Newspaper publishes two-page spread of Trump Twitter insults

NEW YORK: A foreign newspaper contains a rather striking list of Donald Trump’s Twitter attacks since he launched his presidential campaign.

The two-page spread Monday’s newspaper features an alphabetized tally of the victims of Trump’s caustic social-media bombardments. His targets range from media figures and beyond.

Though feuds on Twitter are common, Trump’s freewheeling use of the social media platform has been astonishing since he began his bid for the White House. The newspaper even accounts for Trump’s many attacks directed at the newspaper and its reporters, whom he has frequently accused of fabricating stories about his campaign.

The list is far from a complete catalog of Trump’s Twitter invective. Because it only chronicles the insults leveled by Trump since the celebrity businessman launched his campaign in the summer of 2015, it misses Trump’s years of insults directed at figures like President Obama, Rosie O’Donnell, Mark Cuban and the British business magnate Alan Sugar. (Back in 2012, Trump tweeted: “Dopey Sugar @Lord_Sugar You can’t carry @piersmorgan’s jock!”). The newspaper has for months been keeping a running interactive tally of Trump’s Twitter attacks, but Monday appears to be the first time it was published in print form.
