Here’s another case of The Donald trumping satire. In the midst of one of his Twitter tirades, Trump lashed out at his arch enemy (well, one of them), the New York Times.<\/p>\n

\"Donald
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Something got stuck in Trump’s craw. As usual, he never mentions what it is he’s upset about, nor offers a substantive rebuttal. He just launches blind rhetorical missiles. This time he began by attacking columnist Maureen Dowd, who he called “crazy,”<\/em> “wacky,”<\/em> and “a neurotic dope.”<\/em> He piled on by calling the Times “failing,”<\/em> “disgusting,”<\/em> and “a laughingstock rag.”<\/em> But the piece de resistance was a legal threat that made no sense at all:<\/p>\n

\n

My lawyers want to sue the failing @nytimes<\/a> so badly for irresponsible intent. I said no (for now), but they are watching. Really disgusting<\/p>\n
