'I did it for fun': Donald Trump on giving out rival Lindsey Graham's phone number
The Business Insider ^ | 7/22 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 07/22/2015 7:35:12 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Real-estate developer Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had no regrets about announcing the personal cell-phone number of a rival presidential candidate, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), at a rally.

"I did it for fun, and everybody had a good time," Trump said in a "Fox & Friends" interview.

Trump raised eyebrows Tuesday when, in the middle of a speech in Graham's home state, he mocked the senator for once reaching out to him for help.

"He called me four years ago, ... I didn't even know who he was," Trump declared, holding up a piece of paper with Graham's cell-phone number written on it.

"So I don't know, give it a shot," he told his supporters after reading out the number. "Your local politician. He won't fix anything, but at least he'll talk to you."

Linda is running only so he’ll be known as a “former Presidential candidate”, in my opinion.

Trump is as thin-skinned as they come.

If someone went in front of a microphone and gave out his cell number, he would sue for millions and scream about the crime committed against him.

” It was somewhat juvenile, yes. But c’mon, seeing the pompous progressive princess Lindsey Graham mocked in this manner is quite satisfying.”

I like the way he’s cutting down all these self-important. pompous asses down to size... and evidently so do millions others.

He has single handedly redefined what’s acceptable political speech and in the process has shown up all the little emperors as naked.

His dismissive single word putdowns which is then repeated a thousand times in the media must be traumatizing to the inflated egos of their targets.

Not Juvenile. Here was what Trump was saying:
1. If you call his office, he’s never going to know that. His staff will insulate him from it.

2. Here’s his cell. You can actually reach him at that number (until tomorrow, when he gets a new phone number) and you can talk to him, BUT HE STILL ISN’T GOING TO FIX ANYTHING.

3. This guy will be even LESS ACCESSIBLE as President, and worse HE STILL ISN’T GOING TO FIX ANYTHING.

As such, here’s his cell. Talking to him won’t do you any good, and you can bet that number isn’t going to work in the very near future.

Now I really believe the guy is brilliant.

The adjective actually came from the drink. Now all we need is a version with that guy on the cover replaced with Donald Trump.

This is a big deal?

Obama is ruining our Country for Fun. Did you see him yucking it up on the Daily Show over the Iran Deal? Then he laughed at Dick Cheney for calling him on making the deal.

HAR DE HAR HAR...

Maybe you should go after him.

Moxie is the official soft drink of Maine. I wanted to like it, but it is NASTY stuff, hence the description. It has a sort of licoricey taste to it. It is available on line or at very well-stocked stores nationwide.

Television reality show outrageous. But it could not happen to a nicer girl than that nasty Ms. Lindsay.
