Donald Trump is now calling for Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer to be fired after Krauthammer criticized Trump’s performance at last night’s Republican presidential debate.
While appearing on The Kelly File, Krauthammer said the debate showed the “collapse” of Trump:
“The real story is the collapse of Trump in this debate. I thought this, before I saw the Luntz group, but I think it is reinforced. The fact is he was out of place. And when you think about it, when he's free form, when he's uninterrupted, when he can do the flag of ideas, when he can go on his own and ramble, he is entertaining, he is sharp, and he's actually amusing. But here, when he was controlled and in a tight setting, he was lost for most of the debate. And I think it showed that he was in a group of professional politicians whom he mocks, and yet they as a group, individually, were able to handle it and to be sharp and persuasive most of the time, but they left him out in the cold.”
In response, Trump resorted to calling Krauthammer “dopey” and a “clown.” He also called for Krauthammer to be fired:
Trump is currently leading in the polls issued by the Drudge Report and Time as the winner of last night debate.
