Trump Says Rand Paul 'Reminds Me of a Spoiled Brat Without a Properly Functioning Brain'

Source: Business Insider Aug. 10, 2015, 9:08 PM

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is trying to intensify a fight with current Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.Paul's campaign on Monday announced a conference call with reporters specifically dedicated to Trump. During that call, Paul slammed the real-estate magnate for conducting a substance-less presidential campaign and making derogatory comments about women.

"The truth telling is bluster, the truth-telling is non-sequitur, self-aggrandizement, but is there really anything substantive coming out of saying that people are fat, people are stupid?" Paul said of Trump.

Calling Trump a "fake conservative," Paul listed off the issues where Trump has agreed with Democrats in the past, including supporting the 2008 bank bailouts, supporting some stricter measures on gun ownership, and saying that a single-payer healthcare system "could have worked."

Paul's broadside caused Trump to respond with one of his own Monday evening. Writing on Twitter, the real-estate developer declared that Paul was "truly weird" and "reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain":

accurate. 1. "Truly weird"; 2. "... spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain." They are also accurate in describing Trump.

But he has stolen the Republican show. The question is whether he can keep it up.

(some suggestions, since you are after all a spoiled brat who's brain does not fully function):

"Donald Trump spent 13 weeks interviewing candidates and then hired Gary Busey."

"Trump's definition of success is 4 failed marriages, 5 draft deferments and 4 bankruptcies."

"When Donald Trump takes viagra he gets taller."

"Donald Trump has all the vocabulary of 7 year-old who just did a "Sopranos" marathon."

"A misogynist, a sociopath and a human troll doll walk into a bar. Bartender says "Good morning Mr Trump."

2008, bank bail-outs was the repub answer to our economic mess. Pushed in great part by cheney.

Not sure where Trump's 'agreement' with Dems comes from.

Planting seeds, no doubt.

27. Pot Calling Kettle Black
Tue Aug 11, 2015, 04:48 PM
Aug 2015

Donald Trump calling Rand Paul a "spoiled brat" is worse than the pot calling the kettle black. I am not a fan of Rand Paul's policies, but at least he had to work fairly hard to gain his accomplishments. Donald Trump had an entire multi-million dollar real estate company handed to him. Rand Paul is the son of long time congressman Ron Paul and Rand may have grown up in a middle class household, but he went to college and became a doctor. Yes, his dad's success most likely helped Rand Paul make it through college and medical school, but Rand Paul did not just walk out of college and have a company and job waiting for him; Trump did.

In addition, Donald Trump acts much more like a spoiled brat than Rand Paul. The moment someone asks Trump a hard question, or offers a criticism of him Trump resorts to name calling. Trump cannot handle anyone disagreeing with him. Rand Paul does some stupid things, but he has not done anything on the level of what Trump has done.

It seemed to be getting pretty bizarre Trump pal'ing with Sarah Palin .
Than he floats the notion about a Trump administration having a place for those Palin's.If you wondered what the hell is Trump scraping bottom for, you must remember, Palin went down there discovered the worth than exploited the proceeds.

Did Palin realize she was in Trump territory ?
Unlikely , but she did get there.

Trump's been at the old round-up since the 80's and as you know the kids have grown up with Trump, grown up in great numbers !,.Yes they grew up in Trump's arena.

If there is value to Plain's participation ,Trump will exploit it ,maximize on the worth than discard her. After all she did step into his arena.

All this just adds a bit of a longer length to the what the hell it is.

Oh yes ,Rand Paul took it all very very personally,and that is because his everything is on the line.
That's why his jump on Trump rant on the debate show was so funny. His everything lol.

And wasn't he quick to quip out there he was put there by the tea party -more or less indicating he is there direct representative.

Trump was saying he's just a wayward punk.

Did Trump see it coming ? !! The Trump show !
