Trump Called Reporter ‘Retarded’ For Criticizing His Business Skills

Though Donald Trump would be wealthier today if he had simply taken the fortune he inherited from his father and invested it index funds, he holds out his business acumen as his chief qualification for the presidency.

And he doesn’t take kindly to it being questioned. In a 2004 radio interview with Howard Stern, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee dubbed one unnamed reporter “retarded” for critiquing his business skills (which brings to mind his mocking of a disabled reporter earlier this year).

Trump’s other supposed qualification is that he is not “politically correct,” and says what his supporters would like to say if they could. In any event, here’s Trump on April 14, 2004, on the Howard Stern Show:...

TRUMP: I know I was criticized in one magazine where the writer was retarded, he said, “Donald Trump put up $7 million, they put up $193 million and they are 50/50 partners. Why isn’t Donald Trump putting up more money?” And you know it is supposed to be because I am smart.


Hmmm. Could this be why Lady Blah Blah has disappeared from view? Remember, she called out Bill Maher for using the R-word.
