Elizabeth Warren laughs at Trump’s wimpy insults: ‘That’s the best you could come up with?’

Elizabeth Warren fired back at GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who called her “goofy.”

Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and a legal scholar at Harvard Law, laid into Trump on his favorite medium, Twitter, even deploying some of his own tactics against him.

“I called out [Donald Trump] on Tuesday. 45 million saw it. He’s so confident about his ‘counter punch’ he waited until Friday night. Lame,” Warren tweeted.

In response to Warren’s Twitter onslaught, Trump called her “goofy,” which Warren laughed at in an interview posted by Policy Mic on Wednesday.

“Really? That’s the best you could come up with?” Warren said. “I thought Donald Trump said he was a guy who was good with words.”

In the interview, Warren also warned that electing Donald Trump will only result in economic inequality.

And knows how to treat him with the disrespect and disdain that will harm him the most. _That's_ the way to treat Trump.

It would be awesome to see Trump humiliated on the world stage.

That said, knowing Trump, he will probably blame others for his loss - the media, the Republican establishment, his former opponents in the race, evangelicals, Mexicans, blacks, Asians, women, etc. It could not be his fault. So, while we're all laughing at him, he probably won't be crushed mentally because it won't be his fault.
