The past week was a pretty normal week on social media for Donald Trump, meaning that the Republican presidential front-runner inundated his nearly 5.2 million followers with poll numbers, praise for journalists who say nice things about him, and attacks on those who don’t. He also threw in plenty of pitches for his book, “Crippled America: How To Make America Great Again.”
Here’s a look at the last 7 days on Twitter with Donald J. Trump.
After CNN contributor SE Cupp said she’d rather see Hillary Clinton win the White House than have Trump win the nomination, Trump attacked Cupp multiple times.
.@secupp, who can't believe that her candidate has bombed so badly, is one of the dumber pundits on T.V. Hard to watch, zero talent! @CNN
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 10, 2015
Why does @CNN bore their audience with people like @secupp, a totally biased loser who doesn't have a clue. I hear she will soon be gone!

When the Mayor of Philadelphia said Trump is “an asshole,” Trump — swears regularly in speeches to large crowds — said he was outraged by the language.
.@Mayor_Nutter of Philadelphia, who is doing a terrible job, should be ashamed for using such a disgusting word in referring to me.Low life!

After Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said he’d like to launch Trump into space, Trump slammed his fellow billionaire and claim he only purchased the Post as a tax dodge.
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
When not attacking the Post, however, Trump cited it to defend himself.
A total refutation of the disgraceful David Brooks column in the failing @NYTimes by the @WashingtonPost: https://t.co/WbToL9lqD3

After NBC and CBS reporters falsely claimed Trump had been forced off stage by Black Lives Matter protesters, Trump came out swinging.
.@KatyTurNBC, 3rd rate reporter & @SopanDeb @ CBS lied. Finished in normal manner&signed autos for 20min. Dishonest! https://t.co/sCglbQjB3o
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2015
.@KatyTurNBC & @DebSopan should be fired for dishonest reporting. Thank you @GatewayPundit for reporting the truth. #Trump2016

Gee, @meetthepress with @chucktodd was getting terrible ratings then, with me, he set records – I saved his job, but Chuck still not nice!

The virtually incompetent Republican Strategist who has had a failed career, Cheri Jacobus, is incoherent with anger that her puppets died!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2015
Weak and totally conflicted people like @TheRickWilson shouldn't be allowed on television unless given an I.Q. test. Dumb as a rock! @CNN
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 10, 2015
.@JRubinBlogger one of the dumber bloggers @washingtonpost only writes purposely inaccurate pieces on me. She is in love with Marco Rubio?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2015
.@washingtonpost is going out of its way to tell failing candidates how to beat Donald Trump.The Post doesn’t get that I’m good at winning!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Even those who have crossed Trump in the past did not escape ridicule. He went after Macy’s, which dropped Trump’s clothing line in response to protests after he launched his campaign.
Good news, disloyal @Macys stock is in a total free fall. Don't shop there for Christmas! https://t.co/wpDDCWcLFD pic.twitter.com/vT3uGjiZ9B

In addition to swipes at opponents and journalists, Trump tweeted often about polls.
.@CNN Poll just came out, amazing numbers for those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! TRUMP 36%, a 20 point lead over 2nd place. Thanks.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2015
I am greatly honored by the results of the CNN poll in Iowa. In the end, I believe the final results will be even better than that!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
I am especially grateful for the tremendous support I have received from the Evangelicals in the just out Iowa CNN poll. Thank you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Thank you Iowa! #Trump2016 #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #FITN pic.twitter.com/uymSlYv7Jq

Just released @CNN Poll gives me a big 13 point lead in Iowa. Change your false story failing @nytimes. Thank you Iowa!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2015
Just won IOWA @CNN Poll BIG: Trump 33% Cruz 20% Rubio 11%, but @WSJ reported "Cruz momentum" but nothing about the fact that I easily won!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2015
I wish the @WSJ Wall Street Journal had reported the just out @CNN Iowa Poll correctly. I lead by a wide margin,13 points, going up big!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2015
A new poll indicates that 68% of my supporters would vote for me if I departed the GOP & ran as an independent. https://t.co/ztP5d2ctZl

A very big poll is coming out at 6 PM in New Hampshire. Will be very interested in the results.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2015
Great new poll from NH. Thank you! We need to keep this country safe! #Trump2016 https://t.co/r5K58xu8Mp pic.twitter.com/EAqHZ5ttmp

Great poll numbers just coming out of New Hampshire. BIG lead for "Trump" according to @CNN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2015
The failing @nytimes does not mention the new @CNN Poll that has me leading Iowa by a massive 13 points – I am at 33%. Maggie Haberman, sad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2015
When not touting polls or fighting with media, Trump found time to take swipes at political opponents.
Wonder if Obama will ever say RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2015
Hillary just said that she will not use the term "radical Islamic" – but was incapable of saying why. She is afraid of Obama & the e-mails!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2015
Hillary won't call out radical Islam! She will be soundly defeated.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Is that all there is? We need a new President – FAST!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Wish Obama would say ISIS, like almost everyone else, rather than ISIL.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Well, Obama refused to say (he just can't say it), that we are at WAR with RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
Obama said in his speech that Muslims are our sports heroes. What sport is he talking about, and who? Is Obama profiling?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
N.Y.C. has the worst Mayor in the United States. I hate watching what is happening with the dirty streets, the homeless and crime! Disgrace

The last person corrupt Hillary Clinton wants to run against is Donald J. Trump. I'll end up beating her in every state. New Fox Poll-Trump!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2015
Hillary Clinton does not have the STRENGTH or STAMINA to be President. We need strong and super smart for our next leader – or trouble!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2015
I told you @TIME Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite They picked person who is ruining Germany
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2015
In addition to retweeting supporters, Trump took time in his week to mention he has been signing copies of his new book, which are on sale now.
