Trump: Clinton should have congratulated me in acceptance speech

Donald Trump thinks Hillary Clinton should have congratulated him during her acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination.

Trump, who said he watched her speech Thursday night "out of curiosity," said it would have been great if she congratulated him for his primary victories.

"I was curious to see whether she would do a class act and not mention my name or mention it with respect," Trump said at a rally in Colorado Springs, Colo.

He said, imitating Clinton, "I would like to congratulate my Republican opponent for having something that nobody has ever done in the history of politics in this nation. And I would like to congratulate my opponent for having gotten more votes than anybody in the history of the Republican Party in the primary season."

2. He is such a troll. Did he congratulate her for winning more votes than her and

being the first female candidate of a major party?

[YOHABLO]

3. Trump is so "high school". Very immature. Talks like he's a 12 year old. President of the U.S. ???

Are you kidding me? Yeah that's who I want as commander in chief of the armed forces. (:sarcasm

Different pathologies. They can both be present.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Yuuuuuge ego

His biographers have described him that way as well. He also gets belligerent when challenged.

This year, Schwartz has heard some argue that there must be a more thoughtful and nuanced version of Donald Trump that he is keeping in reserve for after the campaign. “There isn’t,” Schwartz insists. “There is no private Trump.” This is not a matter of hindsight. While working on “The Art of the Deal,” Schwartz kept a journal in which he expressed his amazement at Trump’s personality, writing that Trump seemed driven entirely by a need for public attention.

When challenged about the facts, Schwartz says, Trump would often double down, repeat himself, and grow belligerent. This quality was recently on display after Trump posted on Twitter a derogatory image of Hillary Clinton that contained a six-pointed star lifted from a white-supremacist Web site. Campaign staffers took the image down, but two days later Trump angrily defended it, insisting that there was no anti-Semitic implication. Whenever “the thin veneer of Trump’s vanity is challenged,” Schwartz says, he overreacts—not an ideal quality in a head of state.

Blair: Whenever I went to interview him, I always felt like a failure, because he would never say anything. It would just be blather. He would say how great he was, and then I would then get more blather. And that is how he talks on the campaign trail. People always ask me, “Is that how he really is?”

Hurt: Yeah, that’s how he really is.

O’Brien: When you hold his feet to the fire on a fact pattern, he does not handle it well. You saw this a little bit in one of the debates, when the Fox host started putting slides up on him. He melted. He actually looked like he was melting.

[Ilsa]

14. He can be vulgar, but calls on hèr to be a class act?

What a hypocrite!

[truthisfreedom]

15. Definitely dementia.

This man has no filter and needs to be watched. His handlers will be carrying backpacks full of depends soon.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. Talk about thin skinned.

THIS is what we must exploit.

[tanyev]

17. Don't worry, Donald. On Nov. 8th, I'm sure she'll remember to congratulate you for losing.

[groundloop]

19. Didn't you get it, HE WAS ONLY JOKING

Yup, just a joke, he didn't really mean it. Just like my children when they're called out for saying something ugly "I was kidding". Pretty sad, really, a candidate for President is on equal intellectual footing with my teenagers.

[Cha]

21. She didn't need to.. he already congratulated himself too many times.

[riversedge]

22. Spot on.

[Justice]

24. Brilliant response.

[treestar]

32. Ha, yes!

[Cha]

33. ..

[MichiganVote]

26. She probably won't kiss your ass either Donald with dementia.

[Cha]

34. lol.. can you believe this shite?

[MichiganVote]

37. Believe me-he's unbelievable. Removed from reality.

[neeksgeek]

27. I'll tell You What Donald, I'll congratulate you on her behalf...

Congratulations on PROVING that the Republican Party is nothing but a bunch of racist, misogynistic, hateful, privileged war-mongers.

[turbinetree]

29. he really is a juvenile delinquent in everything he says and does

he really believes that he can walk on water------------------this is just amazing, and he is just more dangerous then ever, he is that spoiled rotten




Honk---------------for a political revolution

[unitedwethrive]

30. There is something very, very wrong with him.

[wishstar]

31. Maybe if he had an ounce of decency such as apologizing to Michelle Obama for Melania's plagiarism?

What a narcissistic prick

[forest444]

35. I'm with the Trumpster. Every time he opens his moth, Hillary's chances improve!

The orange oaf has made a real fool of himself in both his rambling acceptance speech (if it can be called a speech at all), as well as in his constant outbursts.

As anyone who;s spoken to at least a few independent voters lately, Trumpolini has confirmed their misgivings about him as a bigot, lightweight, and loose cannon.

[Enrique]

36. his priorities are off

there are a lot of issues facing the country, he shouldn't even be thinking about whether he personally is getting enough congratulations, let alone talking about it.
