As Twitchy reported, Donald Trump tried to pick a fight with The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes, who — rightly — called Trump a “clown.”
He’s since moved on to National Review’s Jonah Goldberg, as Goldberg so magnificently documents:
My response to @realDonaldTrump http://t.co/uSXIaH9biR
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 21, 2015
Here’s just a sample of this glorious piece of gloriousness:
In response, the famously tough businessman who boasts he can take on Putin, the Chinese Politburo, and the mullahs got very upset. And as any first-rate presidential aspirant would, started relentlessly tweeting like a 14-year-old girl about it.
Again, if Trump is a tenth as brilliant as he says he is, there’s a really clever scheme hiding amidst all of this juvenile whining, like a shiny pony obscured by piles of manure. The thing is, I’m too dumb to see it. All I see is a guy who’s been preening for attention with bogus talk about running for president for years who’s deeply offended that nobody believes him or cares anymore.
…
If I didn’t find it all so hilarious, I’d think it was just a little sad.
Did Goldberg say anything that isn’t true? No. But The Donald doesn’t care. And he wants Goldberg’s head on a platter:
.@JonahNRO You stated that I started “relentlessly tweeting like a 14-year-old girl…” Horrible insult to women. Resign now or later!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015
People have been forced to resign positions for far less than @JonahNRO’s “tweeting like a 14 year old girl”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015
With a stupid guy like Jonah Goldberg who uses “tweeting like a 14 year old girl” to hit me, no wonder the NRO is doing so poorly. @JonahNRO
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015
Oh noes! Surely Goldberg is quaking in his boots!
.@realDonaldTrump We agree! Comparing you to a 14 year old girl *is* insulting to 14 year old girls. You nailed it sir.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 21, 2015
Snort. This is great, too:
.@realDonaldTrump Making up a fake feminist PC tantrum is *totally* the way to woo conservative Republicans. Brilliant.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 21, 2015
Shazam.
Solid TKO for @JonahNRO over @realDonaldTrump just now.

It’s a beautiful thing.
Between @realDonaldTrump and @JonahNRO, I'll side with Jonah everyday and twice on Sunday.

The funniest part is that @realDonaldTrump is tweeting like a 14 y/o girl in protest of being described as tweeting like a 14 y/o girl

Resign? I'll be the first to sign the letter to NR recommending @JonahNRO promotion! #DouchePuddle

What Donald Trump might not realize is he just got @JonahNRO the raise his readers have always been asking for from The Suits.

@realDonaldTrump You're really hung up on the 14 year old girl quip. Kinda sad that gets under your skin, tough guy. Delete your account.

This is how a candidacy ends, not with a bang but with self parody. @realDonaldTrump @JonahNRO https://t.co/HkR6PBGwn9

.@realDonaldTrump You make @MeghanMcCain look like Ronald Reagan

Ouch!
It's not every Tuesday you ponder whether you should block a billionaire because he's becoming a troll in your timeline.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 21, 2015
Treasure it. Until next time, that is …
Excuse me @realDonaldTrump but my friend says this will be your most embarrassing online moment, but I think you will top it. Who is right?
— IWantNothingHat (@Popehat) April 21, 2015
Donald is determined to dig that hole ever deeper:
I’m a conservative, but the weakness of conservatives is that they destroy each other, whereas liberals unite to win.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2015
Look at him. He’s just pa-recious!

This is funny because you're trying (failing, but trying) to destroy @JonahNRO and @StephenFHayes. https://t.co/ClzwUlZ46R

Maybe if we let him think he won, he’ll go away?
I give in. I shall resign later, much, much, much later.

Teehee!
