After Newt Gingrich criticized presumptive nominee Donald Trump’s continuing attacks on a U.S. District judge for his Mexican heritage, the real estate mogul said Monday the former House Speaker’s remarks were “inappropriate.”
“As far as Newt is concerned, I saw Newt, I was surprised at Newt, I thought it was inappropriate what he said,” Trump said during a phone-in on “Fox and Friends.”
Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade pressed Trump on how it can benefit his campaign to keep going after the U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel for his handling of cases that “most of the country doesn’t care about.”
“You know why, and you’re right. Most people don’t care about it but it gets brought up by the other side,” Trump replied.
Asked again if criticism from Gingrich, who has supported Trump, hits home, the businessman said he’s only trying to “figure out why I’m being treated so unfairly by a judge.”
On Sunday, Gingrich called the attacks on Curiel “one of the worst mistakes Trump has made” and “inexcusable.”
They were inappropriate; in that, Newt has said far worse and thinks he gets a pass.
At this point, the only appropriate nickname for Donald isn’t Dumb Donald, or Bigoted Donald or Ignorant Donald, or Lyin’ Donald, or Crooked Donald even tho’ all of these may be true.
The appropriate name is Dear Leader.
Because, like the North Korean dictator, he feels he should be immune from criticism, and that he can make equally absurd claims, and his followers will lap it up like mother’s milk.
‘I mean, I’m rich. I’m very rich. He should know that I’m allowed to fleece the little people. I’m trying to figure out why I can’t buy a good ruling.’
…Trump said during a phone-in on “Fox and Friends.”
'nuff said. Do we really need to report on every Trump fart?
More than inappropriate …the comments Trump has made about the judge should rate as contempt.
