Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted during CNN’s undercard debate on Tuesday night that he didn’t want New York Gov. George Pataki’s accidental endorsement.
Pataki was asked about Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. and made a verbal slip when he responded that it was “one of the many absurd things this President has said.”
Trump trolled his rival on Twitter, saying that he didn’t want Pataki’s endorsement:
“@twlhb: @realDonaldTrump @GovernorPataki just called you “this PRESIDENT” !!! pic.twitter.com/z5pRWZgS08” But I don’t want his endorsement!

Here are some more of Trump’s troll-y tweets from before the primetime debate:
“@MrDeuce25: @CNN @LindseyGrahamSC DonaldTrump Good were glad he doesn’t represent what you stand for Lindsey. You are weak and have no clue

“@RobertH25937464: @CNN @LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump Lindsey still doesn’t hear Americans! Still at Zero! It’s like Monty Python.

Don’t worry Trump, Pataki called you a “Know nothing”. I wouldn’t call that a ringing endorsement.
Jeez, just observed Trump’s entourage on CNN…Will be be able to deal with the much smaller Presidential one?
Donald Trump:
Yeah, Donald, I’m pretty sure those Nazi Sympathizers and Conservative Terrorists you hear cheering you on aren’t Americans either - at least not by any definition of American Ideals that historians would recognize.
Better half and I were talking about Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka, y’know, the luscious one he would date, and her husband, both Jews (she converted). What must they think about dear old dad, pimping for votes among Nazi sympathizers and terrorists.
