Barry Diller, chairman and founder of IAC Interactive, said Tuesday that he would leave the country — or join the resistance — if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “doesn’t fall,” Bloomberg reported.

Diller criticized Trump at the Bloomberg Markets Most Influential Summit.

“All he is is a huckster,” Diller said, according to the report. “Somebody who learned long ago in real estate that if you can make a big name for yourself, it can get you an extra dollar. He’s a self-promoting huckster who found a vein. A vein of meanness and nastiness.”

“If Donald Trump doesn’t fall, I’ll either move out of the country or join the resistance,” Diller said, adding that he was sure Trump would not be president.

    He’s just a loser, and he’s bald. Who’d listen to someone who looks like that?

    he won’t have to go far… he can just proclaim that island he’s building alongside manhattan as a separate country… and take up permanent residence there. and he’ll still have that fantastic skyline within view.

    I am not a fan of Diller, but how is he a loser and what does his being bald have to do with anything?

  4. Channel your inner Trump and it all makes sense.

  5. Check your Snark-O-Meter™.

    (Trump has “good hair” and calls everyone a loser.)
