Donald Trump and Fox News pundit Charles Krauthammer have become embroiled in a spat, which resulted in the billionaire launching a scathing attack on his rival on Twitter.
The entire incident began on Thursday’s edition of Fox News’ Special Report when Charles Krauthammer revealed that Donald Trump was the first on a poll of presidential candidates that people won’t vote for. According to Cleveland , Krauthammer informed Bret Baier that the mogul led the poll “with a deserved 59 percent.”
Krauthammer knew that Trump would have a response to his revelation, as he followed his comments up with, “[Trump] is going to say how sad it is that I’m saying these things. But, you know, this is an open forum and we have free speech. He has a well-deserved and, I would say, an impressive 59 percent.”
It turns out that Krauthammer was 100 percent correct with his assumption that Trump would retaliate. In fact, Trump took to his Twitter account and informed his 2.94 million followers of his thoughts on Krauthammer.
One of the worst and most boring political pundits on television is @krauthammer . A totally overrated clown who speaks without knowing facts

. @krauthammer pretends to be a smart guy, but if you look at his record, he isn’t. A dummy who is on too many Fox shows. An overrated clown!

Dummy political pundit @krauthammer constantly pressed the crazy war in Iraq. Many lives and trillions of dollars wasted. U.S. got NOTHING!

In fact, Trump also decided to then take aim at Krauthammer’s book, “Things That Matter.”
“ @krauthammer : On sale today. Things That Matter in paperback. With a new section on the Obama years. Book sucks!

Krauthammer’s figures were actually pretty generous to Trump, because according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll that was released last week Trump’s unfavorability rating is currently at 71 percent. However, there are some Republican voters who believe that the business magnate, chairman, and president of The Trump Organization and founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts is the perfect candidate to instigate an economical renaissance because of his business acumen.
Back in 2010, Donald Trump teased that he would consider running for the President Of The United States in the 2012 election. However, in May 2011 he confirmed that he wouldn’t be following through wit this suggestion. Trump is expected to announce on June 16, 2015, whether or not he will be running for President.
