O’Reilly admitted that he and Trump attended Yankees and Knicks game together in the past while promoting his new book, “Killing Reagan“, on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, before suggesting that Trump’s resonance with voters was rooted in disaffection with President Obama’s handling of the economy. “The worst thing you can give Donald Trump is this tweeting thing”, O’Reilly said.

In another blast, Trump said “The O’Reilly Factor” was “boring”, chiding him for not having “some knowledgeable talking heads on our show for a change instead of the same old Trump haters”.
About an hour later, Trump posted a third tweet.
Trump’s online activity is the latest installment of his ongoing clash with Fox.
Trump’s on-again off-again feud with Fox News appears to be on again.
Donald Trump’s tweets slamming Fox News and people who criticize him are “just an extension” of his reality show, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly explained Tuesday.
“There’s only one person that I think could beat Donald Trump and I think it’s you”, Kimmel told O’Reilly.
Citing a recent Census Bureau study that states the median household is 6.5 percent lower than 2007, before the recession, O’Reilly said: “That’s not a political issue, that’s a human being issue”.
Trump, who has been an avid critic of the cable-news network, tweeted his frustrations over O’Reilly’s coverage.

“I think this is just an extension of his reality show, ‘The Apprentice, ‘” O’Reilly said. “But you can’t be so thin-skinned as to try to squelch other points of view”. Everybody else is bashing the hell out of Donald Trump.
