Trump On Bill Kristol

Maturity was brimming on Monday morning as Donald Trump got off to a brusque start by lacerating the media from Trump Tower. The presumptive GOP nominee called The Weekly Standard‘s Bill Kristol a “fool” and a “loser.” Trump concluded the reporter bashing segment of his speech by calling political reporters “some of the most dishonest people I’ve ever met.”

Kristol soon fired back on Twitter by calling Trump a “roaring jackass.”

Trump pointedly called Kristol out at the presser, saying, “He said Trump will never run. The guy is not a smart person. He said Donald Trump will never run. Do you remember? I actually blame you. Why do you put this guy on television? I see him on the different shows. He’s got no credibility. He said i won’t run. If I run, I won’t do well. He looks like such a fool. I saw him on one show and he’s practically crying because he can’t justify it. Now he comes out with a tweet over the weekend, over Memorial Day weekend. It sounds like he’s going to put somebody up.”

Kristol is a huge member of the #NeverTrump camp. He and his anti-Trump comrades have done extensive polling and talked to potential Sugar Daddies to fund a third-party candidate. Their mission is simple: STOP TRUMP.

When Fox News’ Carl Cameron questioned Trump on why he calls “every single” Republican a loser, Trump replied, “But I didn’t say everybody. Bill Kristol is a loser. His magazine is failing, as you know. …I don’t think it even survives.”

These are signature lines that Trump has used before on many other journalists.

And they still happen to have jobs in journalism.

The Mirror requested comment from Kristol on the state of his magazine.

UPDATE: Kristol replied to The Mirror, saying, “The Weekly Standard just celebrated its 1000th issue, and did so in our new offices for which we have a long-term lease. Unlike so many of Donald Trump’s enterprises, we have no intention of declaring bankruptcy or going out of business.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
