'It's not cool to not know what you're talking about,' Donald



After the New York Times published a story over the weekend titled "Inside the Failing Mission to Tame Donald Trump’s Tongue," Trump went on a Twitter tirade blasting the New York Times...because when manly men are "attacked," they tweet.

From the story:

The sweet IRONY of it all is that his tweets prove the premise of the very NYT story that he is claiming is false: that his campaign people can't get him to focus on issues."
