Donald Trump slammed conservative broadcaster Hugh Hewitt as a "third rate radio announcer" on Friday, one day after an interview with Hewitt exposed major gaps in Trump's foreign policy knowledge.
"It was like gotcha, gotcha," Trump said on MSNBC's Morning Joe. "Every question was do I know this one and that one? It was like he worked hard on that."
On Thursday, Hewitt asked Trump on his radio program about Quds Force commander Ghasem Soleimani. Trump responded an his oft-repeated line about how Kurds have been "mistreated."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said Kurds," he added when corrected.
But Trump quickly pivoted to slamming Hewitt for asking "gotcha questions" after the radio host suggested that the commander-in-chief should have an in-depth knowledge of players on the world stage.

Until Trump stands behind the jailed KIM, he lost my vote.
“Every question was do I know this one and that one? It was like he worked hard on that.”
Yes, Mr. Trump. Your advance people didn’t know that Hugh Hewitt is the trivia king of hack questions?
Hewitt has been on board The Cheap Labor Express for years.
They are really terrified of Trump shutting them down.
Would you not vote for Trump even if he is the GOP nominee?
Diff title and source.
Same topic. Could’ve just as easily posted it on the other thread. I really don’t care either way, just pointing it out.
This shoot the messenger strategy is going to wear thin pretty soon.
Eventually Trump is going to have to start giving answers to though questions.
His answers on gay marriage and Kim Davis were wholly unsatisfying. He’s tough on immigration with his mouth, but his “the Supreme Court has spoken” answers on gay marriage make me question whether he would be willing to actually fight for any conservative position, including abortion and immigration.
Well, Donald, DO YOU OR DON'T YOU?
Bombast is fine for getting attention, but we're looking for a President, not a Don Rickles sound-alike.
Where's the beef?
The Repub treasonists did the same exact thing to Herman Caine when he was becoming a threat, I suppose next they will be shuffling out the hired whores to claim Trump sexually assaulted them and/or had an affair.
this hughes and series.
I'll jump off that bridge when I get to it.
Trying to do to him what they tried to do to Sarah
Trump takes the podium for his inaugural speech, 20 January 2017 - "Okay, assholes........."
The average American doesn’t know who Joe Biden is. Played right, this will make Trump more approachable and likable.
Yep.
I'm really beginning to think that he figured out that talking tough on immigration would be popular, but he doesn't realize that there's more to it than this.
Does he think the Supreme Court will actually go along with his immigration agenda as he's sold it to his supporters? Because THAT is highly unlikely.
He's starting to act and sound A LOT like Obama.
Donald, you can expect every dirty trick in the world to be used against you from this point on.
Expect rape and birth control questions. They are coming.
The State Department has people DEDICATED to understanding who’s running what movement in Africa at a particular time. I’m sure that Trump will populate those positions, so the needs of the Quds Movement will be addressed.
