditional political talk and focusing on things that I think many Americans want to hear," said Stephen Boeddinghaus, who attended the rally with his wife.
"We've been to several political rallies through the years and never -- never -- have we seen enthusiasm as displayed here tonight."
Boeddinghaus said he is a fan of Trump's, but he'd eventually like to hear more specifics on how Trump would achieve his goals.
So far, Trump has yet to release specific policies on any of the subjects he touts on the campaign trail. Speaking to reporters before the rally, he said his campaign is in the process of crafting policies and will likely release details in September.
"I have some of the most brilliant people in the country working on tax," he said. "We have some amazing people working on immigration."
Trump hasn't shied away from attacking his Republican primary rivals, and he kept the heat on Friday, taking on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on foreign policy, saying Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has no chance at the nomination and criticizing former technology executive Carly Fiorina's tenure leading Hewlett-Packard.
"After the debate our poll numbers went up," he said, referencing the first Fox News debate, for which 24 million viewers tuned in. "Do you think they were there for Jeb Bush or Rand Paul?"
Often drawing laughs, loud applause and sustained cheers from the crowd, Trump relished his role as the GOP's hottest candidate.
"You know," Trump told the crowd. "they're calling it the summer of Trump."
Is he like mumbles Menino?
If The Donald played piano while he talked I might go see his show.
ehhh it is free.. Even without the piano it might be worth the time...
America’s “Color Revolution”.
Dump Trump
Why not ShineOn Trump.
You never know. It might work.
Marty is a reformed drunk....from the neighborhood.
Mumbles was exciting by comparison. Try and wrap your head around that.
Summer of Trump OK;
But please let it be followed by the Fall of Trump
Go Ted!
