If anyone says anything slightly negative about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the media, The Donald will not take it lightly.
Last night on 60 Minutes, President Barack Obama said Trump was “the classic reality TV character” and a “great publicity seeker.” Trump took the comments as an insult and took to Twitter, like he always does, and said a bunch of bull-headed things about Obama. He hit Obama about climate change, mainly.
President Obama was terrible on @60Minutes tonight. He said CLIMATE CHANGE is the most important thing, not all of the current disasters!

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2012
He finished by stroking his own ego, saying he was better on 60 Minutes than Obama was.
Great, everyone is saying I did much better on @60Minutes last week than President Obama did tonight. I agree!
