Donald Trump Heaps Insults on RINO Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Other Foes [+video]

By Michael Scherer. A triumphant and unrepentant Donald Trump launched a barrage of personal attacks and name-calling on his campaign rivals Tuesday, most notably calling South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham an “idiot” and handing out Graham’s cell phone number to the whole world.

He dismissed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as “weak on immigration,” and mocked Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s glasses and Hillary Clinton’s hand wave.

“What a stiff, what a stiff, Lindsey Graham. By the way he has registered zero in the polls,” Trump said, at an appearance in Bluffton, S.C. “A total lightweight. In the private sector, he couldn’t get a job.”

Earlier in the day, Graham called Trump a “jackass.” In response, Trump called Graham an “idiot” and held up a card that included Graham’s personal phone number, then asked his supporters to call Graham. “I don’t know, give it a shot,” he said.

Graham’s campaign manager, Christian Ferry, said in a statement that Trump “continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander-in-chief.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Heaps Insults on Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Other Foes” HERE)

Donald Trump Releases Phone Number of U.S. Senator

By Lauren O’Neil. Today in Donald Trump news, the 2016 presidential candidate has released a rival’s personal cellphone number to everyone with an internet connection.

Trump was speaking at a televised campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday when he turned his attention to the state’s senior senator (and fellow Republican presidential hopeful) Lindsey Graham.

“I got called a jackass by this guy,” Trump said, referring to a comment Graham made to CNN earlier in the day in response to Trump’s assertion that Senator John McCain is “not a war hero.”

“Then I said to myself, ‘Hey, didn’t this guy call me like, four years ago?’ Yes,” Trump continued. “Lindsey Graham, I didn’t even know who he was.”

The businessman and host of the reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice explained that Graham had called him looking for a “good reference” on the Fox News program Fox & Friends, on which Trump is a regular guest, and also to solicit campaign donations. (Read more from this story HERE)
