Just gonna let these tweets speak for themselves as Donald Trump works to get establishment “brain” Karl Rove fired from Fox News, and calls him a “loser” and an “irrelevant clown”:
Irrelevant clown @KarlRove sweats and shakes nervously on @FoxNews as he talks "bull" about me. Has zero cred. Made fool of himself in '12.

.@KarlRove wasted $400 million + and didn’t win one race—a total loser. @FoxNews

.@FoxNews You shouldn’t have @KarlRove on the air—he’s a clown with zero credibility—a Bushy!

We can all appreciate Trump’s mocking of Karl Rove’s losing streak — and what better moment to recall in Rove’s long career of inserting false narratives to trick people into voting Republican than his Fox News face when Ohio was called for Obama in 2012. Memories.
The Karl brain looked pretty stumped that night and indeed, he has been unable to function well as a political strategist and narrative-crafter in the New World of quick fact-checking per the Internet. (This is one reason why Republicans want to make the Internet less available to the Poor People who vote for them.)
But irrelevant clown? That title has been taken already multiple times by current Republican candidates. Not naming names.
No one can say the Donald isn’t a really sore loser himself, though:
I hope the boycott of @Macys continues forever. So many people are cutting up their cards. Macy's stores suck and they are bad for U.S.A.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2015
Yes, Macy’s quit carrying Trump’s stuff after he revealed himself to be a hate monger so now Trump declares they are bad for the USA. Bad for Trump, bad for the USA. See how that works? Kinda exactly like George W. Bush.
Proving only that you don’t have to be a Bushy to be just like a Bushy.
So presidential. “Loser!” And yes, Trump is a Republican and no, he didn’t donate more money to Democrats, though he excels at scoring for the other team.
