2. This is how Trump treats anyone who challenges him

He didn't have the guts to respond immediately, but waits until he has the stage to himself and then strikes out.

Keep confronting him and he will eventually make a foolish enough retaliation that he will be in the single digits. Attacking a minister will alienate a lot of people.

8. After Colin Powell's 'national disgrace' jibe, Donald Trump says he was 'never a fan'

USA Today:
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump responded to Colin Powell calling him “a national disgrace” early Thursday, tweeting he was “never a fan” of the former secretary of State and retired four-star general.

Powell also called Trump an "international pariah," in personal emails that were leaked by hackers, according to BuzzFeed and The Daily Caller.

In response to Powell's disdain, Trump tweeted: “I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq = disaster. We can do much better!”
