Donald Trump on Monday night tore into the New Hampshire Union Leader and its publisher following an editorial comparing the real estate mogul to Biff from “Back to the Future” and describing Trump as “a crude blowhard with no clear political philosophy.”
During a campaign rally in New Hampshire, Trump called the Union Leader a “dishonest” and “failing” newspaper, and described publisher Joe McQuaid, who wrote the editorial, as a “low life” and a “sleazebag.”
The Union Leader had previously endorsed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), prompting Trump to call McQuaid Christie’s “lap dog” on Monday night. Trump also said that McQuaid once told him that he would never endorse Christie.
Trump wrapped up his rant about the Union Leader and Christie by throwing a copy of the paper from the stage and calling it a “piece of garbage.”
Earlier on Monday, Trump suggested in an interview with New Hampshire television station WMUR that Christie asked McQuaid to endorse him.
“This is the way Chris is, and he’s the one who got McQuaid to do this, there’s no question in my mind,” Trump said, according to Politico.
In a Monday night interview with MSNBC, McQuaid responded to Trump’s attacks and said the real estate mogul’s claim that Christie directed the Union Leader to endorse him was “nonsense.”
Watch Trump’s lengthy rant about the New Hampshire Union Leader, McQuaid and Christie via NBC News:
He keeps this up and everyone that matters will despise him.
I regard “crude blowhard” as rather understated. The Union-Leader typically shows less reserve in criticizing those they regard as undesirable Republicans.
With a short-temper.
Accesorized to match those famed-fingers.

Something is seriously wrong with this man. What a thin-skinned crybaby!
Can you imagine the reaction Pres. Obama would get if he reacted to each.and.every. criticism lobbed at him? He’d never get anything dome! If Trump were president ((((shudder)))), he’d spend all his time whining about bad press and crying over what so-and-so said about him.
Why aren’t the right wing nuts calling him out? We know if it were a Democrat acting like this it would be all they would be talking about. Yet this buffoon gets a pass from the “liberal” media.
