27. Pot Calling Kettle Black

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.
