Trump Rants on Twitter About ‘Gym Rat’ GOP Senator and Fox News
Donald Trump went on yet another Twitter rant tonight, this time mostly about a conservative Republican senator who said some not-nice things about him.
Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse said what he’s been saying for a few days now: Donald Trump would not be a president who follows the Constitution, he would be a Republican Obama, and he’s held plenty of liberal positions in the recent past.
Trump got wind of what Sasse said on Fox and really went on a tear, even calling Ted Cruz “Canada Ted”:
The great State of Nebraska can do much better than @BenSasse as your Senator. Saw him on @greta – totally ineffective. Wants paid for pols.

.@BenSasse looks more like a gym rat than a U.S. Senator. How the hell did he ever get elected? @greta
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016
Amazing that Ted Cruz can't even get a Senator like @BenSasse, who is easy, to endorse him. Not one Senator is endorsing Canada Ted!

Sasse responded in the most glorious way imaginable for an elected official:
Thanks. As the sonuva football &wrestling coach, this is high praise
MT"@realDonaldTrump: @BenSasse looks more like gym rat than US Senator"

Good grief. With a response like this you'd think I asked Mr @realDonaldTrump abt the length of his fingers or something important like that
— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) January 30, 2016
(Trump is apparently sensitive about people talking about the size of his fingers.)
UPDATE –– 1/30, 12:29 pm EST: If you want to know what got Trump so upset, you can watch the Fox News segment here:
Trump also ranted about Fox News because they had the gall to focus more on the debate they covered than the rally he slighted them to hold:
.@FoxNews is the only network that does not even mention my very successful event last night. $6,000,000 raised in one hour for our VETS.

.@oreillyfactor The people of Iowa love the fact that I stuck up for my rights, as I will do for the U.S. Also got $6,000,000 for our VETS!

"@classyexplorer: @oreillyfactor @DRUDGE So Bill if America was SO LONGING to learn more about candidates why the 50 percent audience loss?"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016
"@gigglemitz: @GeraldoRivera @FoxNews damn fox is really acting like a baby today. I guess Trump got under their skin – pretty biased!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016
Oh, and he also tweeted about Hillary Clinton‘s , but obviously something of real concern to conservatives has to take a backseat to people not kissing Trump’s ring.
