When Hewitt said he would use “different language” to communicate a message on the Obama administration’s policies, Trump responded: “But they wouldn’t talk about your language and they do talk about my language”.
“I don’t care. He was the founder”, Trump said. “He was the founder”.

They make their verbal poo poo any place to get attention. “And the something else in mind, you know, people can’t believe it”, Trump said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends”. They’re in a civil war over there, Wolf. “I don’t think I’ve made too many errors”, he told CNBC. “Or it’s going to be taken away from us”.
