Donald Trump Rant On Twitter Deleted In Part, But Mogul Still Angry About Election
Donald Trump’s Twitter rant last night during which he called for revolution and wrongly claimed that the popular vote had favored Mitt Romney has in part been deleted, but the reality TV mogul has not stepped off his campaign to blast the President and generally express disgust at the election’s results.
As we reported last night, Donald Trump’s rant began in earnest when the election was sealed and President Obama — whose legitimacy had been relentlessly pummeled by Trump in the past few years — was declared the victor.
Trump began heavily inserting himself into the election in recent weeks, claiming to have a massive bombshell to disrupt Obama’s campaign back in October. But the revelation turned out to be nothing more than an attempt to once again suggest Obama was not an American, demanding his college transcripts in exchange for $5 million.
So Obama’s win upsetting Trump is not unexpected, but the vitriol spewed by the mogul was still a bit of a shock to many on Twitter last night.
And the morning after, it seems The Donald has dialed it back a bit with his deletions, aiming for a new target and attacking Brian Williams between tweets predicting doom and gloom for the next four years.
Williams mentioned Trump’s rant on the news last night, joking that the mogul had “driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.” And Trump is not pleased, as several ranty tweets today demonstrate:
.@bwilliams knows that I think his newscast has become totally boring so he took a shot at me last night.

The only thing more boring than @bwilliams newscast is his show Rock Center which is totally dying in the ratings—a disaster!

.@bwilliams–wouldn’t you love to have my ratings?

This was the Republicans election to win. @mittromney is a good man but he just never connected with the people.

Brian–Thanks dummy–I picked up 70,000 twitter followers yesterday alone. Cable News just passed you in the ratings. @nbcnightlynews

Brian, I hope @nbcnightlynews isn’t paying you too much–look at what’s happening to nightly news.

Brian Williams was never a smart guy but always passes himself off as such. People will learn the truth! @nbcnightlynews
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Brian, if I’m “well past the last exit to relevance” how come you spent so much time reading my tweets last night? @nbcnightlynews

This was the Republicans election to win but they just blew it–reasons why to follow.

Another four years–not good for the country but we’ll have to live with it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Our country is totally split right now but someday it will come together!

Do you think Donald Trump’s original rant on Election Day was in poor taste?
