Trump Blasted for Tweet Sniping at the Weekly Standard for Shutting Down: ‘What a Sh*t He Is’

President Donald Trump danced on the grave of The Weekly Standard today and was immediately criticized for taking that tone on the news of a respected conservative magazine shutting down.
The pathetic and dishonest Weekly Standard, run by failed prognosticator Bill Kristol (who, like many others, never had a clue), is flat broke and out of business. Too bad. May it rest in peace!

Veterans of the Weekly Standard reacted, along with others who found it unseemly Trump would cheer this on:

It's a week or so before Christmas. A magazine shuts down. People lose their jobs. And the President of the United States dances on their graves.
What a shit he is. What a narcissist shit he is. https://t.co/b4On2jSIKT
