In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, GOP front runner Donald Trump is firing back at the Club for Growth.
“They’re a pack of thieves,” Trump told Breitbart News as he was leaving Nashville’s Rocketown facility. He had just finished delivering a high-energy speech to an overflow crowd of more than 1,000 people.
Trump was attending the annual convention of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, which describes itself as “the grassroots Republican wing of the Republican Party.”
“They [the Club for Growth] came to my office looking for money. I turned them down. That’s why they’re after me,” Trump told Breitbart News.
Earlier in the week, the Club for Growth attacked Trump for his proposal to penalize Ford Motor Company for putting a car manufacturing plant in Mexico rather than Tennessee.
“Donald Trump’s threat to impose new taxes on U.S. car companies will hurt the American economy and cost more American jobs,” David McIntosh, President of the Club for Growth, said in a statement.
“It should thrill liberals and Democrats everywhere that Trump wants to create new taxes and start a trade war to force American companies to work where he demands,” McIntosh added.
Trump stopped specifically to address Breitbart’s question as he moved down the exit aisles surrounded by throngs of supporters.
“I love Breitbart News. This is going to be a good question,” Trump said.
Trump did not pull any punches when asked if he had a message for the Club for Growth in response to its attacks.
Other candidates might shy away from calling out their critics so bluntly as “a pack of thieves,” but for Trump it was just another opportunity to take the battle to the opposition.

Another one hits the dust.
They are a pack of thieves.
They want to ship American industries overseas, depriving Americans of jobs. But they still want Americans to buy the products made overseas until our wealth runs out. They care more about lining their pockets with a temporary profit than about America.
They attacked him for seeking to keep car manufacturing in Detroit instead sending it to Mexico.
Trump told them that he doesn’t need or want their support.
Ouch!
And the mark! Bull`s eye, Donald.
Can he keep this up for six months???? I wonder if he is like Clarence Thomas and sleeps 3 hours a night
Trump still speaking truth to power.
I love it!
He has been operating at this speed for decades.
Actually, it’s likely a slower pace than his usual days.
I used to like the Club for Growth, but they seemed to sell out to the GOPe back when W was president.
Read somewhere he only sleeps 4-5 hours a night.
All donate to GOPe for cheap illegal labor.
They are not pro America
Go Trump Go!
Trump is POWER speaking truth to power.
My takeaway is the hilarious reference to his “high energy” speech. Even Breitbart (may he rest in peace) is taking shots at Jeb.
He recently made reference to how he tosses and turns at night thinking about problems. So he obviously has some sleep difficulties - not unusual, actually, in HIGH ENERGY types, as he might say.
That’s right!
I’m with Club For Growth. Do we want to go back to the 1950’s, days when GM, Ford and Chrysler built junk that would not last 100,000 miles, and paid their low skilled assembly workers premium wages and benefits which were built into the monopoly price of the vehicle? Global competition has made the modern vehicle an incredibly attractive, safe and reliable machine available to everyone.
I sure do!
I want small furry animals to catch fire every 10 minutes also. s/off
Non-sequitur much?
Trump is not one bit conservative
Well, then can do that in Tennessee just as easy they can do it in Mexico, right?
