After tweeting out a “revolution,” the famously vocal Donald Trump has deleted some of the Twitter tirade he posted following President Obama’s re-election.
Trump began tweeting before the election was called that it was ‘‘a total sham and a travesty.’’ After news outlets projected that Obama won the election, Trump tweeted, ‘‘Well, back to the drawing board!’’ He posted more than 10 angry tweets, declaring ‘‘our nation is a once great nation divided’’ and ‘‘the world is laughing at us.’’ He encouraged a ‘‘revolution in this country.’’
The Donald also added new critiques of NBC’s Brian Williams when the anchor showed some of the mogul’s tweets on air. ‘‘He’s driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible,’’ Williams said.
Trump tweeted a retort, saying Williams ‘‘knows that I think his newscast has become totally boring so he took a shot at me last night.’’ He added in another tweet, ‘‘Wouldn’t you love to have my ratings?’’
He also deleted some of Tuesday night’s tirade, including tweets calling for revolution and incorrectly saying that Obama had lost the popular vote. In a recent tweet, he said the election was ‘‘the Republicans to win’’ but that Romney hadn’t connected with the people.
Trump added today, “Amazing, various celebrities were far harsher than me with political statements — but media doesn’t care about them. It is a great honor to have the media so focused on my statements when they don’t cover others.”
Trump is now aiming his fury at Karl Rove. “Congrats to @KarlRove on blowing $400 million this cycle. Every race @CrossroadsGPS ran ads in, the Republicans lost. What a waste of money.”
The mogul endorsed Mitt Romney in the presidential race and garnered publicity last year for questioning whether Obama was born in the US and eligible to be president.
