'He's weak': Trump comment said to show one Dem attack is 'getting under his skin'

Raw Story  

Donald Trump made a statement on Sunday that many critics interpreted as exhibiting his weakness. While speaking to Turning Point USA's AmFest conference attendees on Sunday, Trump argued that "big companies" wanted him to cut regulations more than slashing taxes. Popular satire account Mrs. Betty Bowers replied with, "This is great for two reasons: it shows that all this President Musk talk is getting under Donald’s notoriously thin skin; and it has to be very insulting to JD Vance." Obama appointee Eric Columbus said, "The last guy Trump claimed wasn’t born in this country was president for eight years." A group of current and former Republicans who oppose Trump, The Lincoln Project, said, "No previous president-elect in history has ever had to say this."
