Real-estate magnate Donald Trump just had one of the most contentious interviews so far of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump, who has a high-profile feud with NBCUniversal, sat down Wednesday with NBC News' Katy Tur.
And after Tur challenged Trump's argument linking violent crime to illegal immigration, he told her she should be better informed.
"Don't be naive. You're a very naive person," he said.
When Tur stumbled while referencing some statistics to bolster her point, Trump mocked her inability to get the question out.
"Try getting it out. Try getting it out. I mean, I don't know if you're going to put this on television. But you don't even know what you're talking about. Try getting it out, go ahead," he said.

At another point in the exchange, Trump mocked his media critics. According to video posted by Mediaite, Trump panned conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer as a "totally overrated person" and touted his own wealth compared to the National Review's Jonah Goldberg.
"You know, it's interesting. I went to the best school, got great marks, everything else. I went out, I made a fortune, a big fortune, a tremendous fortune," he said. "Then I get called [out] by a guy that can’t buy a pair of pants? I get called names? Give me a break."

It is shocking indeed!
I had not heard/though of him since the LA riots, until this news.
Hilarious!
WHACK ‘EM ALL!
In my opinion, Trump’s attitude is an issue. Can you name any president like him?
“Because you are on just about every thread having to do with Trump posting inane childish garbage?”
Nailed it.
GREAT FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
bkepley: After reviewing your other posts calling Trump “stupid”, a question for you:
Is what Trump did, as described in the story above, “stupid”?
IMHO the brouhaha that is Trump is not Trump, but the fact that when he says something like the above, there isn’t any credible response, just the typical hairpulling hysteria that the Left has used so effectively to silence conservatives.
I don’t think, and really don’t care, if Trump is a conservative. However I think he is doing a service by firing an occasional conservative volley into the fray, because it shows how shallow the Left’s response is, beyond the standard “SHUT UP YOU’RE A HATER!!!!!!” rant. IMHO the biggest threat to this country is the power of such rants. If they are shown as paper tigers, all the better, even if it has to be done by a rich guy with bad hair.
Again, curious if you think that pushing back against the liberal news media is “stupid”. Seriously.
Thanks

Well ole Charles already knows most of the Fox viewers think he is a RINO thanks to his fan mail. :)
Made it myself, if I might brag a tad. Kind of stole the idea though.
Yep, I'm sure she just loves The Donald and wanted to throw softballs - did she ask what kind of ice cream he liked?
Trump is doing a great job in bringing immigration to the forefront and I hope he keeps doing it. He would be crushed by the Beast if he got the nomination and he is not worthy of the office.
“Katy Tur was Keith Olbermann’s girlfriend.”
Beard, maybe. Girlfriend, doubt it. Not that homosexual.
Well neither is Hillary so let him tear her apart now.
Donald Trump defenders calling someone childish takes the cake.
Well, I did ask a direct question. Guess there won’t be a direct answer.
I am just waiting for ole Cankles or one of her Handlers to attack Donald’s business dealings.
His response will be equivalent to a 500 Megaton Nuclear bomb.
I thought my answer was clear. What didn’t I answer?
I'd like to know what attitude you are referring to before suggesting past presidents.

Watch a Cruz interview with a hostile reporter if you don't understand. Trump is a spoiled rich kid who can't control his emotions.
It’s on now .MSNBC
