Trump Fires Back! Tells Laura Ingraham Huntsman’s Anatomy Comment Was ‘Disgusting’

audio
» 31 comments

The Donald Trump debate brawl between the reality TV titan and apparently everyone else on the American right (except Newt Gingrich?) continued full steam ahead today, as Mitt Romney declined the debate invitation and Ed Rollins joined in on the Trump-bashing. Not one to be left behind, Trump joined Laura Ingraham on her show today to blame Karl Rove for single-handedly guaranteeing a victory for President Obama and call Jon Huntsman‘s quip that he wouldn’t kiss “any part of his anatomy” “sort of disgusting.”

Ingraham began the interview by asking about Rove, who Trump could not express more disdain for. “What did he do? He gave you Bush and he and Bush crashed and burned– and, to be honest, Laura, nobody could have won that election,” he said of Rove and the 2008 election, suggesting that the damage done under Rove’s watch made a Republican victory impossible. He goes on to call Rove a “political hack” and attack Charles Krauthammer because “he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” “I don’t even know this guy,” he exclaims of Krauthammer, before turning again to Rove and concluding that “Karl Rove gave us Obama.”

Ingraham then turned to Huntsman’s comments yesterday that he was “not going to kiss [Trump’s] ring, and I’m not going to kiss any other part of his anatomy.” “Well first of all, I think it is sort of a disgusting statement and, you know, I am surprised that it comes out of his mouth. And second of all, I am not allowed to run because of the equal time provisions.” The latter sentiment was to explain why he hadn’t run for president in the Republican ticket, a choice that Huntsman had argued demonstrated a lack of “courage.” Ingraham pressed Trump on why he hadn’t left The Apprentice for a run for office, flatly asking whether he considered the future of his country more important than the future of his TV show. “We both know the answer to that question,” he replied, though insisting that leaving the show was a difficult decision, and that the regulation that forced him into that choice was unfair.

Trump concluded by once again noting that he thought his debate would be a “very, very highly-rated debate” because “everybody’s talking about this debate,” and that he didn’t know for sure, but believed Romney would show (the interview occurred before Romney declined the invitation). Romney declining the invitation puts the existence of the debate definitively in peril, however, though one can expect Trump’s bravado will not let down because of potential setbacks.

    Huntsman won’t kiss Trump’s butt? I think Trump probably needs to hear that a little more often…

    Huntsman has offended Trump’s delicate sensibilities.

     If you actually listen to this whole interview its amazing how Trump dodges and avoids any serious questions. Ingraham who I cannot stand, appeared to be kissing his ass, but at the same time she was very cleverly asking him questions that he would not or could not answer.  Whats interesting to me about rich and powerful men like Trump is that the never seem to be satisfied with how rich and powerful they are. They always want more.

    Trump can sure dish it out but can’t take it. Cries like a little child.

    Say what you will about Trump, but he is 100% correct about everything he said about Rove.

    This may turn out to be Huntsman’s Sister Soujah moment.

    Exactly. This guy bloviates to no end, insulting everyone left and right, but gets pissed at the slightest slight. My favorite Donald memory is when Obama took him down in front of a crowd of hundreds and he had no choice but to sit there and smirk. I’m sure his limo driver really got it that evening.

    A Rug That’s Too Bad To Fail

    A possum headed bankrupt who’s too big to fail
    Thinks the electoral process is up for sale
    He want to moderate
    His own personal debate
    So the candidates can lift and kiss under his tail!

    Our friend, Donald Trump, has issued a rant
    “Cause attendance at his debate is gonna be scant.
    He’s all in a huff, 
    And his rugs in a scuff
    The like’s of which we haven’t seen since Jimmy Traficant!

    Yes, Huntsman owes you an apology, Donald. But then anyone who has your barber, really is not too concerned about the public perceives your appearance.

    Why to go Donald you are single handily pitting  members of the GOP against each other even without a debate.  Are you really that stupid or dumb as a fox. 

    He has a way of getting the media all spun-up.

    Lord knows there’s no money in the Presidency. Plenty of ratings but no moolah.

    Except what he said about Obama.  McCain, who ran such an inept campaign that could’ve been run, is more responsible for 44′s win than anyone or anything else.  I mean if you would’ve told me on November 1st 2008 that a “Black” looking guy would beat out an Anglo-Saxon for POTUS, I would’ve suggested that you spend sometime in a rubber room.  I mean there’s a reason why its called the White House and it isn’t the paint

    Boy, the Comb-Over is sure full of himself isn’t he? Anyway, all we have to do is wait long enough and Mittens will change his mind. Too bad Huntsman isn’t tracking better, then again he is the only reTHUGlican candidate that has a little bit of common sense. Maybe he ought to hop the train to crazy town, then maybe he’ll track better. Anyway, Trump is as hard to get rid of then the clap that you would get from a trailer-park, meth addicted hooker

    Out goes the Cain clown and the replacement clown is Trump.

    An oddly furred wanker called Trump,
    Persists as a pain in the rump.
    He’s called all the ‘Licans,
    For an apprentice-like kickin’,
    But they all just say, “take a dump.”

    But McCain might have had a chance until he stapled the albatross of Sarah Palin to his chest. He was dead man walking from that point on. Still is, I guess.

    Donald Trump can deny it all he wants, but the fact of the matter is that the candidates who are going to participate in his self-moderated debate are kissing his ass. They know it and he knows it. Trump has a god complex. I know more about him than most of the candidates. Just watching him do interviews, you learn that Celebrity Apprentice is #1 in the 10 PM time slot on Sundays, he graduated from Wharton Business School, the best in the country, and that Forbes Magazine has underestmiated his wealth. I wonder if Wharton taught him that imposing a 25% tariff on Chinese imports would start a trade war which we can’t possibly win.

    ACU Endorses Trump Debate, Says GOP Candidates Should Attend
    The American Conservative Union, the nation’s leading conservative
    organization, strongly endorses the Newsmax ION Television 2012
    Presidential Debate.
    The ACU, host of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), will be a sponsor of the debate.
    “The American Conservative Union is proud to sponsor the upcoming
    Newsmax ION Television 2012 Presidential Debate,” ACU Chairman Al
    Cardenas said Tuesday. The Newsmax ION Television 2012 Presidential
    Debate is scheduled for December 27 in Des Moines, Iowa.
    “Debates have already played a key role in this nominating process
    and present our best opportunity for comparing and contrasting
    candidates on core conservative issues,” Cardenas said. “As the critical
    Iowa Caucuses quickly approach, we must continue vetting the field to
    ensure conservatives put forward a tested, competent leader to challenge
    President Obama next fall.
    “We strongly encourage all Republican presidential candidates to participate.

    Let’s talk about something more important instead, like the e-mails just released today by the DOJ today confirming that the obama DOJ was intentionally and illegally selling guns to the Mexican drug gangs with the intention of using the crimes committed with those “American weapons” to attack the second amendment. Subversion of the constitution anyone? Are there trials, convictions, perhaps executions for being accessories to murder and treason in order here? What would your opinion be if it had been a Republican admin that had done this and caused the death of U.S. agents and HUNDREDS of Mexican nationals?
