Donald Trump said on Thursday he thinks The Weekly Standard magazine will endorse him — if the publication wants to be a “giant success.”
The real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate tweeted a message to the magazine’s editor, Bill Kristol, after the conservative media honcho had lobbed a couple bombs in his direction.
.@BillKristol Bill, your small and slightly failing magazine will be a giant success when you finally back Trump. Country will soar!

This week, Kristol had taken to Twitter to sound off on Trump’s campaign.
Memo to @realDonaldTrump: We are past PEAK TRUMP! Sell-by date approaching. Plan EXIT STRATEGY before Iowa! ADIOS amigo! #ArtOfTheWithdrawal

Hey, wasn’t rise of Trump supposed to be dooming GOP chances? Guess not.
“Clinton trails GOP in swing states.”

Perry: Trump’s candidacy “cancer on conservatism?” Nah. More like a colorful pimple, an unsightly growth that’s interesting but harmless.
